Tamaki Ryokan is just fantastic! Where to begin? From the moment you enter you are feeling like it's "home". Just the japanese Version :-) The owner and his wife are very welcoming and English was no problem at all. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the breakfast was fantastic - yes, it's japanese and it's not what we're used to but the experience is fantastic and we really enjoyed it. The Futon was comfy and we slept like logs. We would definitely recommend this place - but mind yourself: the rooms are not huge and the stairs are a bit steep - if you can live with that: go for it! You won't regret it. Would stay there again 10/10 - Arigatou gozaimasu!

That we only spent one night :-(

It's an original ryokan experience in the middle of the city. This means: tatami mats and futon. I never tried that before, so I really wanted this type of experience. The Japanese breakfast was really, REALLY good. The husband of the couple is a really good chef! Also, they took into account my food allergies (always nice). The location is also good in my opinion. It's a 5-minute walk from Shin-Suizenji, which has a stop for the streetcars and a train stop that quickly goes to Kumamoto station, and in the other direction already sets you on the path to Aso (if you want to explore the volcano).

Small family-run ryokan. The hosts were super hospitable, they can communicate in basic English. The traditional breakfast was delicious and very homey. The ryokan is in a residential neighborhood that is close to transit (both the train and streetcar stations), so you have easy access to go in either direction to Kumamoto Station or the airport while being able to sleep in a quiet area at night. Also plenty of restaurants and konbini nearby. The room and bath/toilet facilities were clean, fresh towels were provided daily. The rooms are traditional tatami so you sleep on a futon. There is a coin laundry right across the street.

We had a traditional Japanese room. It was small, but we knew that going in so wasn’t an issue. 😊 The room was very clean and had a nice balcony that allowed in fresh air. The blankets provided were very soft and comfortable. The people running the Ryoken were very lovely and we had no issues communicating in basic English/Japanese. I would recommend this place for anyone coming to the area.

The futons provided felt a bit thin, but it could just be because we aren’t used to that style of sleeping. Additionally, the shower was a bit too small for my partner who is 193cm. He had to sit down in the bath so just be aware.

- You will be accommodated in a three-storey house in a quiet area. The tram stop is a few minute’s walk from the house. - You can book a large traditional breakfast and also dinner with your stay. I only had breakfast and the host is a really good cook. He also responded to my personal wishes in terms of food. - The room was comfortable with its own air conditioning and a small bathroom. In the hallway there was a large refrigerator and a microwave for guests to use. - Fresh towels and shampoo were provided every day.

- stairs to the room (not barrier-free) - To reduce plastic waste, rooms could be provided with shampoo bottles instead of the small bags every day.

This location, Miso-Tenjin/Shin Suizenji, is quite a good hub point. You can go anywhere: the castle, stations, malls, shrines, and of course, the famous Suizenji Garden within 10 to 15 mins. by bike(you can directly use shared cycles right here!), trams and buses. You'll also have an excellent concierge here. He definitely gives you good points of view about Kumamoto. Just enjoy!

This is a small family run ryokan. The owner - Hiro san and wife offered great hospitality and helped us to carry our heavy luggage to our rooms. We like the dinner prepared by them... it was delicious and taste home cooked. We feel 'at home'. The tatami room is comfortable for 2 paxs. Though it's a small ryokan, all the amenities are provided adequately. There's parking beside ryokan, just have to pay. Would love to stay here again.

The toilet is slightly small but it's within our expectation. Most importantly, it's clean and well maintained.

Simple tatami room in a guesthouse in the Suizenji area of Kumamoto. The area is quiet, but reasonably well-connected to sights and restaurants via train and tram. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and there is everything you need for a short stay.

The wifi was intermittent, but otherwise everything was fine.

The Ryokan is only a view minutes away from Suizenji Station, so you can easily go by train to Kumamoto Station within about 15 minutes. The staff was super nice and the rooms really felt like a traditional washitsu but with the very nice addition that you have your own bathroom.

The water took like forever to get warm, so be sure to plan enough time if you want to take a shower or bath. A futon is never a good thing to sleep on if you are a side sleeper but the blankets were nice and thick so you could easily make yourself comfy in bed.

We had an amazing stay at the Tamaki Ryokan in Kumamoto. The room was a gorgeous tatami room, and was very clean and cozy. We also loved waking up to a delicious home-cooked breakfast. The owners kindness and hospitality was one of the highlights of our time in Japan, and they were very accommodating when we asked to store our luggage there on the day of our departure. We hope to stay here again next time we are in Kumamoto, and would highly recommend this ryokan to others.
