We had an amazing time and evening with them and the other guests. We also were helped out with a vegeterian dinner since the restaurants nearby did not offer such an option. Our unexpected highlight of the trip!

We particularly appreciated the kindness of Rie the owner and the quality of the accommodation overall

The best Guesthouse I have ever stayed in! The host is a super nice and attentive person, he made us feel like we were at home. The hostel is beautiful, it is made of details and with a lot of love love. They have two beautiful kittens!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely accommodation. It’s located in a very quiet and peaceful area, yet still very convenient — just a few minutes’ drive to supermarkets, convenience stores, and restaurants. The cottage is beautifully decorated with a lot of care. It truly feels like a home away from home. There were six of us, and the space was more than enough for everyone to feel comfortable. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, and even went out of their way to help us make a dinner reservation — we really appreciated that kind gesture. The place is also very well-equipped with everything we needed. We only stayed for one night this time, which felt far too short. Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to come back and stay for a few more days next time. Overall, this stay went beyond my expectations. Highly recommended!

We stayed for 2 nights at Hokkoma cottage and loved our stay. The property itself was wonderful, had everything we needed and felt like home. Our trip was focused on taking advantage of Aso's beautiful nature and the cottage's location allowed us to do this. It was also great to know that there was a large bath to use after the hike to soak our tired legs!

A friend said this was her favourite hotel in Japan - and it lived up to expectations. We had one of the twin rooms in the main building, which had a separate sitting room and bathroom. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. What makes this hotel stand out is1) cuisine 2) astronomy 3) friendliness of all those who work there. The breakfasts and dinners we ate at this hotel are some of the best meals I have ever eaten in my life. If you stay more than one night you get a different cooked breakfast and evening meal to the previous day. French cuisine with Japanese accents. The local beef was so tender, the vegetables so fresh, the homemade bread delicious! The meals are at set times with a set menu - I had contacted them in advance about my food allergy and they did not cook with mushrooms during our stay. They use local beef or pork - they can adjust menus for those who are pescatarian, or want to avoid beef or pork, but do not offer vegetarian meals. The hotel has its own Planetarium with a show for guests each evening - live commentary mainly in Japanese with some English. Next door is the Observatory with an 82cm telescope (2nd biggest in the whole of Kyushu). As part of the stargazing experience ( free to hotel guests) we were able to look through the telescope to see Jupiter, Mars, Sirius, Betelgeuse etc - with live explanations in Japanese and English. The final part of the evening was spent outside lying on camp beds wrapped up warmly in sleeping bags stargazing while a professional astronomer asked us questions on what we had already learnt that evening - could we find the stars and planets we had already looked at through the telescope. He pointed out how we can identify different stars and planets - and answered questions in Japanese and English ( having worked and studied at universities in the USA for 20 years he was bilingual). Many of the staff at the hotel are professional astronomers - post doctoral level.

The host is hospitable. They prepare the Soba noodles as new year. We love the food they prepare. It’s delicious ❤️
