Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park Resort

Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel and onsen, especially for the price. We were assigned one of the 8th floor themed rooms with the Aso bear as decorationā€”adorable and great room. Room was spacious and beds comfortable. The buffet dinner and breakfast were well worth the price! The kidsā€™ play room was fun; the indoor pool was great (including a sauna at 95 Celsius). We didnā€™t get a chance to do the regular onsen, but did reserve a private onsen, which was cheap and well worth it if youā€™re a little uncomfortable otherwise. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is great for visiting the Aso area as well. 10/10 hotel."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tamarai?
The best area to stay in Tamarai is the Yufuin Onsen district, particularly around Yunotsubo Kaido street, for its classic hot spring town experience.

Yufuin Onsen is the heart of Tamarai, known for its traditional Japanese inns (ryokans) and natural hot springs. Yunotsubo Kaido is the main pedestrian street, lined with small shops selling local crafts, sweets, and souvenirs, leading towards Lake Kinrinko. The area is surrounded by lush greenery and offers beautiful views of Mount Yufu.

Couples looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway will find Yufuin Onsen ideal. Many ryokans offer private onsen baths, allowing for an intimate experience. Strolling along Yunotsubo Kaido, enjoying local delicacies, and visiting the tranquil Lake Kinrinko provides a peaceful and memorable trip.

For those seeking a more secluded and tranquil experience, the area slightly further from Yunotsubo Kaido, closer to the base of Mount Yufu, offers ryokans with larger grounds and more expansive views.
When is the best time to go to Tamarai?
The best time to visit Tamarai is during the spring (late March to early May) and autumn (late September to early November) months.

Spring in Tamarai offers comfortable temperatures and the opportunity to see the cherry blossoms. The area around the Tamari River is particularly picturesque during this season, with many local parks and gardens showcasing the blooms. It's a wonderful time for couples to enjoy scenic walks and outdoor dining.

Autumn provides pleasant weather and stunning foliage, especially in the surrounding mountains and valleys. The changing colours create a beautiful backdrop for exploring the region's hot springs and hiking trails. For those who appreciate outdoor activities and natural beauty, autumn is ideal.
