We stayed at the Kamenoi Hotel Aso for two nights while visiting family in the area. We are from the US and found the hotel to have great amenities and many food options. The onsen was also very nice. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel and fabulous view from the room. Delicious breakfast and dinner buffet. The entire hotel is pretty accessible, I guess, because of the ageing population? Onsen facilities really need some updates as that was what I was most looking forward to but unfortunately. I wonder if the jet spa was designed for disabled guests as you either have to kneel or squat to use it. There’s no sauna in Onsen, which is my thing, and a couple of areas are not in use. I wonder if they used to be sauna or steam room.

Nice buffet dinner and breakfast

It provides a good Japanese hospitality as usual. The buffet breakfast and dinner are good (we shouldn't book them for both nights as we were just too full after the first night). The hotel could invest in renewing some of its facility but it was still a pleasant stay. My only complaint is that the breakfast finishes at 9am which is far too early for European guests.

Staff were great and attentive, nice little fruit farm close by. But hotel is a bit isolated so need to drive out to go elsewhere. Had a bit of kids toys you can borrow to play both indoor and outdoor that the kids loved!

Room was a bit tight for 4 people. Normally the beds are prepared for sleeping at the end of the day but it was not the case in this hotel. Dinner and breakfast were good- big spread and delicious.

Hmmmmm….

Hotel sits on lovely grounds, with the mountain ranges as a back drop. Parking is a breeze. The rooms are really basic and the in-room bathroom is tired and not well maintained. Availability of games, grounds makes it more suitable for young families

Hidden gem near Mount Asi

Fantastic stay at hotel kamenoi with the panoramic view of the mount aso greeting us every morning and star gazing at night. My kids absolutely love the huge grass patch and the myriad of toys, sports equipment like baseball, curve ball and soccer balls to keep them occupied. The outdoor onsen is a must try. Definitely recommend this hotel to fellow travellers

Nice Mountain View but too expensive.

Rooms were spacious and clean but pillows were too soft. Buffet breakfast supposed to end at 9am, was very disappointed there was no more salmon when I went down at around 8.15am and the staff did not replenish food items that ran out. Overall, both breakfast and dinner buffet spread were mediocre considering the high price. Staff were not extremely warm and hospitable for Japanese standard.
