Top Kikuchi Gorge Hotel Reviews

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at the hotel. It is very quiet and the location is amazing. We really enjoyed the buffet dinner and breakfast and the onsen was a great way to start and end the day! Our room was spacious (twin beds) with a great view of the mountain. We will definitely come back if we ever come back in the area. We even considered extending our stay but couldn’t because of other plans. Highly recommended for a relaxing time."

Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Family friendly . Buffet dinner was delicious and wide spread . Staff were friendly and patience"

Kurokawa, Mori no Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful cabin, but it lack chairs. It did have floor cushions which is typical in Japan"

yamakawaonsen kosugian

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was an absolute pleasure, a truly authentic Japanese countryside retreat. Nestled on the outskirts of a small village in Kyushu’s breathtaking rural landscape, the property offers a peaceful and experience. Our traditional Japanese-style room overlooked a beautiful garden, with a stream flowing just beyond it. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and went above and beyond throughout our stay to ensure we were comfortable and relaxed. We chose to have both breakfast and dinner in our room, though meals can also be taken in the communal dining area. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious, and the team was happy to accommodate some food restrictions. The rooms do not have private showers, but the property features four private onsens, each with its own unique character, where you can enjoy a soothing volcanic hot bath followed by a shower in complete privacy. The rooms themselves are spacious, and designed for relaxation, sleeping on comfortable futons that are set up by the team after dinner. With Mt. Aso and the surrounding parks just a short drive away, this is the perfect base for exploring nature, slowing down and recharging."

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

8/10 Good

"Liked: Large rooms Did not like: Rigid dining schedule. Food, while plentiful and tasty, was served at a fast pace as the time available for dinner is limited. Private onsen not worthwhile -- water very hot and space cramped. No after dinner option to socialize. Bar very limited and closes (hard close) at 9 pm. Upon asking what people do in the evening we were told-- Onsen (bathe)! It is not everyone's preference to take a hot bath after dinner."

Gekkoju Kurokawa

10/10 Excellent

"It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities. The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!"

Yusai Bekkan

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious traditional style room. Toilet was somehow a bit too small though, not particularly comfortable to use. Basin (for hand washing after using toilet) was then on the other side of the room which was a bit inconvenient. Hot spring facilities were at a different building (much newer and modern) which were 2 mins walk away. That was a slight problem when it was raining heavily when we were there. Parking was not great for our bigger car (RAV4 size type SUV). Tight space and lot of guests made parking very difficult. During golden week, when we stayed there, dining options at night were very limited in nearby regions."

Kurasako Onsen Sakura

10/10 Excellent

"Kind, helpful staff, with a lovely cozy cabin including our own private onsen tub! The grill set and the chance to bring ingredients and cook or own meals on the private terrace made the stay so special and memorable."

Kurokawa Onsen Yamabiko Ryokan

10/10 Excellent

"This makes for a great Ryokan experience. Staff were really helpful and you won't want to miss this Japanese onsen experience."
