As some of you already know, I often don’t spend much money on accommodation. I enjoy the pricier establishments of course, but many of my fondest memories were produced in much humbler places. Little Asia guest house, Minami-Aso, was one of those.
The guesthouse was run by this super mom and her dad (no English at all) + 2 kids lol. They’re so friendly and willing to help / chat. Homely Japanese hospitality.
Hubby and I stayed there for 3 nights. It was amazingly simple and homely. So relaxed with the wooden all over look. Tatami on a bunk bed?
There was a communal barbecue and kitchen. Cottage room came with private kitchen.
It was just a wonderful experience. Hubby and I did the full house thrifty experience by dining ‘locally’ too. Cup noodle for night no.1 LOL.
I was totally obsessed with this matcha / tea making machine!!! Too bad that it is only available for Japan 🙁
Based on our reservation, we had free breakfast with the accommodation:
Breakfast = 1 slice of toast + coffee / tea
Dinner (JPY350 / person) must be reserved daily before 17h00. Dinner = super mom made Japanese dinner. (LOVE)
While these were not a flashy meal, it was just one of those favourite meals! The simplicity and the local elements was what I loved about it. It was just so enjoyable to be having an half-ass Japanese conversation with a friendly grandpa or other felling travelers. I am a huge sucker for this type of experience.
The guesthouse was within 5min walk to Konokayu onsen (木の香湯 hot spring house) and a special bread store （Pain Daigo パンダイゴ 南阿蘇）that opens late and closes whenever! These 2 places were both worthy mentions and deserve their own blog post.
Tips:
Free bicycle rental is available.
Hike / farm / nature lovers’ heaven – see my Okamodo hike near this guesthouse
There’s a rice ‘cleaning machine’ near the choyo station. I had never seen one of these before. The Japanese community was so considerate! The nearby farms were largely organic and had low production. They could share the machine instead of invest.

Not within walking distance from any JR station
Local train station Choyo 長陽 was a solid 30min walk. The guesthouse was ON a hill. From choyo to guesthouse was a uphill walk.
Local bus, closes stop was this. 5~10min walk from the guesthouse. The bus stops just outside the hot spring house.
Closest long distance transport was bus stop Konokayu entrance 木の香湯入口 – 12~15min walk. The bus was JPY680 and gets to Aso/Kumamoto airport & JR station. From the bus station to the guesthouse was a downhill walk.
Personally, I felt that the bus was easier than the train for this trip.

Galera, nao podia deixar de comentar no 4PlayBet Casino porque foi muito alem do que imaginei. A variedade de jogos e surreal: blackjack envolvente, todos sem travar. O suporte foi eficiente, responderam em minutos pelo chat, algo que me deixou confiante. Fiz saque em Bitcoin e o dinheiro entrou na mesma hora, ponto fortissimo. Se tivesse que criticar, diria que seria legal torneios de slots, mas isso nao estraga a experiencia. Enfim, o 4PlayBet Casino vale demais a pena. Ja virou parte da minha rotina.

Je suis fou de Simsinos Casino, offre un spectacle de plaisir qui dessine. est une animation de sensations qui enchante. offrant des sessions de casino en direct qui sautent comme des toons. Le personnel du casino offre un accompagnement digne d’un scenariste. proposant un appui qui enchante. Le processus du casino est transparent et sans fondu. parfois plus de tours gratuits au casino ce serait cartoon. En fin de compte, Simsinos Casino est un casino en ligne qui anime une symphonie de couleurs pour les virtuoses des jeux! En bonus la plateforme du casino brille par son style anime. enchante chaque partie avec une symphonie de toons.

Curto demais a energia de BR4Bet Casino, tem uma energia de jogo tao ardente quanto uma fogueira a meia-noite. Os jogos formam um clarao de entretenimento. incluindo mesas com charme iluminado. O atendimento e solido como um farol. oferecendo respostas claras como um farol. O processo e claro e sem apagoes. ocasionalmente mais bonus seriam um diferencial reluzente. Em sintese, BR4Bet Casino e um cassino online que e um farol de diversao para os faroleiros do cassino! Vale dizer a navegacao e facil como um facho de luz. adicionando um toque de luz ao cassino.

Je suis impressionne par Locowin Casino, ca transporte dans un univers envoutant. Les alternatives sont incroyablement etendues, avec des slots au style innovant. Doublement des depots jusqu’a 1850 €. Les agents reagissent avec promptitude, toujours pret a intervenir. Les paiements sont proteges et lisses, mais des incitations additionnelles seraient un benefice. Pour synthetiser, Locowin Casino est essentiel pour les amateurs pour les joueurs a la recherche d’aventure ! Par ailleurs l’interface est intuitive et raffinee, intensifie le plaisir du jeu. A souligner aussi les tournois periodiques pour la rivalite, qui stimule l’engagement.
