Tamaki Ryokan

Classic Japanese ryokan experience. Most outstanding Japanese breakfast ever!!! Succulent mackerel. Heavenly rice. And the most delicious homemade miso soup with fresh mushrooms and daikon. Perfect way to start a vacation on our first day.

Huone oli mukava ja siisti. Henkilökunta erittäin ammattitaitoinen ja ystävällinen. Aamupala huippulaatua!

You sleep in a futon on a tatami, so expect to get a sore back

The owner is very nice and helpful, the breakfast was delicious

Privat geführte, familiäre Pension im klassisch japanischen Stil mit Futonbetten. Zimmer für japanische Verhältnisse eher groß und recht günstig. Der Betreiber ist wirklich sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Leckeres, typisch japanisches Frühstück (kein Buffet) wird bis 9 Uhr im angeschlossenen neuen Frühstückslokal serviert. Gute Anbindung an den Nahverkehr, da nur wenige Fußminuten von der Straßenbahn und auch der JR-Zugstrecke (mit der man auch in den Aso-Nationalpark kommt) entfernt. Convenience Stores und einige kleine Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar.

Das Niveau ist insgesamt ziemlich einfach und bietet kaum Komfort. Die Ausstattung ist eher alt, gerade im engen Badezimmer ist das sehr offensichtlich. Wir hatten ein Zimmer unter dem Dach, das im Sommer trotz Klimaanlage heiß wurde (vor allem im Bad). Das Gepäck die enge, unbequeme Treppe hinauf und wieder herunter zu bekommen war mühsam (es gibt keinen Fahrstuhl). WLAN war in unserem Zimmer schwach und unzuverlässig.

L’hôte est incroyable, souriant, serviables et facilitant.

Die Unterkunft wird von einem fantastischen Gastgeber geführt. Freundlich, hilfsbereit und ein sehr guter Koch. Wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen.

It was in a quiet area but close to a tram line. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Homely breakfast/dining room.

The futon was a bit hard for me. I like squishy mattresses and pillows, but I know some people are happy on a hard bed.

Staff was very friendly, kind and helpful. Tha room was very clean and the breakfast very delicios. I would highly recommend trying out the breakfast. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay !

Our hosts were wonderful! Always helpful with smiles on their faces. Location is great…close to street with lots of buses for transportation but in a quiet little neighborhood. 711 is a couple blocks away if needed. Definitely have breakfast! Delicious and very reasonable! Great way to start the day! Highly recommend Tamaki Ryoken if staying in Kumamoto

とてもいい旅館です。大きくないが設備はほぼ完備で、文句なしです。ご主人さんがとても親切で、朝ご飯はとてもおいしかったです。ある事情でご主人さんに「バイバイ」できないが、ここで「ごちそうさまでした」と「ありがとうございました。」と言いたいです。

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.

娘一人の長期滞在でしたが、旅館のご主人にたいそうご親切にして頂き感謝しています。娘は旅館のファミリー的なよさ、おいしい食事に満足していました。

Owners are very nice. Room is huge and very comfortable. My child has great time while staying there.

スタッフの方がとても親切にしてくださいました。 小さな子連れの場合は希望すれば水筒に麦茶を入れてくれます。よく晴れた暑い日だったので麦茶があってとても助かりました旅館にはエレベーターはありませんので重い荷物や小さな子連れの方は階段移動を覚悟してください。 3階の階段付近に共用の冷蔵庫と電子レンジがあります。 部屋はとても清潔にされていますが、水周りは年季が入っている感じがあります。 ユニットバスは1人で入るにも狭い部類です。子供と一緒に入るのはとても狭かったので、子連れの人こそ通常タイプの部屋ではなく大きなお風呂がある部屋をオススメします。 朝食付きのプランにしましたが、子供には魚を皮も骨も取ってある状態で提供してくれました。ふっくら柔らかく油ののった美味しい秋刀魚でした。 ご飯、お味噌汁、卵焼き、切り干し大根、とても美味しかったです。ご馳走様でした。

The Owner is an incredible cook, eat there!! The room was clean & basic but a good value for the $ Owner & wife are very helpful

Location

Home owner was nice and welcoming.

The room was a large traditional Japanese room with tatami and roll out Futon mattresses to sleep on the floor. It was pleasant and quiet. Staff were helpful. there was a private toilet and bathroom and it was quite retro which personally I liked. Parking was easily available. The staff were nice and had information about the local area easily available

The bathroom was a little run down and while generally clean could have benefited from a deep clean and some maintenance. Sleeping on the floor was hard! I realise that this should be expected however I have slept in other traditional Japanese rooms which were softer so maybe the Futon could have been better.

Breakfast and dinner were excellent.

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!

The Ryokan was very comfortable and the breakfast was very delicious 😊

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.

The check-in process for us was quite confusing. The staff was not present during the appointed check-in time, and we were left to wonder around the apartment for awhile not knowing when he would return, since there was not direct way of communication besides email. We went to check if there was any note left behind in the rooms but none to be found. We ended up leaving our luggage in one room with the keys left inside and left to go about the rest of the day. Turned out to be the wrong room, but he still made good arrangements to help us settle in for the night.

A wonderful ryokan! We stayed here as a family—two adults and two children. The room was very spacious. We loved that the yukatas were provided not only for adults but also for children. It was also a nice touch to have toys available for the kids. The breakfast was delicious as well.

Il y avait très peu de restaurants intéressants à distance à pied de cet hébergement. Il m’a fallu prendre le tramway et me rendre au centre ville (15-20 min) pour le repas du soir. C’est vraiment le seul inconvénient!

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!

WiFi was failing to connect for the first night but we came in rather late so, fair enough. However it was working the next day so excellent.

不満なところが無い。ご飯も美味しく、部屋・風呂などですごく綺麗で長期滞在してもストレスなく泊まれる所だと思った。 また泊まりたい。

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.

The wifi was intermittent, but otherwise everything was fine.

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.

The bathrooms were quite tight for my 192cm body...but workable and also very clean.

Great location, 5min walk to JR train station. Furnished with clean tatami and toiletries. The host was prompt in his replies, i was caught in a jam and was late , updated him thur the msg, and within the next minute he replies and acknowledge.

Nil

service mind

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!

None

Great friendly host, fantastic breakfast, in quiet neighborhood, clean and well maintained, rooms are spacious.

Stairs only, in a suburb location without lots of nearby restaurant, far from nearest train/bus stop

Location is great, very quiet.

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.

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.

We got very cold during night and the ryokan was a bit messy in the communal area, the bathroom is very small. For breakfast, I told the ryokan that I was gluten-free when I booked, they said it was ok. When we arrived, they mentionned it was ok for them and they will make a gluten-free breakfast for me, I was really happy about it. But at breakfast, I was served with miso soup and Japanese omelette which are normally made with soy sauce containing gluten. I asked but they said it was gluten free, I asked if it contained soy sauce, they said yes! They did not know that soy sauce contained gluten! I think they should be more considerate about that. Allergies are really important, it can put the guests in really bad conditions, I would have liked them to make the effort to check what gluten is and would have understood how important it was for me to eat safely.

Very nice staff, happy to help. Good ryokan. We would stay here again.

location and breakfast

Very kind owner, excellent breakfest, communication without any issues

Bathroom

Nice home feeling with friendly host and staff. Very helpful. Breakfast included is very good. Only few minutes walk to misotenjin-mae tram stop. Hidden coin laundry around the corner. Hotel is highly recommended for budget travellers.

Nice traditional family Roykan. Breakfast was good. It is very close to the center of Kumamoto and easy to reach by tram.

The bathroom in our room is a bit worn and can do with a facelift.

Very nice ryokan in a strategic position The owner, Hiro, is a great person and gave me all the support I needed for everything, from tram ingo to reaching Takechiho Gorge

Nothing to declare

Staff were very accommodating. Our room comfortably fit 5 people and luggages easily. They also assisted us with our luggage forwarding.

the owner is really nice, and his english ability do add lots of points.

Nothing actually

掃除が行き届いていて清潔でした。 アットホームな雰囲気で、 接客もにこやかに対応して頂きました。 また機会がありましたら伺いたいです。

Friendly

Nothing

リズナブルな価格、便利なエリア。 朝食もよかった。

Living in a traditional Japanese room was a good experience. The host was also very nice.

It's not very close to the city's attractions and the main railway station.

Super expérience

Really nice owners and great location, close to a tram stop and JR station, which makes it perfect for a trip to Mount Aso. Also in a quite street so you can get a good nights sleep. The room was a good size and I would recommend the breakfast which was first class. Thank you, I really enjoyed my stay at Tamaki Ryokan.

It was all good!

During my trip in Kumamoto I stayed at Tamaki Ryokan and it was a pleasant experience. While the owners' knowledge of English was limited, they tried to make themselves understandable (and so did I with my limited knowledge of Japanese). They helped me when I asked for help (e.g. checking whether or not Asosan was accessible - it was). The room was in traditional tatami mat style with a futon (see pictures), and the bathroom was a basic model with all necessary functions. The star of this stay was definitely the breakfast experience. The husband of the couple running this ryokan is the chef, and he is VERY good at this. Without a doubt this was the best breakfast experience I had during this trip in Japan. Also: grapes the size of plums, some of the best I've ever had. This was the "Japanese fruit" experience that I heard so much about. Also: the location of the ryokan is good (close to tram and train station Shin-Suizenji), and is very close to a post office (which I used to send postcards to my family).

Location is good nearly location train and Tram, you could go to your Ryokanim multiple way. The Owner and staff very helpful. He help me for travel to Aso volcano. without his help I count not go to Aso volcano at all. The room is comfortable

Tamaki Ryokan is just fantastic! Where to begin? From the moment you enter you are feeling like it's "home". Just the japanese Version :-) The owner and his wife are very welcoming and English was no problem at all. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the breakfast was fantastic - yes, it's japanese and it's not what we're used to but the experience is fantastic and we really enjoyed it. The Futon was comfy and we slept like logs. We would definitely recommend this place - but mind yourself: the rooms are not huge and the stairs are a bit steep - if you can live with that: go for it! You won't regret it. Would stay there again 10/10 - Arigatou gozaimasu!

That we only spent one night :-(

The owner is very familiar with Kumamoto, he could provide amazing advice and introductions.

The comfortable accommodation and delicious breakfast made me feel at home every day of my stay.

Probably one of the best places I stayed, super clean, well equiped, great hosts (and breakfast!). Would recommend!

Authentic Japanese Experience, host was amazing, and the room was a unique Japanese experience. Japanese Breakfast was delicious. Location is great. Would happily stay here again.

The stairs to get to the top haha. A little difficult with luggage.

It was overall a happy stay. Owner of the place was very nice and helpful. The room was very spacious. Breakfast was ok. Parking cost 600 yen, not sure if it’s for each stay or just overnight. We stayed one night only. There were a few small flies flying around the whole night (we weren’t able to catch them before falling sleep). Walkable distance to the tram station. Quite a few restaurants around the place. We stayed on the ground floor. The bathroom wall could be cleaner as the wall is full of black moulds all the way from the sink up to the ceiling, and overall the ceiling. Kids and I found that quite disgusting. The bathtub sealant was full of mould too. These could be fixed easily I’m sure.

Good public transport link to city as well as to Aso. Pleasant neighbourhood .

Bathroom too small (at least for us).

Bel hébergement. Les hôtes nous ont bien acceuilli.

breakfast is excellent room is spacial and clean

bath room is too small

Breakfast was super. Easy parking. Friendly staff

Room is small for 2, even for japanese standards...

료칸은 아니구요 다다미가 깔린 방이 있는 일반 주택을 활용한 Guest House느낌의 시설입니다. 주인분은 아주 친절하시구요. 그냥 잠만 자고 오시는 것으로 생각하시면 됩니다.

お風呂のお湯の温度をもう少し高くしてほしいです。

The host is really nice, always smiling and speaks English. He is also an excellent cook, I had amazing breakfasts here! The place is really clean and the futon is absolutely comfortable.

Very nice staff and large room. The tap water in Kumamoto is drinkable and very well rated. The ryokan is also a parking location for Charichari app rental bikes. Meal service is also available for an additional cost and reserved in advance of your stay.

was quite difficult with only stairs access but hiro was extremely helpful in helping to carry the bags up and down the stairs during both check in and out.

Great value. Good breakfast!

Nothing much.

Lovely ryokan stay for our family. The owner is/was a chef and made a delicious dinner ( booked in advance) and breakfast too. Parking was right there. Very friendly and welcoming

Can’t think of anything

Short and sweet 👌

Short and sweet 👌

The boss is nice. Before we come here, the boss made a call to check the thing we need. The breakfast is so great.

Simple and good. Room was clean. Location is decent. Some considerations: You’d have to carry your luggage up to the second or third floor. If you are 180cm or taller, the shower would be too small for you. Nothing particularly exceptional but nothing bad either. Good value place.

The breakfast was very good.

Really lovely room, quiet . Excellent breakfast.

Very homely and comfortable. Owner was super nice and made me feel at home

Nothing really :)
