“A ryokan stay that felt like a homestay due to the friendly atmosphere created in the dining and living area.”
It was in a quiet area but close to a tram line. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Homely breakfast/dining room.

“Best place I stayed in Japan”
The Ryokan was great. The room was spacious, clean, and perfect for one person. A short tram ride from the castle and train station. But what elevates this place is the service. Hiro and Mai are two fantastic individuals and they took care of me. Hiro makes perhaps the best breakfasts I had in Japan. I highly recommend the ryokan.

Very kind, helpful, and attentive host, great japanese breakfast, nearby train and tram stations. If I book a stay in Kumamoto again, it will definitely be Tamaki!

I stayed at Tamaki Ryokan for almost a week, which was super active, because Kumamoto and Kyushu in general are super interesting, and it was very nice to come back in the evening. Come like half-dead and such a plop bang on the futon! A comfortable nest with a truly Japanese atmosphere and kilometers of tatami. A yokai could live in a cool closet, it's a pity that it was not there. It was especially cool to drink the famous tap water, standing on the balcony with a view of the blooming sakura. If I can return to Kumamoto in the future, I will definitely stay here again. Thank you Mai-san and Hiro-san. (arigatou and spasibo too, lol)

The room clean up service provided by the staff was excellent, making sure that the room essentials were well stocked. The location was fairly great for its value, not the nearest to the city center but it helped that we had a car to travel about.

“First time experiencing a Ryokan. Would stay again 100 percent.”
ひろさん was a brilliant cook, and lovely person to talk to. Enjoyed the beds. Some of the best sleep I've had in Japan!

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.

“Convenient, clean, everything it claims to be.”
Very clean, great breakfast, convenient location to take the tram into down-town and to the castle. Lots of dinner options in short walking distance. Good parking.

“Relaxed like locals”
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!

“Welcoming and close to a JR station”
The ryokan is well located near the Suizenji Koen, the Luffy statue and near a JR station on the Hohi Line, which is very convenient but you need to take the bus for the castle (which was in renovation for us so we could not see it). The room was cleaned. Staff was very nice.

“Homely, peaceful accomodation, ran by fantastic hosts that is accessible and budget-friendly.”
Fantastic family-owned ryokan, the owner and his wife were super kind and helpful, and answered any questions I had regarding the surrounding area and city. Though my stay was short, it was pretty exceptional as returning to the ryokan every night felt like coming back home.
