Romantic Hotels in Minamioguni

I wanted to hide from the crowds of tourists and feel as close to nature as possible. The place is simply magnificent, the location of the ryokan is generally ideal. There is a magnificent view from the window, the sound of the water is very relaxing! A huge plus was the presence of 3 shared onsen (family bath) which did not need to be reserved! Just come and take the ones that are free (They are open 24/7)! In general, the topic of hot springs in this ryokan is a hotel conversation, the temperature is pleasant. 2 open-air onsen (very beautiful with different themes), 2 closed onsen (open 24/7) and 3 shared (private onsen) Kaiseki (dinner/breakfast) was magnificent, we spent 2 hours for dinner and 1 hour for breakfast. There was a lot of food, varied and interesting. Everything was incredibly delicious! In general, we were fed there with: The staff is very polite, they will help, explain, speak English. We asked to leave our things before leaving because we still had a lot of time before the bus and the staff kindly agreed! Thank them again! In general, it was a wonderful trip and a very beautiful place! In the evening, if you are in season, they light the lights on the river and it becomes completely magical!

Fantastic ryokan experience. This ryokan has many separate onsens. Staff are proficient in English. We stayed at Annex building with more privacy and private onsen. But public onsens have many choices and would keep you busy to try them selectively. The beds are comfortable too.

Last week, I stayed at Kurowakaso for one night~~! First of all, I really, really recommend it👍🏻 Go there a hundred, ten thousand, and a thousand and five hundred times!! The staff are very kind, and the hot spring facilities and room condition are the best! I was able to try on traditional Japanese clothes, and the food was especially the best! The food was really good, and they gave me so much food that I almost burst😂 I was lucky that my group and I were the only ones in the family bath and large bath, so I took pictures, but the hot spring for guests only is also amazing! It was a good memory~ A lot of Korean tourists are going to Kumamoto these days, so if you're thinking about visiting a hot spring, I recommend this place👻 (By the way, there's a staff member who speaks Korean really well♡)

Amazing stay! All staffs are super friendly, always giving me some help. Incredible hot springs & meals. Also you can use Miyama Sansou’s hot spring because it is sister ryokan of Yamamizuki. Very traditional and well equipped ryokan. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

Although it is far from the center of hot spring village, you can provide Songying service! On the contrary, it is quiet and simple, so the surrounding scenery is very beautiful! I wanted to see the baby carri in the evening, but thank you for taking me! The meal was clean and nice. The menu was constantly coming out and I was so full! There are amenities and bath products after the hot springs. The water was clean too! At first it was so hot that I couldn't even get my feet on it, but it was okay because it was hot as I got used to it! The day I went, it snowed all the buses I had booked were canceled, but the next day I took me to the station and I was able to feel the warm feelings for 2 days and 1 night. It's really kind and angel-like. Gogo will be memorable !!
