Cheap hotels in Kikuchi

The host, which I was allowed to call Rio is super nice and welcoming. And as a young traveler he created a very safe and calm atmosphere. The hostel was super comfortable, clean and had everything I needed. Kikuchi is such a nice place with many beautiful spots around the area. I rented a bike from Rio and drove around on my first day, and I was positively overwhelmed by the beauty of the nature! I can recommend to go here!:)

Great place to stay, was very clean and spacious and the breakfast was delicious! Would highly recommend to any travellers passing through.

Albeit a bit out of the way, especially if you don't drive, the hospitality and quality of the rooms & food provided are by far worth the trip. My wife and I went here as part of our honeymoon trip, and after travelling by bus for an hour (from Kumamoto) and a 20-minute walk in torrential rain with a suitcase each, we arrived to be greeted warmly and for them to help dry off our suitcases and shoes without even asking. We were given a little basket each and were asked to pick some items to make our stay comfortable, such as face wash, toothbrush/paste, hair brush, socks, and a yukata. You could choose your own which was a nice touch. The room we stayed in was very sizable and led out back to a gorgeous private onsen. The dinner we had was 7 courses, consisting of whatever local seasonal foods they had. So a range of different vegetables, fish, crab & meat. The quality of the food was phenomenal, and the staff were very professional yet friendly. I speak limited Japanese and they speak limited English but they were committed to communicating with us about the food to make sure we had the best dining experience. We each left a sizable amount of rice as we were full by the end, and the staff offered to use the remaining to make onigiri for us to take with us! The breakfast the following morning was also of very high quality, and plenty of it too! This again came in a number of courses and was delicious. We would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a lovely experience at a Ryokan that has a private onsen. I couldn't ask for a better staff to give you a fantastic stay.

Very lovely people and great place. Even possibility to cook own food.

Love the villa and the jap cultural experiences

Everything is simply perfect. Superior quality.
