Situated in Kumamoto, 2.4 km from Suizenji Park, 旅の途中 On the trip features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. Located around 6.9 km from Hosokawa Residence Gyobutei, the hostel with free WiFi is also 7.1 km away from Egao Kenko Stadium Kumamoto. The property is non-smoking and is set 5.4 km from Kumamoto Castle. 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 ❤️
