Hostels in Kumamoto

The aesthetic! The place is very beautiful, every detail is well thought and the host is super kind and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay

I had an amazing stay at On The Trip – truly one of the most comfortable hostels I’ve ever been to! My room was small but very cozy, private, and had the authentic feel of Japan. The whole place is stylish, clean, and full of Japanese vibes. They even provided me with a fresh set of towels after a few days and prepared food for me on my last day, which was such a thoughtful touch. The owners are incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help – truly wonderful people! I felt very welcome and am extremely grateful for the time I spent here. I’m honestly sad to leave and would love to come back again. As for the location – it’s not right in the city center, but there are several bus stops nearby, so getting around is very easy. And for One Piece fans, this hostel is a perfect choice – the Luffy statue is just a pleasant 30-minute walk away, and from there it’s also easy to reach some other statues. Thank you very much for such a great experience, On The Trip – this place will always stay in my heart ❤️

The restrooms and shower were clean, the dorm was quiet and there was a locker in each room for each guest to store their belongings in, which might come in handy when you have to share a room. I was able to stay by myself though and was able to fully relax. The bed was comfortable and the locker is spacious. The lighting is comfortable. The staff was really kind and helpful. I wasn't able to find the bus stop location of my bus online and went to the front desk at 11pm to ask for help. They kindly printed out a map of the bus stops at Kumamoto Station and explained how to get there twice and made sure I understood. I really appreciated that.

It was clean and comfortable. The manager was also very kind, polite and nice.
