I love this camp.
the location is easy to travel to any other tourist spot , it is on the opposit conor of aso station, there is Lawson on the opposit as well. The camp is lovely both interior or exterior, the living room, the toilet, the shower are clean, the kitchen is lovely you can cook but you have ro clean them by yourself. The room are cheap but very clean.the staff are so nice.
If I visit aso I will stay at this hotel again.

A great hostel, in a perfect location for exploring the Aso region. The hostel is really nice and comfortable and very well kept. I ended up extending my stay when I realised I could also take the bus from Ask to Takachiho gorge and back (¥6,000 return). It’s a great base for exploring the area and the hosts are very kind

Read all reviews carefully before booking.
Believe me, this is not the standard in Japan. Dormitory rooms have no door (only curtains) so there is no point in "female only" rooms. The beds have no curtains. Male staff enter rooms suddenly because knocking is not possible. Male guests also come in unconsciously. Three dorm rooms are in a small area without doors... if one person snores, everyone hears it.
Even though there was plenty of space next to the bed, every time the staff entered the room, they moved my luggage without asking and blocked the locker under the bed. No bed or ladder beyond my bed, no one walks there. When I left my wet folding umbrella open just a little bit
to dry, they closed it while it was still wet, and they placed it right next to my luggage. I didn't think the staff was doing this, but they admitted it.
Please look at the attached photos: I put my luggage like the first one, away from the locker. They say "Your luggage is in the middle of the room, blocking the walkway", and they moved my luggage to the opposite side, blocking the locker. This made the same amount of walking space as where I chose to put my luggage.

Aso Base is more than the usual backpackers hostel. I think it's like a boutique guesthouse. We spent an enjoyable 4 nights there. The owners are friendly and helpful. The facilities are spotless. The communal area downstairs has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable area for meals, reading etc. On the cold days we were there a log fire was made to warm us up! The bedrooms are comfortable and the communal showers/toilets are kept very clean. Adequate so never any waiting for a place. We also appreciated the discount tickets to the nearby Onsen. This is a great place at good value to stay in Aso.

The place is great but two things could be improved:
1. Modern hostels provide curtains for each bed in the dorm for privacy. It would be easy to install them
2. Owner are really strict on everything, with lots of rules for everything, people feel observed at all times. Easing it would make the atmosphere much more pleasant and friendly

Beautiful living room and lots of helpful information on Aso and the nearby regions. Would recommend to stay there for at least for a few days as it is worth it. The dorm rooms have comfortable beds and basic amenities. The headspace for dorm beds is high, I can actually sit upright without bumping my head. Bathrooms are extremely clean and they have a full kitchen and common area with games, cards, and a really warm wood stove. Go for a soak at the onsen across the street after a long day at Aso, you can get a discount if you purchase a ticket directly from the hostel.
