"Just a short walk from the treasured Kumamoto Castle is the stunning Ref Kumamoto, informed by modernist design and a traditional Japanese sense of the beauty in empty space. This is the predominant atmosphere in guest rooms, where muted off-white and wood tones make for unfussy yet elegant accommodations. Though available in a variety of floor plans, only the premium suite features its own private onsen bath. The majority of guests will enjoy the public baths in this renowned center of hot spring onsen, featuring a number of exquisitely crafted tubs set in a serene environment adjacent to a lovingly maintained garden. A number of local specialties are available for dining here; a unique highlight is the opportunity for guests to grill their own Aka beef burgers on a personal stone grill." - Tablet Hotels
