Monthly Rentals in Gokase, Nishiusuki District

The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a floor-to-ceiling window with great views, so you can enjoy the view of Mount Aso while having breakfast, it's amazing!

The place was very cozy and spacious. I love the living room connected to the backyard. It's decorated with wood and with a hammock which was loved by the kids as well. It was cloudy and we're out of the Sakura season otherwise the view towards the backyard will be even better! It's close to the Shirakawa Spring which is a small but scenic spot. They host was very responsive and provided useful advice about Mount Aso. Highly recommended if you're visiting Aso!

I stayed at Makiko’s house with three friends, and we had a truly wonderful experience. The house looks exactly as described — cozy, clean, and full of charm. It’s located in a quiet, peaceful residential area and has a beautiful garden where two adorable dogs live. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of animals — the dogs stay in a separate area and won’t enter your rooms, so you can relax comfortably. The location is also perfect — it’s just about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute walk to Kumamoto Castle and the city center. Kumamoto Castle is absolutely breathtaking — it’s massive, rich in history, and unlike anything you’ll see elsewhere. It’s definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in the area. Makiko is a wonderful host — incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and quick to respond to any questions. She made sure our stay was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. If I ever have the chance to visit Kumamoto again, I would definitely love to stay at Makiko’s house once more. Highly recomme

Our stay with Kaoru-san and her wonderful family was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay, always available to answer questions, recommendations and provide assistance whenever needed. The location was a peaceful haven that allowed us to truly unwind and relax. Waking up to the serene surroundings each morning and with home cooked, delicious breakfast set the perfect tone for our days. One of the highlights was definitely the amazing food! Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared by Kaoru-san - a real treat for the taste buds. Whether it was local specialties or comfort classics, each meal was exceptional. As vegetarians, these meals have by far been the best dining experience throughout our weeks in Japan. Thank you for a lovely stay!
