Suberb ryokan, old-style and stylish. Excellent service. On top of your own onsen (in our room), there were very lovely common onsens for women and men separately. The Kaiseki dinner was very good.

Food was awesome and they were accomodating towards our preferences. The futons were extremely fluffy and comfortable. We had the river room and the spacious room and amazing view was phenomenal. Super memorable stay with super attentive and friendly staff. The baths were fun and had great history to them. I think it's a sodium chloride spring with some sulfur content for the most part and I think there's another spring that's slightly different. They also swap around the baths morning/evening so that the guests can enjoy different ones!

The food was amazing - traditional Japanese style but on a fancy side. The place had everything needed there. There was hot water all the time, room had private toilet and sink. We loved kotatsu, as the day was cold and it was pleasant to sit around it and get warm. All the staff were amazing, very helpful, very polite and professional. The onsen was also great, it is simple onsen and there are 4 private rooms to choose from. Water was just perfect.

The place, the service, the staff, the atmosphere, the baths... everything is wonderful. When visiting Japan, spending a day in an onsen village is a must! And Kurokawa Onsen is the best place.

Yamabiko Ryokan is genuinely one of the very best i've been to. They have many in-house private onsen which is lockable) to give more privacy which is a bonus. Their public onsen is just amazingly relaxing and scenic. To top it off, both lunch & dinner are absolutely delicious with impeccable service. Truly a memorable and unforgettable experience, as an ryokan should be.

Shinmeikan is a truly amazing ryokan/ onsen. The whole building just oozes authenticity. Great tatami style rooms overlooking the river, super friendly staff who will help you with all your needs. Great onsen baths, especially the cave bad is spectacular. Dinner and breakfast are equally high quality and display a variety of Japanese cuisine. Absolute perfect place if you want to experience traditional Japanese onsen style ryokan.

This is not your typical ryokan but a modern one where nobody will wake you up at 7am for breakfast. Here, you can (almost) sleep as you please. 9 bungalows for 9 rooms. Each room has its own private onsen, one indoor and the other outdoor, in addition to the bigger "public" one. Staff is great. Dinner is superb, and so is breakfast. It's far, a bit remote but you must go for a peaceful and very charming moment.

A really great ryokan, the strong point was definitely the onsen ! 2 indoors baths, 2 outdoors baths non mix and 5 different private outdoor baths that you can “book” easily (just need to take the key if the bath is available)

Very nice traditional ryokan with public bath and family bath. We had a private bath in our room, which we enjoyed a lot. Beds were comfortable, food was very nice. Other onsen can be visited in walking distance.

We really enjoyed staying at this traditional Ryokan. The breakfasts and dinners were traditional Japanese cuisine served by very respectful waitresses. Its well located for Mt Aso. We had our own private onsen which was an excellent way to end the day. We highly recommend staying at Aso Tsuruya

The onsen is clean, and the view is good, especially the open air onsen at the top of the mountain. All the staff were very courteous and helpful. The room is very comfortable. The meals were fabulous and delicious. Mr Sato, the owner, was exceptionally helpful and humble. He provides free shuttle services to and fro from the bus stop to the ryokan.

Great Ryokan! Way beyond my expectation - 3 private onsen rooms you can use without reservation and 2 public onsen. - Rooms are spacious, new, and comfortable. There is Kotatsu table in the room, very warm and cozy! - There are lovely facilities you can use and experience such as star observatory, library, and the vintage fireplace room that has free sake serving! - Staffs are very polite and helpful.

We like the accommodation, the private onsen facilities, the location, the food, the shuttle service from and to the express bus stops, and of course most importantly the staff of the Ryokan. The Kaiseki dinner was served in our room and the Ryokan had accommodated our dietary request. Special shout out to 陈婷, the staff handling our dinner, bedding arrangement and breakfast. We felt so relaxed and welcomed. Thank you for making our trip such a wonderful one and our Ryokan onsen experience a memorable one.
