Find 4-Star 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 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.

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♡)

We chartered a car, and the Shanhe Japanese Hotel was generally good. I booked two four-person rooms (with indoor hot springs), one on the second floor next to the main building, and one on the first floor of a stand-alone building opposite the main building. The hotel food is not suitable for Chinese tastes (horse meat sashimi, etc.), but the hot spring is very elegant. I didn't get the six-foot barrel I wanted, but the soup in the room and the public open-air bath were pleasant.

A first-class accommodation experience! Because the hotel is far away, the hotel arranges a shuttle bus to pick up and drop off at the station between 15:00 and 18:00. The journey takes 5-10 minutes, which is very convenient. Guests staying in the hotel in the afternoon will receive matcha and desserts. I appreciated the receptionist's very good attitude. Even if I didn't understand the language, the receptionist used a translation app to patiently answer my questions. She also carefully booked a taxi for me to go elsewhere, and made a reservation for dinner at a restaurant near the attraction that was still open at night. The hotel is very clean and tidy, allowing travelers to rest at ease. The facilities and equipment are very complete, including open-air baths with beautiful views, public indoor baths, and private baths with exquisite garden views. During your stay, you can completely relax and unwind. The breakfast the next day was exquisite, rich and delicious. Along with the prepared meals, there are small pots for diners to make their own omelettes for smoking. The meal is accompanied by delicious desserts, juice and coffee, which is a complete experience. When leaving, the hotel also arranges a shuttle bus to take you to the station to continue your journey. The clerk who appreciated the reception kindly walked to the car to see me off. It made me feel that I was well received and felt very warm. If given the chance, I will choose this hotel to stay again next time! 

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!

Although it was a pet-friendly room, I didn't smell any pet odor the moment I entered the room, and it seemed clean and well-cleaned. The buildings are a certain distance apart, so I was able to relax without hearing the voices or presence of people in other rooms. A plus point is that you can freely use the sauna and hot spring! Please note that the directions from the Kurokawa Onsen hot spring area require you to go through a very narrow road at the end.

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.

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