Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Best service ever! We forgot our stuffs in the room after the stay. They made contact with our hotel in Osaka and sent it as cash on delivery parcel. All staffs are smiley and so helpful. Onsen and meals are also great. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Only 11 guest rooms with 2 indor and 2 outdoor shared onsen and 3 family onsen. Fantastic Kaiseki full course dinner and Japanese breakfast. Quite good location to enjoy small Kurokawa onsen town. Attentive staffs are keen to provide best services.

Miinukset: A family with kids are not welcome. They charge 2160 yen for a kid even though the family share a room and a meal.

Plussat: Beautiful, serene, amazing staff, amazing food.

Miinukset: The family baths were way too hot! They were all beautiful and unique, however, we found them much hotter than the baths at other ryokans in the area. They were basically unbearable for over a few minutes.

Plussat: They have every thing they said. The facilities and the service are fabulous. The dinner and breakfast are outstanding. The outdoor and family onsens are beautiful and soothing...

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Provide excellent service, Private area of Family onse and surprise in dinner & breakfast with delicious food.

Miinukset: No lift.

Plussat: Beautiful environment, clean, spacious room, great staff

Miinukset: In the public onsen, can have body lotion and one more strong hair dryer for guests. Can tell guests that there are dining options ahead of time. We only realized we could have ordered shabu shabu when we got there but it was too late! More types of short excursion tours would be great.

Plussat: The riverside private onsen in our room was fantastic. It's a beautiful grounds, the type c room is quite pretty. Staff were nice and gave us a tour that we liked.

Miinukset: The indoor onsen was dirty. No yukatas provided, they provide a shirt and pants and shoes that are made for tiny people, so anyone over 5'8 will be too big to wear them. It's not a typical ryokan experience in my opinion. The two separate single beds is weird.

Plussat: Friendly and professional staff. Room was big and onsen was excellent . But the bathroom was not heated so it was a bit cold. The dinner wasn’t as good as expected.

Plussat: It’s one of the kind,best services,foods great.

Miinukset: Hard to booked.

Plussat: The room is so beautifully arranged and furnished. The amenity and toiletries are also convenient. We live close to the resort's bath house. Both the indoor and outdoor onsen are amazing.

Miinukset: The food is a bit on the average side. Dead insect bodies on the wall.

Miinukset: Difficult to locate, have to call and wait for the pickup.

Plussat: I like the food and Onsen here, the ryokan experience was indeed exceptional. Highly recommend to stay here.

Miinukset: Nope

Plussat: Very nice ryokan with open-air and private onsen. The staff are extremely courteous and very welcoming. They will park the car for you and bring your stuff to your room while you're waiting at the reception drinking tea. The room is nice and spacious, the kaiseki dinner & the breakfast are delicious, and the onsen is very relaxing too. I felt like a king when I stayed here.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staffs are friendly. Outdoor Onsen is really good.

Miinukset: Food doesn’t surprise me at all. But service was good.

Plussat: The friendly staff. It is not a very big ryokan but the facilities are excellent.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Staff - Staff are very helpful and all of them can speak or understand English and i feel very welcomed. They also provided pick up and drop off service from and to the bus stop. Food - Breakfast and dinner were very good and fulfilling, not only nicely presented, but also very tasty. Onsen - My family and i were very happy that we could book the family private bath during our stay. (The women outdoor onsen is also very nice with river view).

Miinukset: I wish we could check in earlier as it was a rainy and cold day and the lobby does not have many comfy seating area. However, i understand that the check in time is 1500 and the Ryokan seems very busy with guests checking in and out on that day.

Plussat: Traditional and quiet. I was treated very well by the staff during my stay. A well run ryokan. Highly recommended. My kudos to staff named quyhn (or something like this spelling).

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The staffs were very nice and kind. Room was large with a private toilet. The dinner and breakfast were superb!!! Onsen outdoor was nice. The futon was very comfortable.

Miinukset: If you drive there, make sure you follow gps navigator carefully.

Plussat: The night view and the hotspring is fantastic!

Plussat: Absolutely amazing, gorgeous food, nice onsen, great fireplace with sake.

Miinukset: Our room was had a few scratches here and there, otherwise everything was great.

Plussat: The traditional Japanese setting, cozy environment, food was good and a fire place for relaxation after meal.

Miinukset: Very strict dinner time.

Plussat: Everything is perfect! Onsen, meals, observatory, even sake with fireplace...

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly staff, many hot spring facilities. Star watching session and free sake provided. Very good cost efficiency, highly recommended.

Plussat: Breakfast - We are foreigners and all were new to us. It was interesting and all the items served was delicious. The staff were all very positive, helpful, friendly at all times. I was down with a bad cough and upon my request, they gave me some local medication that helped tremendously. Dinner - the first night was a wow experience but the second night with fish as the main theme not so much. All the same, it was sumptuous and good. The onsen experience was new to my wife and I. We tried all the family baths as well as the communal ones. I dare say we liked it so much that we shall be trying out more.

Miinukset: Nothing really. Occupancy was full on both nights that we stayed but this did not hinder our movements or space at the onsens made available.

Plussat: The staffs working there

Plussat: Excellent all around.

Plussat: Dinner Breakfast Spa

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: All staff is super hospitable and helpful. An excellent place full of Japanese hospitality and culture as home. The dinner and hot spring were all great.

Miinukset: The hotel is hard to find by using the navigator. The road is very dark during the night. Recommend to check in before the sunset.

Plussat: The Ryokan was perfect with the room, Kaiseki dinner and breakfast. They provided free shuttle to and from bus stop and center of the town. I could actually walked from the town center back to Ryokan which took me about 15 minutes. The Onsen experiences were great with indoor and outdoor options. Staffs were so polite and very nice.

Miinukset: A little bit out of town.

Plussat: Ryokan was a little far from the main street (around 10 mins walk) and surrounded by beautiful environment, in the deep of mountain, very close to the nature, quiet but had pleasant stream sounds. Public onsen was big and comfortable. Food was good. Room was big and in traditional Japanese style.

Miinukset: The temperature of the onsen in my room was a little low.

Plussat: Feel so overwhelmed when the staff is waiting and welcoming us in the parking bay once our car is arrived in the entrance. Like the quiet ryokan with no much noises. Enjoy my onsens with nice sceneries. The dinner and breakfast are good and filling. Love the yukata and sandal colours. The room is spacious enough and very comfortable. You can listen the water flowing outside the window and it’s double the joy for my trip .

Miinukset: It’s perfect if have more choices of different onsens. overall it’s wonderful stay

Plussat: delicious dinner and breakfast value for money outdoor onsen is superb great view for taking pictures at small waterfall

Miinukset: don’t trust GPS!!!! follow the sign you should make hotel’s sign in english for foreigners who don’t understand Japanese

Plussat: Everything, the autumn scenery, onsen, half board meal, hospitality staff, Japanese tatami. Thank you for everything.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Almost everything about this ryokan is great: the location, staff, food and private rotenburo with an unobstructed view of a beautiful mountain creek. We booked and expected a ‘room’ for four but our accomodation was actually a specious cottage. The pathway along the creek provided stunning autumnal views at every turn. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious. Yes, the property outside Kurakawa is not easy to find but the benefits are total privacy, no other tourists apart fellow guests, and unspoiled natural surroundings.

Miinukset: We liked pretty much everything there, the horse meat sushi was only so so but our Kyushu experience would not be complete without it.

Plussat: Outdoor Onzen with waterfall sound and good private bathroom

Miinukset: Not clear of entrance sign to the hotel

Plussat: The property is located on an absolutely beautiful mountain stream, as scenic as any postcard. Breakfast and dinner are both included, and are both fabulous. The perfect ryokan experience.

Miinukset: It's remote, so it's a little hard to find. Google Maps will get you close, but at the last minute it will send you to the wrong side of the stream.

Plussat: Food, good service staff, cleaning room, Everything. Coming back next time.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything. The food was amazing, the hosts were amazing, the rooms were ascetic but enjoyable. One of the most relaxing stays at a hotel I've ever had.

Miinukset: It's a bit secluded, so either car or a relaxed attitude is necessary

Plussat: Staying at this place was an amazing experience. The facilities are great − both the shared ones and private ones. We stayed there two nights. Perfect place to relax! The room was great − not only for the aforementioned private onsen: we loved the kotatsu! The food was absolutely amazing as well. It’s not a cheap place to stay, but for us it was totally worth it.

Miinukset: Not a minus in itself, but the whole area is hard to reach by public transport. We could not make it to the daily Kurokawa bus in time, so had to rely on a string of trains, buses and taxi − stressful, but everything worked out though! And the onsen itself is a fair walk to Kurokawa town. We wanted to drop by there for post-office, and it was a solid 20m walk − a nice one, but not with sidewalks all the way − quite stressful with cars coming up :)

Plussat: Everything. Had no problem communicating with staffs, which rarely applies to other ryokans

Miinukset: None

Plussat: My husband and I stayed at this ryokan for a few days. It was our first time traveling to Minamioguni and we did not know what to expect. Oyado Kafugetsu exceeds our expectations in many ways. Our room was a lot bigger and newer than expected. We even had a private indoor and outdoor bath which were free to use at any time. My husband and I are big fan of traditional Japanese home and this ryokan is just perfect! There were a female and a male (separated) baths with breathtaking view to a waterfall, and also a couple of other shared baths near the waterfall. The whole experience is just amazing! Breakfast and dinner were inclusive in the hotel fee. The food there was definitely the best we have had during our entire trip in Japan this year. The staff were all very courteous, professional and friendly. Despite our limited knowledge and proficiency in Japanese language, we were able to communicate and had fun conversations with them. It was definitely the place to be if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life to uninterrupted tranquility. We felt really spoilt during our entire stay there and will definitely stay at Oyado Kafugetsu again. We highly recommend it to anyone traveling in Minamioguni/Kumamoto.

Plussat: Knowing that we are visitors from Hong Kong, the hotel arrange a Taiwanese staff who is proficient in Taiwan language and English to serve us. It is very thoughtful arrangement. The room is spacious with private onsen. You can enjoy the waterfall view in one of the public onsen. The hotel is so nicely decorated with traditional Japanese garden style that it becomes one of our "site seeing spots".

Miinukset: It must be good hotel if in a good condition.Very old and not clean at all around area,it look like spooky hotel.The food not like that show in booking.com

Plussat: Fantastic location, wonderful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff! The room was spacious, the onsen just outstanding. Great breakfast, delicious and fabulous dinner. Highly recommended!

Plussat: Staff are very good

Plussat: Spacious room with river view. Free shuttle service to bus stop.

Plussat: It was a relaxing n cosy stay in Yumerindo Ryokan. We had fine dining dinner n breakfast which was yummylicious n worth the money. The location is easy to access n just a five 5 minutes stroll leisurely to the surrounding of Kurokawa Onsen Town. The scenery is awesome n peaceful. We had lots of fun n bought many souvenirs n food. The cream puffs n sweets in Raku Raku was great. The indoor n outdoor onsen in Yumerindo was perfect for the cold weather. It was indeed a totally relaxation for us. Yumerindo Ryokan is indeed a very warm n cosy place to stay

Plussat: Staffs are very kind, food is excellent. The indoor onsen is great also, very private. Wonderful experience.

Plussat: Spacious room with private outdoor onsen. Nice grounds with public onsen as well as a tea lounge. Both breakfast and dinner were tasty with a good variety. Overall a very good stay.

Plussat: Private onsen bath in the room was amazing. We arrived a bit late and they called to Check on us as we were driving from quite a distance and arranged to have dinner served immediately. Dinner and breakfast was delicious and there was so much amazing food we couldn’t eat it all

Miinukset: Wanted to buy their cute yukata but they didn’t have it for sale.

Plussat: Private onsen, Japanese style dinner & breakfast are delicious & variety, Excellent service with heartfully

Plussat: Both the breakfast and dinner provided were excellent.. plenty to eat and presentation of food were amazing! Clean and quiet ryokan. The onsen both outdoor and indoor were lovely to soak in too.

Miinukset: No wifi in the rooms.

Plussat: Our hosts were gracious and helpful, and ever aware of what they could do to make out stay even more pleasany. The food was AMAZING: overstuffed myself throughout our two-day stay, and everything was presented beautifully as well. Kudos to the chef!! Very nice to have our personal hot spring tub. Interiors of the property were well designed. Our room was huge, and also had a balcony (which unfortunately looked out at a back hoe fixing up the river). The extra heaters in the room came in handy with cold nights (and for drying our shoes which got tremendously muddy after a spring hike in the local mountains).

Miinukset: The hot springs (both in our room and the public/outdoors one) could have been hotter at times, particularly when the cool winds was blowing outside. Nice to have our own hot spring tub, so even when it was cooler than it should have been, we could just hop out, wait for a few minutes while the cold water cycled off, and then hop back in. It was very very difficult getting to the ryokan for the first time--even the English GPS had problems with the address. That view off our balcony was particularly unfortunate.

Miinukset: Only reason i picked this place is large space(60sq ft) as described. Its not even 30 imo

Plussat: Dinner exceptional. Hosts very nice and accommodating. Transfers organised to all the locations we wanted. Room spacious and comfortable.

Miinukset: Slow Internet connection in the room.

Plussat: The hot spring bath was lovely

Miinukset: Unfortunately building work was being completed on the other side of our balcony. The lighting in the room wasn't great so the room was quite dimly lit.

Plussat: We loved everything about this Ryokan. It is a full-on experience that you will never forget. The service and the food were perfect !

Plussat: One of the best onsen hotels I have ever stayed in.

Plussat: Food was excellent, also service. Lots of help in carrying luggage etc: Nice having onsen in room.

Miinukset: View over landslide at back. people cutting down cherry trees, noisy and sad for cherries. Steep steps upto room, no rail. Lots of dangerous places one could bump ones head.

Plussat: The staff was wonderful, we arrived a little early, so we were not able to check in. The staff showed us a map of all of the other towns Onsen's, and even gave us a toiletry bag to take with us before check in. The ryokan Hozantei was wonderful! The staff was kind, the room was amazing, and the Hot Spring was beautiful. The dinner and breakfast was delicious, with many different traditional Japanese foods to try. If you ever wanted a true Japanese ryokan experience, look no further!

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was amazing.

Plussat: very friendly staff quiet environment inside and nearby private outdoor onsen yummy dinner and breakfast

Miinukset: when we checked out the hotel asked for cash only..they finally accepted credit card, of course.

Plussat: Outdoor onsen good

Miinukset: Room can be bigger. Dinner not as good as expected.

Plussat: Very nice onsen, dinner and breakfast

Miinukset: In-room amenities can be improved

Plussat: it look like we play hide n seek, but if you arrive. the heaven of the leisure is waiting for you. On-sen is the best. I love itttttt.

Miinukset: you have to drive.

Plussat: The private onsen and the dinner

Miinukset: Nothing
