We can feel the dedication and care that the hotel owner puts into managing the hotel. Every detail, from the room decor to the food and service for breakfast and dinner, is meticulously prepared. The comfort and decoration in the rooms feel very thoughtful! You can see the sakura petal decorations on the windows and the high-quality patterned and textured toilet paper in the bathroom, showing the owner’s attention to detail. Each room has its own private hot spring bath and toilet. We were pleasantly surprised that the hot spring water flows continuously, which is a huge plus for us after a tiring journey. The preparation of breakfast and dinner in the restaurant is also very thoughtful. The staff provide excellent service, and the food is both delicious and beautifully presented. Overall, it is truly perfect. We would give it a full score.

Situated in the centre of the Kurokawa Onsen Area and boasting a total of 8 indoor/outdoor hot spring baths, Nanjoen offers traditional Japanese-style accommodation with tatami (woven-straw) flooring...

There's pick-up service from the nearby bus station. The service is very good, they even helped to keep your shoes. The view from the room is very nice, and the room is spacious and comfortable.

I travelled with my husband and 9 month old, and our stay was fantastic! We booked a private room, with dinner and breakfast included, and I'm so glad we did. The food was amazing, a great mix of Kumamoto local cuisine (basashi, and karashi renkon) with some wonderful Japanese staples (sashimi, soba and udon, miso soup). The staff were so kind to us, and when my daughter got a little fussy (tired) they would come by to make her smile and giggle. It was really appreciated. If you are traveling with a baby or young child I do think booking a private room as better, because the other outdoor onsens are great, but there isn't an area to change your baby when you get in and out of the bath, so it can be a little chilly. (Maybe more applicable to winter, spring-summer is probably fine).

Located in the Kurokawa hot-spring area, Yamabiko Ryokan offers public indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths and some rooms with mountain or river views.

The rooms and area of this amazing ryokan tie up with the photos depicted. Great room with our own outdoor private onsen. Make sure to check out their communal onsen (amazing outdoor two-tier onsen with great Japanese garden scenery). The food was great too, two chefs (Kenjo and Keiji) who specialize in French and Japanese cuisine concocted a harmoneous fusion kaiseki dinner every night with fresh local ingredients. Truly a unexpected highlight of our stay was the food (both dinner and breakfast were great) and we would highly recommend booking for the full board stay. The ryokan was also family friendly we travelled with grandparents and a 7 month old baby staying in 2 rooms. It was a great serene and tranquil stay and we enjoyed our stay tremendously.

Featuring a bar, Gekkoju Kurokawa offers rooms in Minamioguni, less than 1 km from Kurokawa Onsen. This 5-star ryokan offers free shuttle service.

The facility is top-notch. The food is great! The seasoning yuzu pepper tasted marvelous. The onsens in room or public but on reservation are all really good.

Nice room, comfy japanese-style beds, everything was spotless. Kitchen available. Restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Onsen nearby, too. Lovely garden/common space with bonfire. But the very best point was the owner, a supernice guy who gave us a lot of useful suggestions. It was lovely to chat with him over a glass of shochu! Super recommended
