Flower Garden

I really enjoyed my stay, it was a completely different experience than other places I've stayed in Japan. The area has a slightly spooky, Alabama-esque feel. Maybe it was becouse of the goat outside my window, maybe the American-style buildings, or maybe, aside from meeting the lovely owners once at check-in, I didn't see a single person during my one-night stay. The room was clean, the bed very comfortable, and the air conditioning worked flawlessly (as did the Wi-Fi) a big plus for the fridge in the room (there are no shops at the area, I recommend buying some sandwiches etc earlier). It was the cheapest option I could find in the area, a bit pricey for the standard, but considering the spooky vibe (which I liked), I can't really complain. My destination was the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, and it was a 30-minute walk. It's about an hour's walk from the train station. It's also a 15-minute walk from the coolest old-school samurai-style restaurant I've ever been to.

建物は立派ではありませんが、ペンションのオーナさん？（ママさん？）が終始笑顔で気分良く宿泊できました（しかも美人でした笑）。 今回は素泊まりでしたが、食事も頼んでペンションオーナとの食事中の接点があったらよかったな、、、とも思いました。次回にまた阿蘇エリアに来た際には是非お邪魔します。

お部屋にTVがあると良かったです。建物のつくりが立派ではないペンションなので仕方ありませんが、室内の音が通路に漏れるので夫婦やカップルの方方は気を遣うかもしれません。自分的には問題なかったです。

清潔、ゆったりした部屋 出入りに自由がきくところ

L'environnement forêt montagne

Je n'ai pas vu de fleurs. Équipements défraîchis. Baignoire crade. Eau chaude SDB quasi inexistante. J'ai eu droit a une minuscule serviette jetable pour mon séjour de 3 jours. Personnel invisible. Rien a manger a des km a la ronde en ce fin de mois d'octobre. Il y a 4 bus par jour depuis et vers takamori (ou 45 minutes a pied)
