Romantic Hotels in Minamioguni

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 satisfied, the service attitude is very good, the room is very clean. Dinner and breakfast were both very generous. There are very few people in the hot springs and they are usually reserved. There is also a 24-hour private soup. The hotel will also thoughtfully send you to the bus stop. Better than I imagined.

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.

Shenshan Villa is an excellent hot spring hotel. The room is beautiful and comfortable, and it also comes with an outdoor hot spring, so you can relax and enjoy the view. Breakfast and dinner provide a rich variety of cuisine, allowing you to taste a variety of delicious food. The most surprising thing is that all this is affordable, allowing you to enjoy a first-class experience at a reasonable price. Overall, Shenshan Villa is an excellent choice, whether you are looking for relaxation, good food or affordable accommodation, this place can meet your needs.

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.

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.
