Popular Minamioguni 4-star Hotels

The hotel is located at the centre of 黑川溫泉區, which is quite rural so highly recommended to go by car. The service is excellent! The staff helped us to park the car and take the luggages up the stairs to our Japanese style family room. We have ordered full board package and both meals are gorgeous. There are many onsens in the hotel which are non-reserved and private, allowing family to enjoy onsen together. One drawback is that there are many stairs so elderly might have to take it into consideration.

Very pleasant impressions from staying in this place. Spacious and clean rooms in a traditional style with a view of the river. Very tasty dinner and breakfast (you can choose Western). Family baths are not very big, it is comfortable for two people, if there are three or four of you - it will be cramped. From the ryokan we were driven by car to the bus stop, which was very convenient considering our heavy suitcases.

Very good Japanese hot spring hotel, but there are too few comments to refer to. Here is my real feeling 1. The price of the room with hot spring is a bit expensive, but it is really convenient. You don't have to walk around. It's so cold. The hot spring is very comfortable and the price is good. 2. It includes Kaiseki dinner and exquisite breakfast (both cost-effective). When you arrive at the hotel, the staff will ask about the meal time and arrange it very well. All seats are designated and very private. 3. If you want to go from Kurokawa Onsen to Hakata, remember to book tickets online in advance. We asked the staff to help us book tickets when we arrived at the hotel. It would be embarrassing if we couldn't book them. The hotel has a shuttle bus to the bus station, which is very considerate. 4. There is an old man who can speak English at the front desk. He is very good, very responsible, and the communication is very smooth. 5. The hotel has a shuttle bus to the hot spring street 6. For guests who have made reservations, the hotel has someone to meet you in the parking lot and confirm your name. 7. Slippers will be given according to the room. Put the corresponding tag in the slippers every time you go in and out to avoid the embarrassment of not having slippers. 8. Many private baths require reservations, otherwise there will be no available baths if you go there at the last minute. I wrote so much because I found out there were many things I didn’t know when I got there, so I hope to give useful information to those who are going there, and I’ll be happy if it helps.

Kurokawa Onsen is a hot spring town near Aso. It has many hot spring hotels and some of them have a long history. Relatively speaking, the hot spring facilities are also a bit old. I was a little worried about this trip, but after arriving, Kurokawa Ryokan Kurokawaso made me very satisfied in all aspects. Ctrip's customer service was very considerate and helped me make an appointment for the hotel pick-up. You should know that the hotel is a bit far from the center of the town and the station, especially if you are carrying two large suitcases. There was a pick-up person waiting as soon as the car arrived at the station. Arrived at the hotel. Patiently waited for 3 o'clock to check in. Can't wait to experience the hot spring first. The hot spring pool looks clean and the facilities are intact. This time, a total of 2 different room types were booked. There are no bathing facilities in the rooms of the main building, but it is not far from the hot spring. Very convenient. The rooms in the annex are Western-style rooms. It is a bit far from the main building, but you don't have to sleep on tatami, which is convenient for getting up and lying down. What's even better is that there is a hot spring pool in the room, one indoor and one outdoor. If you are a couple or a couple, you don't have to go to the men's and women's hot springs separately. Of course, the hotel also has a private family bath that can be reserved for one hour each time. In general, Kurokawa-so is a relatively niche attraction with only 2-3 buses arriving every day, but it is indeed a hot spring resort. If you like to take a hot spring bath, you can also buy a hot spring hand shape to experience the hot springs of 3 different hotels and experience the different ingredients and therapeutic effects. Kurokawa-so is a very good choice. I am very satisfied with this trip!

Stayed for two nights, breakfast and dinner were not the same. By car, there is free parking. Stargazing at night, the sky is full of stars, see Orion, Big Dipper, Gemini and so on. There are not many hotel rooms and they are not open to the public. The three family soup rooms can basically be enjoyed, and each has a private soup for men and women, divided into outdoor and indoor. Drive to Kurokawa Onsen for 7 minutes and drive to Aso Volcano for 1 hour. Unfortunately, Aso volcano is still in a dangerous period from 2019 to the present.

When we checked in, we were greeted and served with a welcome dessert and Japanese tea. The room was big in Japanese context with a split-level design and a courtyard. The room has all the amenities you would expect. We liked the settings of the ”talking room”, in which light music was played in the background. There are also coffee and tea available in the ”talking room”. Breakfast and dinner were truly delicious. Perhaps, the only downside is that the size of the onsen hot tub in the room is a bit small.

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!!! 😍😍😍 Hidden location, excellent services, private onsen and public onsen experience, good food and prefect dining experience😍😍😍

I truly enjoyed my stay at Yamamizuki. I wish I had stay for another night. Service from everyone there was heartwarming. Room was clean and spacious. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Not to mention the huge open air onsen was the best of all. The onsen was by the creek. Be careful the temperature was quite high. They have English speaking staff. Only one little thing. There seemed to be a shortage of towels (?). I accidentally got my large bath towel wet and would like to exchange another one. However, I was told to hang the towel dry because each guest can only have one bath towel. I just thought hotels in general have lots of towels. It’s not a big deal though. I’d suggest to bring at least one of your own large bath towels to Kurokawa Onsen. I believe this is one of the best onsens in Kurokawa. I’d love to come again during autumn!

This is a small hotel located on the mountain in the Kurokawa Hot Spring area. The environment is quiet and the creek next to the hotel is beautiful. It is convenient for self-driving tours. There are only 8 rooms in the entire hotel, including 6 cabin-style rooms and 2 rooms in the main building. - There are rooms with open-air hot springs and indoor hot spring baths: 3 rooms in total - Rooms with open-air hot spring baths: 3 rooms in total - Rooms with indoor hot spring baths: 2 rooms in total When we booked the room, because the rooms with open-air hot spring baths were fully booked, we could only book rooms with indoor hot spring baths. Although the hot springs did not have outdoor views, the hot spring pools were very large, and both of us could still soak in them. Large space; the hot spring water has a strong sulfur smell and is hot enough to feel comfortable. Since each room has a private bath, there are no other people in the public baths. The staff has a very good attitude and is very polite from reception, introducing room facilities and serving meals. Breakfast and dinner are served in a private room, and sukiyaki is also available for dinner. The wagyu beef is very tender and melts in your mouth. In addition to sukiyaki, the sashimi and horse sashimi are also very fresh and delicious, making you very filling. The exquisite presentation of the breakfast will whet your appetite. Before leaving, the receptionist offered to take photos for us at the main entrance of the hotel, great! However, if I come to Kurokawa Onsen in winter to see the Kurokawa Onsen Yumei (the famous local light festival), I will choose to stay in a hotel near the visitor center, because it takes 8 hours to drive out from Onyuku Nohana to see the Kurokawa Onsen Yumei. The driving time is 30 minutes. Driving on a narrow mountain road is often dangerous when opposing vehicles have to back up to give way to each other.

Transportation) If you write a pickup request in the memo, they will pick you up at the information center or bus stop! Accommodation) I stayed in the main building, and it was clean and had a charming traditional feel! There were not many people on the day we stayed, so we used it like a private bath, and there were men's and women's baths, 2 family baths, and a mixed bath. It felt like we had a villa with a hot spring hidden in the forest, so my friend and I were very satisfied. ＞＜ Kaiseki) They also served local specialties such as seasonal vegetable tempura and horse meat sashimi, and they gave us enough for a woman. The horse meat and plum wine were so delicious that I remember them. + I checked out without even knowing that I had left my jacket on a hanger, but I was grateful that they found the store we were in and went to find it. ㅠㅜ
