Reviews of Kurokawa Onsen Oyado Noshiyu 4 stars

The stay in the Kurokawa Onsen exceeded our expectations. We spent amazing 18 hours in the onsen. We had specious room with private onsen. We could also use the other onsens in the resort privately. Dinner was served in a private room. The serving, taste, presentation was of the level of Michelin restaurant. The staff pays attention of every detail. Definitely worth recommendation. We loved it!

After seeing the village, we felt very content about getting one of the best and cosy ryokans, the mossy forest was a highlight for us and the baths were beautiful. The staff offered to pick and drop us off at the bus stop and greeted us at the door, very friendly and polite. ♡ The food was also great too, i am still wondering how the chef got even a subtle piece of watermelon to taste so good, impressive.

Greatest traditional hotspring hotel we have ever stayed in Japan. Recommend to everyone who wants to experience the traditional way of hotspring culture.

Might be a bit different if you prefer a modern hotel, but still recommend everyone to give it a try.

What's not to like? From the moment we entered the parking we were treated like VIPs. We're not used to that! The room with its own onsen was really spacious and quiet. The property is beautifully landscaped. We didn't try the public indoor onsen, but the outside ones were lovely. Meals were beautiful and tasty and the servers were so kind. We also got an onsen pass and tried some other onsen in the town the following day - highly recommend but not needed with all the facilities here. It was a really nice treat to stay here.

The property was beautifully presented with great attention to detail. The internal courtyard gardens were particularly beautiful.

We loved everything. The shower/bath arrangements would be unusual if you had had no experience with Japanese onsens. But we were very happy as we love onsens.

Top tier onsen with very reasonable price. I was surprised by the quality of their service although I have been to quite a few onsen resorts across Japan

Absolutely fantastic hotel, extremely beautiful and peaceful with a number of private onsen to enjoy. The onsen were the most beautiful and clean that we had been to in Japan. The room was large, traditional and spacious. The food was delicious. I could not recommend this place more.

Nothing I didn’t like - but one tip would be (if you don’t have a car) to buy your bus tickets in advance here as you may not be able to buy them on the day!

Everything was perfect.

Nothing. Wished we had stayed longer.

The room is very spacious and clean with foot bath and private onsen. The environment there is superb and i definitely will come back again.

The temperature for private onsen is abit too hot, which make it difficult to enjoy fully.

The five private baths were such a bonus! We tried 3 of them. Our room, while a bit rustic was AMAZING and our dinner was very good - the saki flight was a super way to try 3 different types.

Its a tough question - we really enjoyed everything - if we had to pick, the fact the chef would not accommodate a pescatarian diet was disappointing considering the price was almost $800 Canadian for one night including dinner and breakfast which had a few meat options my husband couldn't eat. We asked in advance giving plenty of notice.

Great onsen and traditional rooms. excellent food

Service quite inflexible. A bit expensive.

Everything you could hope for from a traditional ryokan experience.

Nothing.

What an absolutely stunning traditional Japanese Ryokan. Nestled high in the mountains of hot spring resort we were welcomed in style with tea and cakes. The room was quite simply stunning with so many touches of tradition and elegance. Our own private hot spring bath was wonderful as were all the smaller rooms and balconies. We toured almost all of the many private and public baths on site and we especially enjoyed being able to share some of them as a family. The outdoor bath is an experience I will never forget. Our banquet meal was a treasure of new tastes and experiences and is an event that will live long in the memory. Thank you to all the staff who treated us like honoured guests. One night here just wasn’t enough.

Absolutely Nothing

It is a beautiful Onsen hotel. Friendly staffs and nice onsen.

No, everything is so good.

Staff is very nice. Dinner and Breakfast are perfact and elegant. Onsen is also very good.

It would be good if private onsen will provide shampoo and bath soap

Service was excellent. Attentive and friendly staff. Walking distance to the onsen town. The outdoors baths (both private and public) were amazing. The onsen hopping was an enjoyabl experience. The whole inn was surrounded tastefully by nature and i loved the feeling of being submerged in nature and still have my urban creature comforts.

Nothing. The weather could have been better but it was part of the onsen charm.

The service of the staff.

The outdoor onsen does not have bathing facilities and it is not linked to the indoor onsen. One has to walk outside to reach the outdoor onsen. The room rate is rather expensive compared to other cities in Kyushu.

I love the everything about this onsen, the service is top notch the staff so friendly and helpful. I love the onsen give us the feeling on zen and peaceful. Is very good to distress yourself

I hope they have a better pillow. Pillow too small for our liking
