Hotel accommodations ”

This hotel offers some of the best hot springs facility I have ever experienced anywhere in the world. The hot springs pool was amazing and the way they were built from being next to the river or private rooms with hot springs pool were so well thought out and built. It definitely made a lasting impression one I will never forget…

9 onsens are the best.”

There are main building and new building. Beautiful 9 onsens : riverside, cave and bamboo. I like it. Walk 10 min to the heart of the village. Good dinner and I love healthy breakfast in Japanese way. Calm, relax. There is bathroom in the room but you have to shower at onsen. No lift so you have to hold the luggage through stairs. The staff will help you. Nice and helpful staff . Free wifi and parking.

Excellent onsen baths and service”

The outdoor baths are amazing, the river view is excellent. Food was good, we had many vegetables and the the dishes were not greasy at all. The staff spoke English well, and helped us to understand what we were enjoying. The little printed menus were in English. Most of the other guests appear to be coming from Korea at this time. There was a swimming pool and stone sauna as well but we were too busy bathing in the onsens to enjoy it.

Traditional ryokan with nice onsens”

Okunoyu is a traditional ryokan slightly away from the centre Kurokawa area so it’s away from the crowd. It’s at a quiet area surrounded by the nature and the staff members were all friendly and helpful. Our room did not have private onsen but we did try the open air public bath and the family bath which both got stunning views! Meals were awesome too and the dining area also got nice views.

A Beautiful Ryokan Establishment”

A very private and cosy ryokan. Bowled over by the serenity and tranquillity. You won't know that the establishment is set in the midst of a residential area as our room faces the mountain. Had a bit of trouble looking for it though it appeared a bit far out and incongruous to the surrounding houses. The cleanliness is exceptional. The meals were to die for. Everything you would want for in a holiday and in a ryokan. Understand that it is only 10 minutes by car to Yufuin town centre and they provide a limousine service although I did not use it as I had my own rental car. Staff were attentive during meal times and other than that, left you to your privacy. Little touches like 'his' and 'hers' toiletries completed the experience.

Amazing everything!”

The staff were incredibly hospitable, the many baths (big and private ones) within the ryokan were gorgeous, and the food was delicious. Picking up our luggage from the bus stop before checkin then picking us up again from the information centre at check in, the staff were always very helpful. We had our meals in the dining room with floor to ceiling windows looking into the garden and felt extremely pampered. While it is a little bit of a walk to the town centre (approx 15min to info centre), the walk is quite lovely. Would definitely come visit here again in the future.

Very relaxing experience, a must try in kurokawa”

Friendly staff, clean onsens, and great kaiseki!

We loved everything we saw at the ryokan from the friendliness of the staff to the facility, it's top-notch. All the onsens were well maintained with enough descriptions for English speakers to figure out what to do. Perhaps the best part of it was the meals. We were blown away by the 14-course kaiseki dinner included with the stay. This aone would've costed around $100 elsewhere. It was a good sampling of traditional Japanese cuisine made with the utmost attention to details. The only complaint I had was that they couldn't take my Visa credit card which used up a good portion of our cash reserve.

Open air bath, especially the one next to the water falls is our favorite. Unfortunately most hours it's opened for mixed gender, we have to wait until late night or very early morning to relax in this beautiful on-sen.
