Beautiful ryokan and facilities, including the guest-only onsen. Our room was large and beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s in the heart of Kurokawa, and therefore very close to several other onsen.

Great hotel with comfortable futons and lovely rooms. We had tea and hand made biscuits at check-in. The onsen was nice and had the option to have a private room if desired. The staff accommodated a gluten free dinner and breakfast request which was superb! We will definitely stay again! And the goodbye wave from staff was a nice touch.

Everyone there was amazing! Helpful, kind, and informative. For example, they booked a bus for us to get to our next accommodations in kyushu! Rooms were amazing, and baths were top tier. I will be returning in the near future!😊

Kurosawa is a beautiful little onsen village, and Kurokawaso is an excellent place. The private open air onsen was a splurge for me but delightful. Meals were seasonal, fresh, and v tasty.

Boasting spacious indoor and outdoor hot spring baths surrounded by lush greenery, Ryokan Wakaba provides Japanese-style accommodations in the peaceful mountain area.

Incredible stay at Ryokan Wakaba. The location is perfect and makes it super easy to hop between the different onsens in town. Both the male and female onsens at Wakaba were very large and had fantastic views of nature and the river. The meals included (dinner and breakfast) were both very very good and includes a lot of food, so definitely come very hungry (I definitely recommend adding the Horse Sashimi and the Steak to the dinner). The staff was very very nice and helpful. Our stay here was very magical and we are already dreaming of coming back again next year.

    The hotel landscaping was beautiful and exudes a sense of peace and tranquility. The staff was very helpful and greeted us at the drive in when we arrived at the hotel. There many options for the onsen and the riverside bath had an amazing view of the waterfall. Highly recommend this ryokan and will definitely come back again.

    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.

    Oku no yu was great! The staff picked us up from the bus station and dropped us off. The facilities had a public and many private onsens to try. The staff helped us set up our futons and there were yukatas for us in the room. We had breakfast there and it was very yummy. Overall, great experience and would recommend!

    We had an unforgettable family stay at a traditional Ryokan in Japan. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who made us feel right at home. The serene atmosphere of the Ryokan, with its beautiful tatami rooms , and peaceful environment, provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our family enjoyed the delicious kaiseki meals served in Ryokan and loved relaxing in the private onsen. We highly recommend this Ryokan to families looking for a unique and authentic Japanese experience.

    The cave onsen was a unique experience. They have private indoor n outdoor hot springs for booking. The English speaking female non-japanese staff was very friendly and pleasant. The ryokan also sent us to the bus stop when they learnt we are taking the bus to Hakata. Dinner was served around a fire place, giving a warm, fuzzy feel.
