Guest Reviews

• KAORU (8/5): - 2日目の夕食と朝食 露天風呂と内風呂 博多から博多へのバス停に近い 部屋のトイレの流れが悪かった 旅館の構造上？上の階？の足音が聞こえる
• Christopher (8/5): -
• Isabelle (8/5): Très beau ryokan mais cher - Chambres qui donnent sur un très joli jardin japonais dans lequel nous avons pu faire des photos avec nos yukatas. Superbe onsen, il y a même un sauna. Très beaux espaces communs dans l'hôtel (accueil, salles de restauration) Très cher!
• chih yu (7/5): 推薦大家，是經典的老溫泉飯店，服務飲食一切都好吃 - 員工親切，地點很好在黑川溫泉的入口，有自己的大陽台，很舒服 房間內沒有自己的淋浴空間
• Antonin (10/5): Très agréable - Vraiment très bon. Un peu plus de sucré serait le bienvenu.
• James (10/5): -
• Wiebke (8/5): -
• Atul (10/5): Yumerindo felt like stepping out of the noise of life and into a stream of stillness, beauty, and deep restoration. Imma - Immaculate, airy, clean and incredible location by the waterfall. Fantastic food experience. Having both types of spa made it a complete experience.
• 年育 (8/5): - 食事で料理が美味しかった。 お風呂で床が滑るので、危険な為床の改修をした方が良いと思います。
• KIT HA (9/5): 寧靜溫泉旅館，位置不在主街， 員工有禮，下次再來 - 一泊二食，自駕前往温泉旅館，有員工代泊，遇見的員工都有禮，英文流利，講解清晰。餐食精緻，味道合適，早餐時經理還向各組旅客打招呼。 住在1樓，窗外有庭園景，温泉有室外/內 房間內的木製傢俬椅，顯得有點舊
• Jeong Eum (9/5): -
• SHIN (9/5): 不虚此行 - 住宿环境相当不错，非常方便，就在车站下去走几步就到了整个环境非常优雅，符合我脑海中想象的日式温泉旅馆的所有想象 晚上有点冷
• Jeffrey (10/5): -
• JIHENG (10/5): -
• Tomasz (10/5): - This place was amazing. I was a little bit afraid of sleeping on a futon, but that was the best sleep I had during my trip. We had a very nice view from the room. The onsen inside was nice. Breakfast was amazing.
• Warangkana (9/5): -
• Kyungki (8/5): 일본 여관1일 숙박 - 온천도 숙소도 편안하고..좋았습니다 객실내 타월 부족.=온천에 갈때 방에 있는 타월 갖고 가야하고..또 갖고 오지 않으면 방에서 사용할 타월이 없음. 4인실 방 크기가 좁아서 불편 =3인실로 적당. 방옆 티테이블이 좌식이라 불편..하여 보기는 좋은데 사용하기 어려움.
• Kevin (10/5): - This hotel has an excellent hot springs. Dinner and breakfast was very good and I got to taste local delicacies as well. Come here for a quiet stay in the valley surrounded by mountains and nature.
• Svetlana (8/5): -
• Hall (10/5): A great onsen. Wonderful food. Nice service A great place to stay. - Wow! What a wonderful onsen. So beautiful. An inside and an outside bath. Delightful. I selected the dinner/breakfast option and did not regret my choice. Such wonderful food and what an abundance. And I selected a view room which was wonderful. Highly recommend both options.
• Markus (10/5): - Exceptionel service really. You are taken care of all the way around.
• Job (9/5): -
• Christine (8/5): Recommended! - The location is excellent, just a 2-minute walk from the bus stop. My room overlooked a beautiful garden, allowing me to enjoy the tranquillity of nature. Both dinner and breakfast were of excellent quality, with attentive and thoughtful service throughout. As this is a traditional Japanese hotel, the walls and floors are quite light. Unfortunately, sounds such as footsteps or the dragging of tables/chairs from the room above can be heard very clearly.
• YuWei (9/5): -
• BIAO (8/5): -
• ti-hsuan (8/5): - 離溫泉街有小距離 有父母同行的話不建議選這家 服務人員素質可以再提升 但早晚懷石料理有水準 料理長會用中文搞笑方式與客人互動
• Clare (10/5): - Very relaxing stay. Room was lovely, homely and comfy. Food fantastic, apart from raw horsemeat that was served which wasn't for me. Onsen was lovely. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy to get to from the bus from Hakata. It's the first ryokan down the hill from the bus stop. There's no sign in English outside but google translate confirmed we were at right place.
• Neil (10/5): - Great bath
• Richard (10/5): Supreme onsen stay - Excellent stay. Beautiful room with beautiful scenery. Meals were superb - absolutely meticulously prepared and presented. Baths were great too.
• Naomi (10/5): - フロントの方も接客の方もすごく丁寧でお部屋もすごく清潔感ありました。お料理が丁寧で優しい味で美味しかったです。
• Hajin (6/5): - 위치 좋고, 생각했던 료칸의 느낌을 갖춘 숙소입니다. 직원분들 놀라울 정도로 친절하셨어요. 가족여행이라 7명이 방문했어요. 정말,,, 웬만한 건 다 좋았으나 석식 가이세키와 조식이 입에 안 맞았습니다,,, 7명 대부분이 거의 남겼어요.. 한국인 입맛에만 안 맞는걸까요? 그리고 방에서 바선생을 봤어요. 굉장히 큰.. 그럼에도 불구하고! 방에서 본 뷰가 너무 예쁘고, 침구가 폭삭해서 잠이 잘 왔기때문에 별점 3점 드립니다. 음식말고는 정말정말 좋았습니다! 특히 친절하신 직원분들 감사했습니다:)
• Chungyao (9/5): -
• seizi (6/5): - 食事は良かったです 古すぎた
• Emmanuelle (5/5): -
• ?? (10/5): - 食事の量質ともに良かったです。
• Yu Fen (8/5): - 抵達時，新館正在整修，外觀用黑色布幕遮蓋起來，看起來不是很美觀，但不影響室內看出去的景色。櫃檯人員說飯店為了表示歉意，有贈送一些飲品，很貼心。 這間飯店我最喜歡的就是房間內有一個簷廊，可以坐在專屬自己的小陽台觀看日式庭園，聽著水流聲看著綠色樹木，非常愜意；感到不滿意的事情是，房內的廁所在門口的正對面，離室內較遠，也沒有淋浴室，對於不方便泡溫泉的人來說，不是那麼方便，而溫泉池那邊如果要放置物品，有鎖的置物櫃還要自費100日幣才能使用，實在無法理解，明明已經在這邊住宿，為什麼還要自費付置物櫃的錢呢？ 訂的方案是一泊二食，晚餐的懷石料理部分餐點覺得還好，份量充足，但感覺不太具備在地特色，牛肉蠻油的，早餐部分比較符合我的胃口，沒有出現衝擊味蕾的食物。 黑川溫泉這一段時間有辦理夜晚手持花火的活動，飯店也有舉辦，但晚上7:30到大門口時，即使時間還沒結束，也一個人都沒有，玩起煙花非常空虛，讓人感覺飯店沒有用心在辦理活動，頗為失望！
• cecile (10/5): Un accueil chaleureux, des repas délicieux, un souvenir qui restera dans nos cœurs à tous - Tout! De l’accueil jusqu’au repas du soir. Nous a gentiment proposé d’allumer des petits feux d’artifice pour les enfants, un petit détail qui fait toute la différence, un beau souvenir, chaleureux dans nos cœurs ! L’emplacement est super, tout est propre confortable. Les repas sont délicieux. L’accueil est incroyablement chaleureux. Nous avons déjà décidé de revenir à Kurokawa et ce sera pour dormir à nouveau à Yumerindo Encore un immense merci Ne pas être resté plus longtemps!
• shanshan (10/5): 非常棒的体验 - 早餐是很有情怀的日式定食，会非常贴心引领，妥善保管客人的任何东西！送了几个烟花，店员一个高高的叔叔主动帮我们合影，看我们意犹未尽还帮我们又取来一份，真的太棒啦！非常推荐！
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 시설이 오래되어 전반적으로 방에서 묵은 냄새가 나는 부분은 어쩔 수 없습니다. 남성 노천탕은 가족탕으로 가는 길에서 조금만 자세히 보면 들여다 보이는 구조입니다. (밝을 때 가 보니 잘 보임) 어린 자녀가 있다면 약간 신경을 쓰면 좋을 것 같습니다. 식사는 평범했습니다.
• Takashi (10/5): スタッフの神対応 - 食事無しのプランで宿泊したので近くのレストランでの食事が必要でしたが、どこも満席。少し離れたとこになりますが、スタッフの方が店を探して予約して頂きました。感謝です！
• Thomas (10/5): Le meilleur des repos - Un séjour exceptionnel, un accueil parfait, une table digne d'un macaron Michelin, et un accès facile aux meilleurs onsens de Kyushu. Une expérience hors du temps à essayer les yeux fermés.
• Li Lin (8/5): -
• Li Lin (8/5): -
• 陳育彰 (10/5): - 真的太讚了，而且自己也可以申請家庭包廂溫泉！ 但是他在一段下坡，要進去溫泉街需要一點體力🥲
• Lai (9/5): Superb -
• Lia (10/5): A great place to relax in peace and tranquillity of natural setting. - Location, ambience, private room with small balcony overlooking greenery, sumptuous Japanese cuisine (breakfast and dinner) and the public baths.
• Maximian (10/5): - I would giv
• Lucia (8/5): Very good -
• Alyssa (10/5): I had such a wonderful time - highly recommend! - Beautiful and convenient location. We picked to have breakfast and dinner included and it was so worth it. Food was delicious and focused on local dishes. The room was beautifully traditional and very roomy - the tatami smell is my favorite! The hot sping there made my skin SO SOFT!!!! Highly recommend. Nothing bad to say. I had such a wonderful time there.
• Numan (10/5): - This was my first experience at at ryokan, and the inn is one I would gladly visit again. Great staff, comfortable beddings, fantastic exteriors, and amazing spa facilities (both public and private). It's a bit of a walk from the main town, though.
• Seung Yeun (10/5): - 맘에 들었음. 깨끗하고 조용하고 프라이빗탕에서 뷰도 좋음
• Konrad (10/5): Delightful, we were treatet like royalty! - Staff is welcoming and helpful beyond believe! Food is just delightful and diverse; a journey for your tastebuds. The room was more than we could ever wished for. The Onsen is very refreshing and well made. The only thing we could think of is that it was unable for us to book a vegetarian meal option, but that is not bad aspect if the ryokan , but you should know.
• Kurt (10/5): - This place was amazing! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the manager said hello to everyone at breakfast. The food was overwhelming in a good way. The room was beautiful with a fish pond outside the porch.
• Daniel (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay in Kurosawa - a beautiful little town. The Hanadomari was super - the best part was our private onsen next to the river. Awesome!
• Verified traveler (10/5): 有驚喜 - 旅館位置很好，近巴士站，在整個温泉酒店區的開端，上下路散步也方便。酒店前台有位廣東人，幫忙打電話訂回去福崗的巴士票，非常感謝！酒店翻新過，房內和公共地方氣氛很寧靜優雅，露天溫泉水溫好熱，早晚去剛剛好，是古祖風但非常乾淨，很多人只去了下路的旅館街，沒有去上路旅遊中心那條街道，那裏很多店也有很漂亮的旅館。
• Katharine (4/5): Very overpriced. They need to refurnish the ryokan. - Breakfast and location was amazing. But they need to make it clear that there are only two restaurants in town, so if you don't book dinner at the ryokan on booking you are unlikely to eat. Furniture old and damaged. Room needed painting.
• poting (10/5): good - good
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
• Trevor (8/5): Very good - Lovely room, good onsen, enormous delicious meals. Helpful staff but not much English spoken. It took a while to work out the parking, it’s valet parking.
• Jack (10/5): Exceptional - The onsen Nil
• Russ (10/5): exellent. - Nice location. building was lovely, old wood, nice design. very friendly staff, check in was easy! great view from the reception area and the room. Would like to return and stay longer :) nothing to do with the property. It was just a long bus ride ...I realized later that we could have traveled part way by train and then by bus.
• Lisa (8/5): Great, clean, quiet and wonderfuly authentic hotel - A little shabby and old fashioned around the edges but I felt it was shabby chic! Hospitality was amazing and they were attentive to our needs. The hotel baths were lovely with the highlight being the outside bath. A small misunderstanding with the time we’d planned to eat breakfast meant we had to rush to breakfast.
• HAEIN (10/5): 식사 최고 - 식사가 좋다는 소문을 듣고 다른 료칸 취소하고 간건데 완벽한 선택이었습니다!! 정말 식사가 너무너무 좋았고, 대접받는 기분이었어요! 어머님, 아버님도 아주 좋아하셨고, 지배인님을 포함하여 모든 직원들이 아주 친절했습니다! 노천탕이랑 정원도 고즈넉하고 예뻤어요!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a lovely visit at a place we would happily return to.
• Bo Yin (10/5): - 整體非常好，一泊2食質素也不錯，員工非常有禮
• Ichiro (8/5): - 部屋は広くとても綺麗で趣きもあった 部屋の風呂も温泉でとても良かった 食事や大浴場が車で送迎してもらう本館に行かないといけないのがちょっと残念だった
• EUN JU (10/5): - 콘도식이라 간단히 끓일수있는 렌지가 있어서 좋았어요. 그런데 그릇과 냄비는 없어요. 준비를 해서 가면 좋을 듯. 물은 생수병에 담긴게 아니고 온천 후 타올되 추가로 주지는 않았어요. 겨울이라 매우 추웠어요. 이불은 두꺼웠지만 히터가 너무 작고 다다미방이라 너무 추워서 옷을 입고 잤어요. 자연친화적이었어요.
• Kohei (8/5): - スタッフの方々がものすごく温かくて、また来たいと思いました。
• Hank (10/5): Exceptional - This is a second visit of this accommodation after a few years and yet it still amaze me and the chilling vibe is just simply amazing.
• Thomas (10/5): Excellent and definitely recommend it!!! - We love the onsen and lovely Christmas atmosphere. The garden view at our room was amazing 🥰 A little pricey but worth it 👍🏻
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (6/5): Warm hotel but unlikely to stay again - Stayed on 21 dec, manager was very warm and helpful. Onsen was also nearby and good. However was just too cold to walk over in Yukata and hotel slippers as hotel other younger staff advised to be ok. Room wise: as weather was about -1degree that night. 1) The heater was too small in the room to warm up sufficiently so it was too cold to sleep in comfortably. 2) Private onsen was too hot for human to step in, supposed hotel staff should check temperature daily else the perk become useless. 3) bed is too old and could feel the spring of the bed, make it hard to sleep well.
• Stephenie (10/5): - The staffs were very nice and helpful. The environment was brilliant and clean. The Onsen was very good. The spring water was very clean and clear.
• Neil (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chihomi (8/5): - 温泉が最高でした！ただ１つ残念だったのは、外出して戻ったら部屋の鍵がドアにさしたままでした。掃除後忘れたようですが非常に驚きました。
• Kha (9/5): Superb - Staff was so helpful despite language difficulties. The meals were excellent n well served. The location was quiet n very restful. Even had a black goldfish.
• janet (10/5): - Great location and helpful staff. The staff took care of everything for us including assuring our in room hot tub was working perfectly. We bought the three onsen pass and enjoyed going to three other location. We also went to Onsen Yumerindo which has a great outdoor onsen. Wonderful relaxing two nights.
• Frederic (10/5): - Amazing experience, private bath is nice, but dont expect to fit 2 people in the hot water all the way to your head since its a bit small, traditionnal japanese feel is amazing and the traditionnal food is a nice and unique experience
• Masami (8/5): - 少し古い建物でしたが、清潔感を感じました。 宿の方の対応がとても良かったです。前もって説明を受けてはいたのですが、シャワーの出が悪かったのが不便でした。、
• Yasuko (10/5): - Good service and good food
• Andre (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly stuff , nice garden + tranquil sounds
• Minnari (10/5): Exceptional - Our family had a lovely stay
• Verified traveler (6/5): Room 116 smelled like mold - Room 116 had a moldy smell. Water stains were visible on wall. I asked to change rooms and they allowed a change to the second floor. I don't think they should be utilizing that room at all with that strong smell of mold. The second room had no such smell.
• Connor (10/5): Exceptional - I did not realize that the busses did not return to Fukuoka in the evenings from Aso but I am so glad I stayed the night here. This place gives you a real traditional ryokan experience. I would highly recommend anyone coming to the Aso area to stay here. The surrounding area is beautiful, it is a 2 minute walk to the bus stop, and the onsens are amazing. They have an indoor and outdoor onsen and then an indoor sweat room. This place was amazing.
• TOMOKI (8/5): - 料理もおいしくとてもいい雰囲気で一晩過ごしました。 大満足です。
• Chek Wan (8/5): - Clean room with private hot bath in the room. Enjoyed the breakfast. Staff is friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay in this ryokan.
• MinJung (10/5): - Nice place with beautiful nature
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 早餐有點簡單 有會說廣東話的練習生做check in 感覺很親切 房間整潔乾淨 地理位置ok
• tatsuo (2/5): - スタッフの対応が冷たい！ 高級ホテルではありえない客対応。
• Kaibaak3 (9/5): Superb - Breakfast and dinner are amazing The room is a bit dusty
• Mariana (8/5): Make sure that you’re not staying at the annex! - First time staying in a Ryokan and to our surprise, they send us to the “annex” which was not as nice as the main building of the hotel. We did have a spacious western style room and our small private bathtub. We didn’t really get to experience staying at a Ryokan since we were in a building its rooms and no baths. The space was ok. Needs a bit of upkeep.
• Yong (5/5): Passable -
• ChillaxGal (8/5): Nice onsen ryokan experience - Read some of the reviews, whilst I agree it's more expensive compared to other ryokans, I find some complaints are due to miscomm. We chose no cleaning of room since we stayed for 2N only. This means 1st night dinner is in room, 2nd night is at restaurant on L2, because our futons are already set up in middle of the room and table pushed to the side. Whilst we were having bfast, they came in to tidy up the futons but they are not kept, so we can go back to sleep anytime we want. I like the whole range of facial cleansers they provide at the sink in room. Smells really nice! Food wise, a bit overwhelming in terms of portions bec there are so many courses..and personally we are not fans of horse sashimi nor raw chicken. Even thought we returned these 2 courses at dinner, we were still super full from the other courses. Young waiter shows translation on his mobile phone to explain each course. Agree they don't have staff who can speak English, we don't speak a word of Jap but can get by with hand gestures. In the day, there is a recep girl from Guangzhou who speaks Mandarin, Cantonese and bit of English. When we walked to onsen town just 10min away, we see a few restaurants which are opened for dinner so you can opt for just bfast, just note the timings of restaurants. Also if you drive, on the way to Nabetaki Falls, you will drive past Oguni rest place, there is a huge supermkt and few cafe/easteries for food options. Things at that supermarket is cheap. There is an air pot in room if you wanna have cup noodles. My room at L2 has a nice view of the Jap garden and Sakura, also enjoyed the ladies only outdoor onsen. Not crowded at all.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 非常舒適的溫泉體驗 - 是一間有歷史的溫泉旅館，位置比這區域任何一間溫泉旅館都要優越，環境整潔乾淨，員工有禮貌，服務貼心，適合任何人入住。
• Ghislain (10/5): - We stayed in the annex of the main property. It’s a very Classical Japanese room. The room was spacious and we enjoyed the private onsen. The manager is super nice ( but it’s useful to speak a bit of Japanese). He drove us to the main building for dinner ( and try the other onsen). It is also easy to go to the main street by foot. Dinner and breakfast were very copious and typical of riyokans.
• Sam (10/5): - Manager Mr Nakanishi was super friendly and helpful. It was very pleasant stay. The location was nice and peaceful. Walkable distance to main area The meal was very delicious The room and onsen was great 👍
• Andrew (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful place. Make sure to stay two nights as the Kaiseki dinner on night two is incredible (true for most onsen resorts).
• Jean Luc (10/5): - Staff extremely friendly and supportive, superb dinner and very nice room The Onsen is top of class
• ??? (8/5): - 昔ながらの旅館といった感じで、風情があった。 サービス、お料理ともに大満足です。 混浴の露天風呂があったのが驚きでした。
• Michael (10/5): Wonderful - We love luxury ryokans. Stayed 3 nights in kurokawa onsen. 3 different hotels. Yumerindo. Fujiya, and Yamabiko. Yumerindo had the best food by a small margin. Fuyiya has the best ambience. If we were to return. We would choose fujiya. If fujiya is sold out, then yumerindo is fine. Yumerindo was less expensive than Yamabiko. Bottom line: All 3 are good. All are better and much less expensive than 3.5 and even some 5 star hotels in the USA Children in the room above us were running in the early evening several times. Floor is wooden without a false ceiling, so noise transmits. Fujiya and Yamabiko rooms are larger. Yamabiko has the best private bath onsens.
