Arden Hotel Aso

The location is very good, it is very convenient to go to Aso Volcano in the morning! There are plenty of parking spaces, which is very good for self-driving tours. The rooms are relatively Japanese-style and old, but clean! The room is very spacious and there is also a hot spring to soak in! There are both outdoor and indoor facilities, so it’s very suitable to reserve time to soak in the hot springs.

The layout of the entire hotel is more Japanese-style, but due to some cracks in the walls of the room, it looks a bit dilapidated. There is no power outlet near the bed, so it is extremely inconvenient to power the device away from the room. But there are several features of this hotel. The first is that dinner is Kaiseki cuisine. Anyone who needs to take off their shoes to enter the tatami will be assigned a seat by the staff to experience Japanese culture. The second is the open-air hot springs, which are open for a long time, allowing you to further the hot spring experience. Of course, there are also indoor hot springs. The last point is what I discovered when I went up to Aso Volcano. The hotel seems to have a bus that can go up to the volcano, but I only recognized the name of the hotel and it is not confirmed. Please help me confirm it. Although I don't have a good impression of this hotel, I can definitely try it at this price to experience kaiseki cuisine and open-air hot springs.

I used a tatami room, and I could see Mt. Aso in the distance, the well-manicured garden was nice, the hot spring facilities were good, and most of all, the dinner was delicious.

The room is a bit small, but quite clean. The hot spring in the hotel, which is close to the room, faces the lake view and is very beautiful and comfortable. You have to walk a very dark road to get to the other hot springs at night. It feels a bit dangerous for girls to walk there, so it is recommended to install some street lights. There isn't much to eat at breakfast and it's a bit expensive. Dinner was ok.

There are two places for hot springs. The big one is about 100 meters away. It’s really cold in winter. It’s very big inside, but you can’t appreciate it because the water vapor and smoke are very strong, and there are a lot of people, because there are also hot springs there. Day return. Another hot spring is less, it is inside the hotel. Neither of them have lockers for guests, and the key to the room is a bit uneasy.

There is the sea outside the window, it is beautiful
