Recent Reviews in Minamioguni

Kurokawa Onsen Yumerindo Hanadomari

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very relaxing inn to stay at and I felt completely refreshed after leaving. The staff are very attentive and helpful. Do note that this is an annex to the Yumerindo Inn where the main public bath and restaurants are. However, the staff will shuttle you to the main building during certain times and are very prompt. That said the main in is a short walk away. Other than that, the rooms are impeccably clean. The private bath overlooking the river is incredible. Highly recommend staying at Yumerindo Hanadomari!"

Kurasako Onsen Sakura

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was beautiful and the onsen in the back was a dream for the people out there that want something not so public. As a heads up this is kind of like a campground so you can hear others in their places and the walls of the cabin are a bit thin but didnt cause any problems or disruptions. Definitely a great stay to get away from the busy cities."

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

10/10 Excellent

"This is a ryokan where the rooms have been updated but the onsen baths are still original, as is most of the town. The staff was extremely helpful. The cooks were very accommodating for gluten and dairy allergies, the breakfasts and dinners were delicious. There are two private baths you can reserve in addition to the male and female baths. The town is cute, you can walk all around it in a half hour, plus time for soft serve and coffee."

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and every space is really clean !! Food is buffet style but pretty good. Worth it with price"

Yufuin Hoteiya

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first visit to Japan and we had such a great time here. Nice and pleasant staff, clean facility and located in the beautiful place. Also the breakfast and dinner were amazing."

Yufuin Ryokan Seikoen

10/10 Excellent

"We found this place the last minute after we decided to stay for overnight instead of making it a day-trip from Fukuoka. Absolute good decision! Everything is so good: room, staff, and the venue. Love it."

Kurokawa, Mori no Cottage

10/10 Excellent

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

Rakuten STAY VILLA Yufuin Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer"

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!"
