20 Unique Hotels in Japan

Established in 1979, it was operated as a long-established pension in Kyushu, "Kaze no Oka / Nobara". It was damaged by the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016 and had been closed for a long time. After five and a half years, we are finally back in business. The newly built building has been reborn as a "small hotel" with 5 rooms, including 1 room dedicated to guests with their dogs. The store name is also new, "Minami Aso Nobara INN". The barrier-free, elevator-equipped building has an orthodox design with soft colors, so that anyone can feel a gentle and healing space. All the guest rooms are twin rooms with baths with outstanding views. Although it has a simple and natural atmosphere, we have prepared the latest equipment such as Simmons beds and floor heating so that you can spend a comfortable time. In addition, the parking lot is stored on the first floor of the building, so it is covered and comfortable even on rainy days. Since its founding, the popular specialty dish "spare ribs" has also been revived, and we will welcome customers with more homely hospitality than ever before. We look forward to welcoming you to our small hotel Minami Aso Nobara INN.

This pension is popular for its charcoal-grilled 100% Higo Akaushi beef hamburger for barbecue-style dinner and homemade bread for breakfast. There are rooms that can accommodate 4 or more people, which is rare in nearby pensions, and a log house with a wood stove that can be rented as a whole. There are 3 guest rooms in the main building and a total of 4 rooms in the log house building. In the garden where seasonal flowers bloom, there are seesaws and swings handmade by the owner, which are especially popular with children. There are some parts that are not as well-equipped as compared to hotels, but we would appreciate it if you could help us spend a relaxing and calm time.
