The Koko Hotel was our favorite place to stay in Japan. The room was styled nicely and clean. It was the perfect location in Kumamoto - shopping and food were in the complex downstairs. Kumamoto Castle was a very short walk. The hotel buffett was amazing and reasonably priced.

This hotel was a tram ride from JR Kumamoto station and located inside the Sakuramachi shopping mall. Fairly new, but very clean and generous with provision of amenities. Room was small though but has a nice view of the castle.

3 night stay

We had a nice stay at Koko hotel. The hotel is conveniently located to transit access and on top of a mall. Walking distance to the castle. Lots of food options and shopping. The room was spacious and quiet. We did not spend much time in the room as we used Kumamoto as a home base for day trips. We would stay here again and recommend to others

Excellent location at the bus station. Walkable to Kumamoto castle; we could actually see it from our room! As with other Japanese hotels, toiletries were provided but this hotel went the extra mile - there were bath salts as well as hair serum capsules. So thoughtful!
