KOKO HOTEL Kumamoto Kamitori

Conveniently located near the Kamitori Shopping Arcade and the tram stop, with great value for money. The sauna and large public bath are also very comfortable. Compared to the Sakuramachi area it’s a bit quieter, but around Kamitori there are vintage clothing shops and stylish stores tucked away in small side streets, giving it a Shimokitazawa-like vibe that’s fun to explore. Parking isn’t an issue either, as there’s a nearby affiliated large multi-story parking garage. However, if you take your car in and out, you can no longer use the parking validation ticket.

We stayed as a family of three. We had connecting Rooms: a twin Room and a double Room connected by opening the double doors between them. Both twin beds were double-sized, so we had plenty of space and it was very comfortable. The large public bath was available all night. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with many Kumamoto specialties such as Taipien, Ikinari Dango, and Dago-jiru—on par with some high-end business Hotels. It was a very satisfying Hotel stay.
