Awesome hotel right downtown of Kumamoto covered walkway. Hotel is huge with a great and spacious onsen with both outdoor and indoor bath. Lot of great dinner options. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Kumamoto castle is 15min walking.

Reception were very friendly and helpful. The location was very central, which unfortunately resulted in higher parking costs overnight. The internet was excellent, and a coin laundry was available. We didn't worry about the hot baths. The only real negative was the minimal space for suitcases. This wasn't popular with my travelling companions.
