Aso Base Backpackers Reviews

The only hostel located in the vicinity of Aso station. Great as a base for exploring Aso area. Amenities are good (kitchen / hot shower / toilets / sockets&light for each bed but no curtains). The car park area is not well-paved (small rocks like in most Japanese temples) and the staircase is a bit steep.

This place is beautifully furnished and built. I wished I could have stayed longer. When I booked, I thought it was the typical dorm you'd find in Japan, but it was more like a chill ryokan

Nice service and the facilities are quite good and clean. The location is very near to the bus station.

Perfect location to hike in the volcano, even to go to Kuju Mountains. The place is clean, cozy and quite.

The room, shower room and toilet room are clean and comfortable, but the smell of the entrance room(where guests put their shoes) is horrible! I had to rush, holding my breath, when I passed through it.

They serve Chinese, yellow people exclusively bad. Well, glad to know their real face. ****!

Very good

The place was clean and the cleaning was excellent! I'd like to use it again. The kitchen utensils were also clean! I think people staying here should bring pocket tissues with them.

There was a roadside station and a convenience store nearby, so it was clean and convenient. You could see the stars from the balcony on the second floor, and it was a very nice facility.

It was my first time staying in a mixed dormitory bed in Japan, and the experience was very good. The room was well designed, with lockable luggage space under the bed (locks are available for loan at the front desk), the toilet and shower area were clean and tidy, and the public area was warm and comfortable. I met many interesting people, and it was very happy to sit together and chat in the evening.

There is a hot spring (with sauna), convenience store and restaurants nearby, so it's in a convenient location and the toilets are kept clean. It's unfortunate that the power outlets are low and there is only one outlet on the bunk beds, and security is lacking.

The location is good, it is convenient to rent a car, the staff are smiling, and they all have helpers to carry the luggage upstairs. I am satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied.

It's about three or four minutes' walk from Aso Station. It's run by a Korean couple. The house is big, with three or four shared beds and six double rooms. There are three toilets and four showers upstairs. There's also a hot spring nearby. It's 300 yen per person. The public space is also very comfortable. You can cook. Especially the luggage storage area can be self-serviced in advance. But the only bad thing is the entrance. The shoes are too smelly.
