“A great value stay next to Kumamoto JR in a clean, modern capsule hotel.”
The location was directly adjacent to Kumamoto JR station. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were modern and clean. The beds were comfy, and I enjoyed wearing the complimentary pyjamas. The price was very reasonable for a two nights stay.

Close to the station, rooms were laid out well (a good balance of being able to meet roommates but also still feeling private)

“Malique's 2 days in Kumamoto”
Being my first time in Japan, I didn't know what to expect from the hostels. However, the location was absolutely amazing. The hostel is directly opposite the train station. The hostel also offers a luggage service and a bike rental service. You absolutely must rent a bike. I am an anime guy and riding on a bike around Kumamoto felt like a 12 episode anime hahah. The people in Kumamoto were very friendly and Kumamoto is one of my top 5 places in Japan. The hostel also offered traditional clothing, which I was so grateful for.

“Enjoyable”
Great location, staff spoke enough English that checking in was very easy, facilities were super clean. Each bed comes with a locker big enough to fit a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. Quick and easy access from Kumamoto Station.
