Kamenoi Hotel Aso

"We had a great time at the hotel. It is very quiet and the location is amazing. We really enjoyed the buffet dinner and breakfast and the onsen was a great way to start and end the day!

We even considered extending our stay but couldn’t because of other plans. Highly recommended for a relaxing time."
