Minamioguni Hotels

Booked two 和室 (Japanese-style room) with 2 meals （一泊二食）for one night stay during my family (4 male adults, 2 female adults).

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Fumoto Ryokan. The check-in and check-out process was excellent—efficient, seamless, and completely stress-free.
The location is fantastic — right by the river.

An absolutely wonderful experience. The property was beautiful and the staff incredibly kind, gracious. The meals were fantastic.

The staff were attentive and spoke basic English. Fujimoto-san in particular was very polite and friendly. He helped us from picking us to the bus stop to the end of our trip.

Traditional ryokan set in a little town and stretch of street with several other ryokans where guest can access them with a day pass. Our room came with dinner and breakfast.

Our best experience we had in Japan! The private onsen on the roof top was a nice touch! The 6 course meal was a 10/10! I can’t wait to see what we’re going to have breakfast tomorrow!

Day trip. Location is out of the way, but that just means its quiet.
They have 2 baths for females. 1 standing and 1 sitting (w/ a small cave).

Room was clean and spacious with two in-room onsen.
Staff were very kind and helpful, especially the female staff serving us. We try to talk a lot in Japanese. She was amazing.
Food was incredible.

I’ve had a great time in this ryokan and enjoyed my stay. The food was absolutely delicious with good service, it actually exceeded my expectations, especially with the sashimis and steak.

Fantastic rustic guesthouse in forested setting, helpful host with great pre-arrival communication in English, very comfortable rooms (bedroom and sitting) which were warm and cosy when we arrived on

The location is about a 10-minute drive from Kurokawa Hot Spring Street. The road before arriving at the accommodation is a bit narrow, so it is recommended to arrive before dark.

I’ve stayed here twice and had a great experience both times.

We had the half board as a couple getaway, during our 10 day stint exploring Kyushu with in-laws. The property had clean rooms with modern furnishings.

We stayed for a couple of nights and had the best experience here.

Hi, sorry, we missed the chance to share a review on Booking. So, I write here.
It was a really good time in this ryokan. The owners were very polite and helpful. Everything was so clear and perfect.

An incredible inn — delicious food, a beautiful and peaceful natural setting with picturesque walking paths, and excellent service.

This review is just for the onsen pass. The spot was great since it's right by the river, and you can hear the water, which is super relaxing.

Misato is one of six fully tattoo-friendly onsen in Kurokawa Onsen (i. E. Tattoos are allowed with no cover-up required).

I had the pleasure of staying for one night in a Western-style room, which included both dinner and breakfast.

Had a fantastic stay of two nights at Sanga Ryokan. From the moment we have arrived to the last second of our stay, the service was warm, attentive and very friendly.

I had the most wonderful stay at this authentic, traditional Japanese ryokan nestled in the woods of Kurokawa Onsen.

We visited the ryokan on 11/30/2024. Nonohana is nestled in the remote area, not too close to Kurokawa Onsen. We stayed in room Benifuji, which was spacious and with both indoor and outdoor onsens.

The best onsen experience I’ve ever had. The onsens themselves, the staff, the rooms, and the dinner and breakfast were all top notch and memorable.

A wonderful, wonderful hotel, in an idyllic location.
The staff are incredible, the food astounding and delicious.

Wonderful quiet onsen ryokan away from the more touristy kurokawa side. Staff are very friendly and professional from the moment we checked in. Room is clean, nice and well maintained.

✨Our most magical night on our three week trip ✨
The service the food the atmosphere, the surroundings. All sublime.

We are a group of five staying from 15 to 17 February 26. The rooms we stayed are Japanese style, very comfortable and nice.

Superb.
Elegance and comfort, with multiple room choice options including isolated private onsen rooms overlooking the river gorge.

The location was set in a quiet and peaceful site away from the busy tourist area but still just a short drive away. The room was spacious, like a summer cottage and the kitchen was well equipped.

The property is only about 3 mins drive from the town centre. The owner was very honest in returning ¥10, 000 when I inadvertently overpaid. She ran out after me when she realised.

Date visited: end June 2025
Fabulous room. A spacious living room, fully equipped kitchen with utensils and cutlery, bowls etc. A small electric oven, microwave oven and a big fridge.

We stayed in one of the cabins with private indoor and outdoor onsen. We loved it! It was our first onsen experience in Japan, but certainly not the last.

Had a wonderful visit. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable willing to help you with any requests you have.

We had an amazing stay here! The service was incredible—they set up our futons for us and even helped pack them away. They also helped to carry our luggage up the steps.

We stayed in the annex room with a river view, and it was easily one of our best experiences in Japan.

We stayed in the annex room with the river views and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Feels like I touched a bit of heaven. The onsens were also pretty phenomenal.

We had a private onsen in our room and it was clean and comfortable. We also tried the public open air baths and they were good as well.
Food was so delicious.

I think is one of the most pleasant hotel experiences I have ever had.

The room a got did not have a nice view (I was aware of that) but some room have nice view. As a foreigner the Japanese hospitality on that ryokan was above all expectations.

I only visited for onsen hopping and I think it was one of my favorite.
Next time I come to Kurokawa I will seriously think of staying there.

Our stay here was so amazing! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious with great service.

We initially picked Ichinoi because it’s fully tattoo-friendly, which is rare amongst the 30 ryokan in Kurokawa Onsen. We stayed one night just before Christmas.
