Top Tamarai Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Tamarai

Solest Takachiho Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel Local restaurants closed by 8 pm or low capacity, difficult to find a place for dinner A bar would have been a good facility to relax in during the evening Great few days"

Kurokawa, Mori no Cottage

10/10 Excellent

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

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"Kamenoi is a large resort that offers great breakfast and dinner, large indoor and outdoor baths, friendly staff"

Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park Resort

8/10 Good

"The exterior is a bit old, the room is spacious,"

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!"

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Ichinoi

10/10 Excellent

"Nice ryokan, quiet and clean. The staff are very helpful. They have both public and private onsen."

Yamashiroya

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean and big room, 4 private baths, and delicious meals. You can choose your yukata so that it feels more personal. A great price for a ryokan in a secluded setting. Hosts were very welcoming as well. Please refer to their website if you have questions such as arranging their shuttle service. Highly recommended! I had a wonderful stay!"

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."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tamarai?

The best area to stay in Tamarai is the Yufuin Onsen district, particularly around Yunotsubo Kaido street, for its classic hot spring town experience.Yufuin Onsen is the heart of Tamarai, known for its traditional Japanese inns (ryokans) and natural hot springs. Yunotsubo Kaido is the main pedestrian street, lined with small shops selling local crafts, sweets, and souvenirs, leading towards Lake Kinrinko. The area is surrounded by lush greenery and offers beautiful views of Mount Yufu.Couples looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway will find Yufuin Onsen ideal. Many ryokans offer private onsen baths, allowing for an intimate experience. Strolling along Yunotsubo Kaido, enjoying local delicacies, and visiting the tranquil Lake Kinrinko provides a peaceful and memorable trip.For those seeking a more secluded and tranquil experience, the area slightly further from Yunotsubo Kaido, closer to the base of Mount Yufu, offers ryokans with larger grounds and more expansive views.

When is the best time to go to Tamarai?
