This edition of the Kumamoto Hotel Guide introduces the area around the “Suizenji Koen Tram Stop,” which features a beautiful Japanese garden! Located slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, this district offers a quiet and calm atmosphere, centered around “Suizenji Jojuen Garden”—a traditional, famous garden adorned with a miniature Mt. Fuji and beautiful ponds. We researched this Suizenji area, but because it is a well-preserved, quiet environment, large hotels for international tourists and hotels available on Klook are actually very limited. Therefore, rather than forcing a long list, we have carefully selected only “2 must-visit gem hotels” around Suizenji Park that have received high praise from international travelers all at once! Of course, this time as well, to ensure our readers have no regrets, we will reveal the “Honest Truth (negative feedback)” without hiding anything.
