The house itself was very nice and spacious. The common areas were pretty and clean. There was a large window overlooking some woods and a stream which was quite nice to sit in front of.

A very beautiful Onsen with amazing staff! They really make you feel very welcome and very special. The staff would always catch up for a chat and went out of their way to give us little extras on many occasions!

There's pick-up service from the nearby bus station. The service is very good, they even helped to keep your shoes. The view from the room is very nice, and the room is spacious and comfortable.

We arrived by car and the staff was already waiting at the entrance to help carry our luggage into the ryokan. We were greeted by another staff and given a tour around the ryokan, before showing us our room. We booked the one with a private onsen bath, but there were also public indoor and outdoor baths. By 6pm we went to the dinner which is a kaiseki-ryōri, the meal was exquisite and delicious. The same goes for the breakfast next morning. We visited in mid-December and there was a light snow in the morning. It was an amazing experience to bath in the outdoor onsen in the snow!

Boasting spacious indoor and outdoor hot spring baths surrounded by lush greenery, Ryokan Wakaba provides Japanese-style accommodation in the peaceful mountain area.

Service was excellent, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Both dinner and breakfast were exceptionally delicious, wide variety of dishes and we were very full after both meals. Private onsen inside the room was spacious and clean. the room itself was generously large too. Out of all the ryokans I have stayed in Japan, this room was one of the largest. The ryokan is located just a 5 min walk to the main area where you can see the lanterns illuminate at night. Highly recommended!

Boasting 6 different hot spring baths, Kurokawa-So is a traditional ryokan accommodation nestled in a tranquil valley along the river.

The private onsen was an absolute delight. The in-room dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The hotel serene autumn surroundings was relaxing.

Located in the Kurokawa hot-spring area, Yamabiko Ryokan offers public indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths and some rooms with mountain or river views.

This ryokan is exceptional. From the decor to the facilities to the friendliness of the general staff we felt welcomed and relaxed throughout. We had planned to visit other onsen ryokan on our visit to Kurokawa but quickly realised that we didn’t need to - it was all right here. There are 6 private unique baths on top of the excellent rotenburo (men’s and women’s outdoor pools separate but alternate each day) and with our limited time in Kurokawa (one night only) we were able to make use of 4 of the private baths and both of the rotenburo (one on each of the days). A great feature was the no booking system for the private baths - it was first come first serve but there were lights that showed you which was occupied. Even better, there was a screen on the tv in your room which told you which were occupied so you could plan which one to go to before you headed down. There was also public indoor baths but we didn’t have time to utilise these. Our kids (ages 11 and 15) enjoy the table tennis and the massage chairs as well as the baths. The views over the river from our room were beautiful especially at night with the illuminations in the river downstream from the bridge easily visible. We really enjoyed the food though some of the selections were a bit too challenging for the kids. Surprisingly though they both enjoyed the horse-meat sashimi!

Located 42 km from Mount Aso, Rakuten STAY VILLA Aso Kurokawa offers accommodation with a balcony, as well as a garden and a shared lounge.

The rooms and area of this amazing ryokan tie up with the photos depicted. Great room with our own outdoor private onsen. Make sure to check out their communal onsen (amazing outdoor two-tier onsen with great Japanese garden scenery). The food was great too, two chefs (Kenjo and Keiji) who specialize in French and Japanese cuisine concocted a harmoneous fusion kaiseki dinner every night with fresh local ingredients. Truly a unexpected highlight of our stay was the food (both dinner and breakfast were great) and we would highly recommend booking for the full board stay. The ryokan was also family friendly we travelled with grandparents and a 7 month old baby staying in 2 rooms. It was a great serene and tranquil stay and we enjoyed our stay tremendously.
