Only a 2-minute walk from Senbabashi Train Station, Dyeing and Hostel Nakashimaya is a female only property that offers affordable accommodations with free Wi-Fi. Guests can enjoy views of Kumamoto Castle from the balcony and experience traditional tie-dyeing activities. JR Kumamoto Train Station is a 20-minute walk away.

I was using the SunQ bus pass, and this hostel was about a 7 min walk from the bus terminal. I arrived before check-in and was able to drop off my luggage so I could sightsee. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. The hostel is beautifully decorated and very clean. The goldfish in the entryway are stunning. I had a private room with plenty of space for my luggage and futon. The room has an AC/ heater unit and a small table, too. There are bathrooms downstairs and upstairs, and the shower is spacious and clean. I used the upstairs lounge room to relax and chat with another hostel guest. There are A LOT of manga there, but I didn't have a chance to read any. I briefly went to the roof in the rain to see the castle lit up. I didn't have a chance to do laundry or use the kitchen, but everything was neat and easily accessible. I had to leave very early the next morning, and self checkout was easy. I felt at home and very safe staying here, and I can't wait to visit again. The pictures are of the goldfish in the entrance and some sakura on the walk to the bus station.

    Warm and friendly towards every guests. Unlike other hostels, as long as you take the initiative, you get to know more about the locals staying in Kumamoto here through their frequent gatherings over the dinner time and they always welcome you. They even organised a takoyaki party for me and taught me how to cook it. Also inviting to join the bamboo shoot harvest! What a real experience that I appreciate so much! Highly recommended! Thanks!

    You come here for the price and you fall for the design. Smart contemporary Japanese beloved by both locals and aliens. The cafe and its quite large terrace are nice, and the locker room for your suitcase is a good idea indeed. Last but not least, location is better than good.

    The host family running this place is amazing. They are usually spending time in the lounge room and will provide you a beer or good homemade Korean food if you ask for with decent prices. Also there's a dinner party every Saturday which was a great experience! The location of the hostel is very central.
