Recent Reviews in Makinoto Onsen

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and every space is really clean !! Food is buffet style but pretty good. Worth it with price"

Yufuin Yawaraginosato Yadoya

8/10 Good

"Hotel is an older facility, so our Japanese style room had a little musty odor and facilities were a little dated. Service staff at front desk and restaurants were fantastic. We had a half board plan; the sukiyaki dinner was OK and breakfast was excellent."

"It was our first visit to Japan and we had such a great time here. Nice and pleasant staff, clean facility and located in the beautiful place. Also the breakfast and dinner were amazing."

Fairfield By Marriott Kumamoto Aso

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with good room sizes. Only down side is no food on premise but they have microwaves, ovens/toasters, free coffee and tea and a big lounge/eating area. Parking is free but does fill up by the evening so be mindful of that if planning on arriving late."

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at the hotel. It is very quiet and the location is amazing. We really enjoyed the buffet dinner and breakfast and the onsen was a great way to start and end the day! Our room was spacious (twin beds) with a great view of the mountain. We will definitely come back if we ever come back in the area. We even considered extending our stay but couldn’t because of other plans. Highly recommended for a relaxing time."
