Hotel R9 the Yard Kikuchi ★★★

"Pros: Refrigerator with freezer, microwave (Not common in other business hotels) Notes: Doesn't have an auto-lock, so be careful to lock the door ⚠️"

Iwakura ★★

"The private semi-open-air bath is a must-have! The environment is beautiful, built along the stream, and the facilities are mainly made of natural wood products, flowers and plants, and are antique. The rooms are functionally spaced and equipped with a private semi-open-air bath. The accommodation and two meals are very delicious. If you plan to visit Kikuchi Valley, it is definitely the best choice!"

Kikuchi Sasanoya ★★

"The building is old, but it was clean and comfortable! The staff were kind, and the breakfast was so plentiful I couldn't finish it all. There was a footbath, and the large public bath had a big hot spring and an open-air bath. I would like to stay here again."

Hotel Kona ★★★

"Just a cheap place to sleep. No explanations, no service whatsoever. Amenities were the absolute bare minimum; I really wished for a towel, or at least for them to have mentioned that none would be provided. The first thing I noticed when I entered the room was a strange smell."

Seiryuso ★★★

"The hotel is incredibly accessible and very clean! The staff are also incredibly friendly! I chose this hotel because of the large public bath on the third floor, and I'm absolutely delighted. Parking is available at one of the three affiliated parking lots for just 1,200 yen per day! Perhaps because it's relatively new, the accommodations are in excellent condition!"

Mochizuki Ryokan ★★★

"I was so glad our room had an open-air bath!"

Shiroyamaso ★★

Kikuchi Kanko Hotel ★★★

"I was so glad I could stay there for such a low price. The service was amazing, with a welcome drink, oden (Japanese stew), all-you-can-eat crab and all-you-can-drink alcohol at dinner. Above all, the quality of the hot spring was excellent; it was smooth, soft, and lukewarm, so I could soak for a long time and it felt great. However, the food was so-so, the room was old and the futon mattress was thin and hurt my back. But for this price, it was acceptable. I would like to go again."

Kikuchi Onsen Houraikan ★★

"Lovely owner and nice environment. Easy to get to kikuchi gorge which is a hidden gem for hiking."
