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.

Je suis epate par Ruby Slots Casino, il offre une experience dynamique. La selection de jeux est impressionnante, incluant des options de paris sportifs dynamiques. Il donne un elan excitant. Disponible 24/7 pour toute question. Le processus est transparent et rapide, en revanche des recompenses en plus seraient un bonus. Globalement, Ruby Slots Casino assure un fun constant. A mentionner le design est moderne et attrayant, booste le fun du jeu. Egalement top les evenements communautaires vibrants, renforce la communaute.
