The atmosphere, food, staff, and hospitality are amazing. We loved the onsen available on site, but also managed to visit other onsen in town (you can get an onsen hopping pass from the town visitor center). Overall very tranquil and relaxing.

A beautiful place to stay in beautiful surroundings. Hiroki-san took great care of us from the beginning, explaining everything and serving our meals. He was very kind, patient with my attempts at speaking Japanese, and welcoming. The riverside room had an amazing view in the autumn. There were so many onsen to choose from, shared outdoor ones and six private ones, easily accessed. Extremely relaxing. The food was kaiseki style - many, many dishes. Absolutely delicious dinner and breakfast. The Kurokawa Onsen area is full of charm. We particularly enjoyed a local shop run by a man who makes pottery. He explained how they make the white glaze from a local plant. There are more onsen that you could possibly visit, but other than Yamabiko, I highly recommend the cave onsen at Shinmeikan and the beautiful outdoor one at Ikoi Ryokan (bear in mind I’ve only seen the men’s sections). ![ Breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C02B3FFAB1B7FEE915A07E355BCEB98ED32258691732620845648.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bedtime](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/401C0D15A32FE34B2F24F2AD8BED23DEC9E984CB1732620845329.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Riverside views](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BD290A42A1A4F070DDB1F77338C1D6C67A5231DD1732620847439.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Riverside views](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A04C28EE6688F17B8994D65DDAAAD9AEED9F7B801732620847448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 10 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Great place, there were 6 private Onsen rooms, and public (male/female) bath houses.

The outdoor baths were wonderful. There are also 6 family indoor onsen open 24 hrs a day that do not require reservation. The room was huge with a lovely view of the river. The town is charming, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and they were very happy to have kids. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fred 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Fred Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JasonRicy 10 Jun 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### JasonRicy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Boram 8 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities good ##### Boram Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 21 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Ryokan. The property is beautiful and it's not far from the Kumamoto limousine bus stop (the hotel gives you rides to and from the stop anyway). Short walking distance to a bunch of restaurants and the main area of the town. Top notch service and super clean. The outdoor onsen is incredible. A few (minor) complaints: -Some of the decorations are a bit tacky -You only get one bath towel during your stay. If you want an extra one you have to pay extra. This seemed...weird given the price of this hotel. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chi Chiu 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service The changing area of private bath apparently was not being cleaned frequently enough so it was wet and with hairs all over the place. ##### Chi Chiu Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tomohiro 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 部屋、食事、お風呂、スタッフの対応の全てが心地よくゆったりとした時を過ごせました。 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39cf4bba-730c-4119-8ab5-2eed24b57b9d-1752096364583.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tomohiro Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sangmin 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 서비스 태도와 주변 환경이 최상 ##### Sangmin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kwok wa 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 房間非常整齊乾淨、從入住到退房都非常好，職員非常有禮貌，餐食份量剛剛好、口感好，溫泉種類非常多而且環境優美乾淨！非常值得入住！ ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6852B7E55D3212479195F78C85EE5E3FFBF59BF91742612247561.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/54796BBA0EEFC24DCAB4F7808D5956DD2D729DA11742612247055.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F5E580A11018150561F956B296C56FAE89B569E11742612247855.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75FE41EA047FEFA78C116D31ADE3E8BE9B62C2CF1742612248817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kwok wa Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ??? 16 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 久しぶりに夫婦でゆっくり温泉♨️を楽しめました。料理も美味しく、満足です。もう少し紅葉🍁してたら最高でしたが、川のせせらぎも心地よく、また来たいと思います ##### ???
