A serene space woven by magnificent nature. Located in the heart of Kyushu, this special accommodation offers private rooms with a panoramic view of the mountains in Minami Aso.

Located in Minami Aso, Kumamoto, at the heart of Kyushu, Ryokan Minawa is a secluded accommodation surrounded by the majestic nature and mountains of Minami Aso. The property features seasonal flowers and plants, fresh ingredients, refreshing mountain air, and the soothing sounds of nature. A serene space far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life.

  • This Accommodation features only 10 detached villas, surrounded by rice fields and the deep green of the mountains. You’ll be welcomed by Mi-chan, our resident cat, along with the friendly Kamo team. In the open-air bath attached to your Room, you might even be greeted by a tiny Japanese tree frog—small enough to fit on your fingertip. The meals are delicious and perfectly portioned. All staff were warm and welcoming, making our stay truly comfortable. We’ll definitely be back!

  • Time passed slowly, and I was able to relax.The Onsen in the Room and the semi-open-air bath were wonderful, and the Japanese taiko drum performance by the young players before dinner felt refreshing.The food was delicious!
