My spouse and I enjoyed a couple of nights at this wonderful onsen resort hotel. We stayed in one of their cottages which was quite spacious with a lovely Japanese design. It included our own private onsen as well as the communal onsen which was located just a short walk away from our cottage. The meals were truly extraordinary - not just delicious but beautifully presented. The staff were so kind and friendly, and quickly responded to any needs that we had. If you’re looking for a lovely retreat in the mountains, this is the place to be!

“Fantastic Onsen Experience - A Ryokan Gem in Kyushu”

This Kyushu self-drive trip was incredibly packed with experiences. We stayed at three different hot spring resorts along the way, and I'll introduce them one by one. Before heading up to Mt. Aso, I'd recommend spending a night at the Kurokawa Onsen area to really relax and unwind at the hot springs before continuing on your jam-packed itinerary. There are tons of ryokans to choose from in Kurokawa, and this time we picked a more remote one located up in the mountains called "Yamamizuki Bettei Miyama Sansou". With only a handful of rooms, it provides a wonderfully serene and peaceful stay. The Japanese-style and Western-style accommodation package with 1 night and 2 meals comes out to about 34,000 yen per person. The service, food quality, and overall resort standards are all absolutely top-notch. Highly recommended! ✨Check-in✨ The check-in process was very smooth. After completing check-in, the staff even drove us to our accommodation in a golf cart - a really fun experience! ✨Japanese-Style Room✨ Our room was a standalone cottage with two separate spaces, occupying a huge area with excellent layout. The room has both Japanese and Western-style elements, with a very comfortable Japanese-style living room. The room has a huge private onsen, surrounded by a private Japanese garden for maximum privacy. We could take a stroll in the garden and enjoy coffee while admiring the river views in the morning. ✨Kaiseki Dinner✨ The seasonal ingredients used in the multi-course kaiseki dinner were beautifully presented and delicious. The highlight was the perfectly-cooked wagyu beef, with the fat evenly distributed and seared to a medium-rare perfection that just melts in your mouth. They also have a great selection of Japanese sake at reasonable prices - we enjoyed a couple of small cups. ✨Japanese Breakfast✨ Breakfast was a pleasant surprise! Instead of the usual buffet-style spread, it was a carefully curated set menu. The delicately steamed seasonal vegetables were incredibly sweet and tasty, accompanied by Japanese rice and other side dishes - a wonderfully nourishing start to the day. P.S. The resort is located deep in the mountains, so I'd recommend it for self-driving travelers. Just be very careful driving on the mountain roads, and try to arrive before sunset.

“매우 깨끗하고 편안한 온천”

직원들이 매우 친절하고 영어구사 능력도 괜찮은 편입니다. 특히 한국어를 이해할 수 있는 직원도 있어요(근데 듣는건 잘해도 구사는 못합니다^^). 객실과 대욕장 모두 청결도는 5성 호텔 급이고, 온천물 질도 매우 좋습니다(유노하나가 엄청나게 떠다녀요^^). 중심부에서 좀 떨어진 호텔임에도 불구하고 매점에서 왠만한 것은 다 구할 수 있습니다. (가격이 문제지^^;;) 또한, 자매 료칸인 야마미즈키(근거리)나 신메이칸(쿠로카와온천 중심부)의 노천온천도 무료 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있어요. 음식의 질도 왠만한 5성호텔 뺨칠 정도로… Plus

(가격이 문제지^^;;) 또한, 자매 료칸인 야마미즈키(근거리)나 신메이칸(쿠로카와온천 중심부)의 노천온천도 무료 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있어요. 음식의 질도 왠만한 5성호텔 뺨칠 정도로 맛있고 좋습니다. 꼭 단점을 꼽자면, 중심부에서 약 2.4km 정도 떨어져 있다는 점인데, 오히려 그 점이 조용함을 극대화 했고, 위에 적었듯이 매점에서 왠만한 것은 다 구할 수 있으므로 큰 단점은 아닙니다. Very friendly staffs. Especially, Korean language understaing staff available(but cannot speaking Korean language ^^). Room and big bath are both clean as 5-star hotels, and quality of hot spring water is perfect. (There are floading yunohanas in the water^^). I could buy anything to need despite far from city center. (but price is not reseanable ^^) And I could use outdoor hot spring in affliate ryokan - Yamamizuki and Shinmeikan. Quality of foods are also 5-star hotels class. Just one weakness is far from Kurokawa Onsen City Center. but it is not big weakness. It makes more silent place :)
