Guest Reviews
- kimiko (8/5): - 客室は広く綺麗で落ち着いて過ごせました。お風呂は大浴場と露天風呂に行きましたが、広くはないものの心地よく、比較的ぬる湯だったこともありゆっくり楽しめました。
食事はお味は良いので、仲居さんとのコミュニケーションや提供タイミングがよくなるとよりいいのではと思いました。
あとは、ロビーに黒川温泉以外の周辺エリアの観光情報が少なかった気がします。
- Sau Wai Romy (8/5): - 冷氣不穩定,半夜熱醒兩次。被鋪太厚太重。建議改用其他輕薄的羽絨被。
- Suk han (10/5): 很美味的晚餐 - 環境舒適
食物優質
下次會再入住
- Cheung (10/5): - 入住體驗非常好,雖然只是入住兩個晚上,每位工作人員的服務態度都非常良好。還記得6月20日入住的時候,因為發生了一點意外需要外出處理,導致錯過了晚餐用饍的時間。但是工作人員并沒有因此放棄我們,當我們回到旅館,工作人員貼心地主動接觸我們,告訴我們仍然可以享用我們的晚餐。我們十分感動。想要在此特別感謝每一位工作人員,特別是會說普通話的研修中的周小姐,感謝你這兩天的服務。
- Kazuyo (10/5): - 静寂の中で全て癒されました。過度でないおもてなしも大変気に入りました。お風呂も最高で何度も入りました。次回も壱の井さんです。
はるかjuice美味しかった❤️
- Saori (10/5): - スタッフのフレンドリーできめ細やかなサービスのおかげで気持ちよく滞在できました。宿泊者用のドリンクサービスの中のオリジナルドリンクがとてもおいしくて何杯もおかわりしてしました。木立を眺めながら入れる露天風呂はとても気持ちが良かったし、夕飯も豪華で美味しかったです。
車で行くのは道が細くて急勾配で怖いので、近くの駐車場に停めて迎えにきてもらうのをお勧めします。
- Gareth (10/5): - Service staffs are very friendly and helpful. The onsen is decent and their dinner and breakfast are superb.
- Daeki (10/5): 최고의 료칸 - 매우 친절함. 쿠로카와 버스 스테이션까지 셔틀을 운행해줌. 가이세키가 매우 맛있음. 진짜 박수쳤다. 일본의 료칸 기준은 이치노야이다.
- Gloria ??? (8/5): - Too early check out time at 10am and a bit far from shopping area.
- Akihiro (10/5): - 良かったです。
- Tai Hu Perry (10/5): - very quiet and peaceful place. could be due to the fact that i stayed on a weekday, hence less crowded compared to a weekend. the meals provided are amazing as well with excelling staff services.
- YUMI (10/5): - 硫黄の温泉がとても良い。特に夜の露天風呂はライトアップされて綺麗。食事場所も個室に限られプライベート感が有りくつろいで食事が出来る。館内にお花が飾られ品のある静かな旅館。
- Saki (10/5): - とても快適に過ごさせていただきました。
ありがとうございました。
- Sirisuda (10/5): Still impressed - This is the second stay at Ryukan Ichinoi, we stay here last year and so impressed then we come back here again, It was still so great. The cleanliness, sevice, staff, room size, food.
There are free private onsen 45 mintues 1 time. But the public onsen is so good either.
- ノリコ (8/5): - お風呂とお部屋が最高によかったです。
旅館は階段が多いので足腰に自信がない方はきついかもしれません。
- zhengwei (10/5): 地点有些偏,但接站服务非常周到 - 即使是上午大巴到站,酒店工作人员也已经在巴士站等了。也不用在酒店口换鞋,少了很多不便。晚上还吃到了水中珍品--香鱼刺身。原以为只有1个丽水来的姑娘,没想到居然有3个大陆来的服务员,没有语言障碍,有了家的感觉。
- Sunny (10/5): - The photos don't do this ryokan justice. We had a semi-western room and it was very large (even compared to other ryokans) - so big it even has a little corridor. Room and overall facilities were quite modern. Dinner and breakfast was excellent. Private onsens require booking and a 1000JPY fee which is ok but half board for my 2 year old child at 5500JPY was quite steep considering what they served (and options are limited given the amount of raw food for dinner).
- TAK KUEN (10/5): - 服務水平和體驗非常好,食物美味,房間很漂亮和乾淨。有中國女生當店員,溝通完全沒有問題。性價比很高,會再次到訪。
房間內抽氣扇和空調的隔塵可以定期清洗的話會更好.
- KAIN (10/5): 다들 친절하시고 욕탕도 좋고 카이세키도 맛있고 - 송영서비스도 정말 친절하게 잘 나와주시고 전반적으로 귀한 손님 대접 받는 기분이 들었습니다.
욕탕도 이쁘고 물도 좋더라구요~ 유황온천이라 냄새는 좀 납니다.
노천탕 속에서 죽어 있는 개구리를 3마리 정도 봐서 좀 놀랐어요ㅜ
- SHINHWA (10/5): - 석식 온천 노천탕 마음에 듭니다. 다만 활발하신 분들은 심심해 하실수 있습니다.
- hyeonseon (10/5): 조용하고 깨끗하고 쉬기 좋은곳입니다 - 아주 좋습니다. 새로 지은건지 크고 시설도 일본스타일이지만 편안하게 되어 있습니다. 인포에서 좀 떨어져 있지만 짐만 없으면 금방 걸어갈 거리입니다 워낙 작은동네라 둘러보는것도 한시간이면 되고 조용하고 예쁜동네입니다. 산자락에 있어서 공기도 좋고 온천투어가 있는걸 몰랐는데 다음번엔 시도해보고 싶어요 특히 밤에 강위에 전등빛은 너무 예쁘네요 온천도 크고 유황온천이라 되게 부드러워요 방에 화장실세면실만 있고 공동욕실가서 씻고 온천바로 하면되서 굳이 샤워시설이 필요가 없어요 온천욕장도 붐비지않고 밤 8시 오전 9시에 갔을때 아무도 없었어요 조식도 정갈하고 식당도 다 칸막이해줘서 좋네요 담에도 또오고 싶습니다 직원들도 굉장히 친절하고 너무 맘에드는곳입니다 부모님이랑 같이오고싶어요
- To Kan (10/5): - 我住過最好的溫泉旅館之一
雖然訂的是沒有私人風呂的房間,但是有提供租私人溫泉也是不錯
晚餐的味道很好吃,是我在這趟旅程吃過最好吃的一餐
早上要離開的時候下很大的雪,巴士都停運,職員很樂意幫忙去找出市區的方法
- KAM FUNG (10/5): - The hotel service is good with high quality dining .
- Man Yuen (10/5): - 環境寧靜、舒適,地點係山坡上,要行一段小路,揸車去會比較方便。至於餐飲兩餐都是和式定食,有懂普通話職員,容易溝通。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 環境非常舒適,員工親切友善!
- YA-CHEN (10/5): - 住宿品質優
- leemin (8/5): - very nice!!!!
- Sun (8/5): CP 值高温泉旅館 - 旅館位置不在大街、要行一段小路。職員服務態度好好。tatami瞓得舒服。晚飯有板燒和牛^^ 、因為入餐廳要除鞋、職員主動提供短襪值得一讚。
外面差不多包場浸溫泉、貸切溫泉環境一般沒有風景。浸完溫泉可以享用自製檸檬水好飲。cp 值高、可以推薦!
- Pei-yun (10/5): 適合喜歡新旅館、房間大的人 - 房間空間寬敞設備也新很舒適,備品也很齊全,男女湯都有室內湯與戶外湯,步行到溫泉街大約5-6分鐘,價格比台灣同級飯店更便宜,非常推薦,下次有機會來還會再住
- Akira (10/5): - かぼすジュースが飲みたいとたまたまたお伝えしたら別の方へご伝言してご用意いただいたり、枕のご相談をしたらこちらもご用意いただいたり、いろんなことにお気づきいただきとても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。次回は他の旅館の外湯巡りがしたいです。またゆっくり来たいと思います。
- Mei Imm Eileen (10/5): Perfect 10 for this Ryokan! - Highly recommended. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Gender specific onsen on the property was fabulous. There is a private onsen availble for booking at a fee of 1000 yen for 45 minutes if you wish. Half board includes Japanese breakfast and dinner which was served in a private cubicle. Amazing experience.
- Shuichi (8/5): - アクセスする道が狭いですね。
夜は周りに開いてる店が少ないですが
唯一ぐらい開いてる店は凄く良かったです
- WAI YAN (10/5): - 間房大間,酒店員工好有禮貌,食物都不錯
- jung hee (8/5): 룸엔 화장실과 세면대만 딸랑있어요... - 방에 샤워기조차없이 세면대하나만있어서 당황했어요..분명히 룸설명엔 샤워기있다고 써있었거든요...
온천목욕은 공용온천탕이나 가족탕이 따로떨어져있는걸 써야해서 불편했어요..
- Pui Yu Alison (10/5): - very nice and enjoyable stay. Staffs are friendly and helpful. gave us a free ride to the bus station when leaving the hotel. Great outdoor & indoor onsen for relaxation. Our family had a relaxing, enjoyable stay at the hotel with delicious local Japanese food for dinner and breakfast. Recommended.
- Tiffany (4/5): - Super friendly staff
- ?? (10/5): - 주변이 조용해서 휴식하기에는 더할 나위없이 좋은 곳이었습니다!!요리는 뭐 최고였고 온천도 최고였습니다~~!!
- ?? (10/5): - 직원분들이 너무 친절하시고 너무 좋았습니다...!
아침 조식도 너무 훌륭했습니다!!
주변상점들이 일찍 닫아서 매우 아쉬웠습니다
숙소주변에 편의점같은 상점이 11시까지 늦게하는걸로 기억합니다!! 숙소도 너무좋았어요 추천합니다 ㅎㅎ
숙소에연락주면 픽업도 해주고 고속버스탈때는 정류장까지 데려다 주셨습니다
- HOKYUNG (10/5): 너무 좋았던 이치노이 료칸 - 가이세키가 너무 예쁘고 맛있었어요. 프라이빗 온천도 너무 좋았고, 퍼블릭 온천은 더 더 좋았어요. 전반적으로 깨끗하고 직원들이 너무 친절했습니다. 웰컴 디저트도 맛있어서 기념품으로 몇 개 사갔어요.. 꼭 가세여 완전 가성비 료칸 짱짱
- Esther (10/5): - The dinner is so tasty! Service is excellence, remember to call for pick up. I love the view of the room, so relax. I would love to visit again! Best resort in my trip!
- Raymond Gianco (10/5): - 很讃!好服務,價錢非常公道!小朋友也有早餐及晚餐!
- Sheng Lung (10/5): - 溫泉很棒,環境清幽 飯店人員很貼心
- HYEON JI (10/5): - 조용하고 주변 하늘이 넓어서 별이 잘보여요
직원분들도 친절하고 아침이 맛있으며 욕장도 쾌적해서 잘 쉬다 왔습니다 ^^
- Seung Hun (10/5): - 다음에 또 이용하고싶어요
- DENNIS (10/5): - 酒店位置很好,距離黑川溫泉街很近。酒店温泉設施是一流的:房間很寛敞(4人房間),很舒適,很潔淨。1泊二食,晚餐和早餐都很豐富,很好味!對酒店整體是非常滿意!
- Verified traveler (10/5): 温泉に癒やされる - 黒川温泉の旅館に、5箇所宿泊し、温泉手形で更に6箇所程入浴しましたが、硫黄の香りが濃く温泉を心ゆくまで体感出来ました。
食事も美味しく・サービスも良く、リピータになること間違いいなしです。
- みほ (8/5): - 食事も肉、魚、お野菜、とても美味しかったです。食事はコロナ禍になってから個室になってて良かったです。
スタッフの方も対応も良く好感が持てました。
清潔度が4なのは、露天風呂のお湯の中にオラオラヌメヌメの白い汚れが沢山ありました。そこだけ非常に残念でした。内風呂のお湯は綺麗でした。
私が泊まった時だけたまたま汚れていただけかも知れませんが…。
- Masayuki (10/5): - 旅館に入って行く道が坂で狭いので案内所に車を停めて迎えに来てもらいました。送迎の方もとても物腰が柔らかくて良かったですねです。館内も清潔に保たれていて静かで都会の喧騒を忘れました。
スタッフの方も笑顔でとても良かった。
- Saki (10/5): - 初めての黒川温泉でした。口コミが良かったので、利用しましたが、想像以上に良かったです。
◾️食事
18時ごろに宿到着。食一風呂浴びてから夕食をいただきました。(夕食は19時開始までのようです)
夕食は口コミ通り大変美味しく、地場のものをふんだんに使っている食事でした。
暖かいものはタイミングよく持ってきていただきました。
朝食も
宿泊客が少なく、フロアは私たちのみの宿泊で静かでした。
- Seong joon (10/5): - 깨끗하고 조용하고 산속이라 주변 환경이 쾌적합니다. 딱하나 렌트해서 갔는데 주차장이 너무 협소합니다.
- Takako (10/5): - 周囲を木々に囲まれて落ち着いた環境です。
温泉街からは200m程奥まったところにあるので、温泉手形で湯巡りするにはちょっと不便かも。
バス停までは事前に連絡すれば送迎してくれます。
温泉は硫黄泉でとても温まります。
宿の方々はとても感じが良く、気持ち良く過ごせました。
フロント脇のバーも全面板張りで、雰囲気があります。
ただ、館内にエレベーターが無かったようなので、お年寄りには向かないかもしれません。
- Tsuyoshi (10/5): - スタッフの方が親切丁寧で素晴らしい。
温泉も申し分ない。
- HARUO (10/5): 静かな旅館 - 山の中の静かな旅館でとても癒されました。
規模は大きくありませんが、少ないお客様を非常に丁寧に対応されていました。
外には食事をするところ少なく、早く締まってしまうので、旅館の中でゆったりするしかありませんが、それを目的にされるなら最適の宿だと思います。
- Tsutomu (10/5): のんびりくつろぎに - スタッフが明るくとても気持ち良く滞在出来た。食事も美味しくボリュームたっぷり。温泉は内湯と露天風呂以外に家族風呂(別途1000円必要)もあり。駐車場は敷地内にあるが途中の道は狭くアルファードクラスは厳しそう(近隣無料駐車場から無料送迎あり)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの方も対応がよく、お部屋も綺麗でした。思っていたよりお部屋は広く感じ、縁側とそこから見えるお庭も良かったです。
朝食もコロナ対策でしょうか、大広間に間隔を空けてテーブルが並んでおり、仕切りもありました。安心して美味しい食事を楽しめるかと思います。温泉も内湯と露天風呂、家族風呂がありました。脱衣所も清潔です。黒川温泉街は宿も多く、気になるところもありますが、またぜひ利用したいと思えるお宿でした!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful onset with views into the woods. Comfortable rooms with excellent service. Recommend breakfast and dinner at the ryokan as there is not much to eat at those hours in the town.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 温泉街から少し奥にあったが、静かですごいいい旅館でした
- Mei Ling (10/5): High quality onsen water - It was the first time I visited Kurokawa. The ryokan was good to arrang pick-up service from/to the Kurosawa bus station. The ryokan was not in the main onsen street, I could enjoy the silence.
The decoration of the ryokan was very nice. The room was spacious.
The Japanese style breakfast and dinner were all good and respect to the amount I paid. The quality of the indoor onsen was very good, I enjoyed a lot.
- Gisela (8/5): - A little bit far from main street
Value for money
Nice japanese bed
Very clean
- Kam Man Simon (8/5): A decent Onsen Hotel - Hotel is very considerate in advising the correct driving route to the hotel beforehand as GPS would direct a route which is very dangerous to drive. Our one night accommodation included dinner and breakfast and the meals are satisfactory. Onsen with sauna and two outdoor baths is very nice.
- Dil (10/5): - Stunning ryokan tucked away in the mountains, but still only a 10 minute walk from the main onsen town. Super friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful rocky outdoor onsen with sulphuric minerals. Clean and spacious tatami room, and delicious Japanese style breakfast set. Would definitely stay again!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 露天風呂非常舒適,房間夠寬鬆,舒服,但因住的房間及用膳位置夠高,我們須步行3層楼梯才可到餐廳,有點疲累,食物滿意,整體也可!
- ゆう (10/5): - 朝、温泉に入ったら内湯がぬるめで、とても入りやすかった。気持ち良かったのでゆっくり入れた。他の温泉は結構熱めのとこばかりだったので、ぬるめがあるのは良かった。だけどもしかしたら時間が早かったせいかもしれない
- Naihsin (4/5): - 房間內沒浴室,付費湯屋普通,大浴場很冷,食物很平常,整體CP值蠻差的。
- CHI HIM JOSEPH (10/5): - 一間好值得去的温泉旅館
- Verified traveler (10/5): Highly recommended! - The room is quite clean and comfortable. The foods in dinner and breakfast are quiIe delicious. The hot spring is quite good. In summary, I enjoyed a wonderful trip in this hotel.
- Eol (10/5): - 旅館細心早提醒是否需要到巴士站接送。落巴士即見笑臉迎人先生趨前迎接,還搶著從巴士替我攞行李。接待處小姐可用英文溝通,還幫忙致電巴士公司預約明天往熊本巴士。不但幫我攞行李落樓下房間,還細心提醒 check out 時撥電話叫他們幫我攞行李。溫泉不錯,尤其露天溫泉熱力夠,與男湯用又高又密木板隔開,感覺安全,只是locker放外面,要有 100 yen coin 在身才可用。早晚餐也不錯,日式早餐還有鮮奶飲,但不習慣拖鞋隨意穿。酒店下斜路 5分鐘便到溫泉街。溫泉街很細,15分鐘行完。若再來,不作他選。
- SC (10/5): - A very decent onsen ryokan with nice food, nice view, nice people and high quality of onsen water. Highly recommended:)
- YUSHAN (6/5): - 預定2大+1小(9歲)房間,但其實BOOKING只有2個大人,小孩部分現場增加:備品費用、床費用及早餐費用,都是個別計算,大概都是2000~3300不等,其實加起來也是大概7000~8000元不少費用,如果這樣倒不如訂3人房比較好。
房間很舒適、早餐很日式、有會說中文的員工、天氣冷配上湯屋非常舒服。
- CHUN TUNG (8/5): 旅館內環境和服務態度十分好 - 旅館內的環境、整潔度和服務態度都很完美。但可能本人對當區的不了解,而且是素食者關係,本來想和家人6pm check in後步行到山下(5分鐘路程)吃晚飯,但發現下山路昏暗,市集街上人煙稀少,很多店舖都在6pm或之前關門,只剩下1-2間食店,所以個人認為晚上旅館週邊的環境不合適步行外出,比較適合在旅館訂餐一心一意享受在旅館裡的時光。
- Verified traveler (10/5): 세심한 서비스 - 편안한 여행을 만들어주는 료칸. 실수로 숙소에 놓은 물건을 찾아주시고, 감사했어요.
- Chanintorn (10/5): - ที่พักน่ารัก ตอนกลับพนักงานก็มายืนส่งจนลับตา
- Verified traveler (10/5): Quite ,newer room ,great services - Friendly hotel ,great shuttle services from bus station for pick up and drop off.
Bigger and newly room .
Great breakfast ! Dinner was good too.
The hotel located in deep inside area not with hotels on the busy tourist street
but quite and enjoyable.
Outdoor onsen was good not not so big.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Rooms and facilities are a bit dated but staffs were friendly and foreigner friendly. In a quiet area a short walk from the main street where most of the other ryokans and some restaurants and shops are located.
Additional charges for the private onsen so we did not use it. The public onsen has an indoor and outdoor section for both the male and female side and is only open from 7am-9.30am and from 3pm to 9.30pm. We feel it’s too short especially at night. Perhaps the night opening could be extended.
We also found a lot of white floating particles in the water. They looked like something from the source and not dirts but wasn’t pleasant to see. Management should really looked into this.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - clean room and outdoor onsen are clean
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It’s a very traditional ryokan, everything was perfect !
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent service from the hotel. Very friendly and patient staff, always ready to help out despite the language barrier. The room we stayed was very clean and comfy. Loved the onsen. The hotel provides transfer to and from the bus stop as well.
- Lina (8/5): - The bed is full of mites that cause itchy but the reception provide good service after all. Good dinner and breakfast served
- Andreea (10/5): Purely wonderful stay - Wonderful stay at ryokan ichinoi. Lovely staff, room with great views, onsen with milky waters. Recommend the kaiseki dinner too
- Robert (10/5): What’s not to like. - We had a wonderful stay here. The family run Ryokan always went the extra mile and helped us plan our itinerary. The location, rooms, service and food were excellent. We were sad that we were unable to stay here for the 2 nights.
- Chun (8/5): - Onsen is clean. The room is outdated. The hotel is not easy to find.
- Ed (10/5): - A very unique experience , staffs are very nice and friendly , make me feeling like at home :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was very kind and our room was nice! They sent us a message before how to get to the ryokan, since there had been problems. The ryokan is on top of a small hill, so the other ryokan and baths are a few minutes by walking, but totally okat. Just a notice that there are very few restaurants open for dinner, so if you can, book dinner and breakfast at the ryokan. it is much easier.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Conveniently located ryokan which is immaculate and has friendly staff. Nice rotenburo too.
Kurokawa has many great hot spring baths and is set in a beautiful location.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 鬧中取靜的好地方
雖然離商店街有些距離,卻也能很享受寧靜的氛圍
傳統日式房間與早餐,也有飯店的接駁服務,很棒
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and good serevice.
Breakfast tasted good! Thank you
- Verified traveler (2/5): Horrendous Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Ichinoi - I booked 2 rooms (each meant for 3 guests) and 1 Japanese style room (meant for 4 guests) for a travelling party of 8. 2 kids occupied the Japanese style room with one set of grandparents. The hotel charged me for an entire room (for 2 additional guests occupying the Japanese style room) without telling me the additional amount at the time of check in. They only told me at the time of check out. I could have booked an additional room and collected another night on hotels.com if I have been told at the time of check in. It is bad service on the part of the hotel. At the time of check in, the hotel was prompt to pick up the luggage from the car. Yet, at the time of check out, we have to carry the luggage to the car ourselves. Pretentious service. The hotel does not offer dinner without prior reservation. They recommended a restaurant run by 2 ladies who doesn't speak English and they claimed that the restaurant serves Wagyu beef - the restaurant does not and the beef was the worst I have eaten in Japan - tough as leather. I asked for 4 bowls at the restaurant and they promptly served 4 additional sets of food. It's ridiculous. This was the worst hotel stay in Kyushu during my 3 weeks holiday.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Horrendous Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Ichinoi - I booked 2 rooms (each meant for 3 guests) and 1 Japanese style room (meant for 4 guests) for a travelling party of 8. We had 2 kids sleep with 1 set of grandparents in the Japanese style room while 2 persons occupied each room meant for 3 guests. Yet the hotel charged us an rate equal to a fourth room for having 2 "additional" guests in the Japanese style room. I could have booked another room if that's the case and would have earned another free night at hotels.com. The hotel should make up its mind - either charge based on per head or per room, not both. There is no dinner at the hotel if you don't book in advance. In the end, they recommended a restaurant run by 2 old ladies who speak no English and overcharged us by giving us 4 additional sets of food when I only wanted 4 additional bowls. That was the worst meal in my 3 weeks holiday in Kyushu and this was the worst hotel stay as well. It's daylight robbery.
- Tiff (8/5): - Enjoyable 2 night stay. Love the onsen, it's well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities. The Ryokan is a little uphill 5 min walk from the main Street. Personally think it's great for people who like privacy.
- Owen (8/5): A restful night - I really like ryokan Ichinoi because of it remoteness which is a little further up Kurosawa. You’ll need to drive up a narrow road to get up there so you won’t find big bus tours there. So quiet and peaceful. I slept so well that night. I tried the private bath as well and it’s well worth the extra price. Service and food are exceptional. The only thing to be aware is that therer is a flight of stairs between hotel lobby and guest rooms and there is no elevator. But they do help you with your luggage. All in all I am very happy with my stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): A nice family run ryokan - Very nice cozy place with good service.. Breakfast and dinner were very sumptuous. The onsen is good too.. A convenience store is just down the road. Overall highly recommended
- Ruitian (10/5): The best Onsen Ryokan I ever been - The place is super nice but you need to have a good driving skills to get there. A small size SUV can barely get into the road.
The food in the place were wonderful and with very reasonable price, I would recommend to try at least once for breakfast and dinner. Also, if you have any special request for the food, you better tell them 1-2 days in advance unless they would say no to you.
The wifi connection was bad, you cannot even watch youtube with 360p, so please expect no outside connection during your stay.
- Maew (8/5): Nice onsen hotel - Our stay at Ryokan Ichinoi was great.The hotel staffs were polite and extremely helpful as they helped us to rebook the bus since we have to change our plan a little bit.
The location was also good, with easy access to the onsen town.
- Vinnie (10/5): Nice Ryokan with super friendly staff - We had an amazing time in Ryokan Ichinoi. The Japanese-style room was extremely nice! The Onsen as well! The best part were the super friendly staff/owners.
When we weren't finding a dinner place in Kurokawa, they phoned restaurants and drove us to them. They will also pick guests up from the bus stop so no-one needs to carry luggage up the short way.
We can very much recommend this Ryokan.
- Melanie (10/5): Traditional Japanese ryokan in the mountains - We had a two night stay and loved this place. Got the room with breakfast and evening meal. Great food (and they adjusted the menu for my partner who isn't so keen on fish). Onsen on site, they give you yukata you can wander around in. Staff are very friendly, although English is limited. Beautiful area, the drive through Aso national park to Beppu is highly recommended!
Top tip - google maps sends you on a stupid route to get there. Just put in the town centre and follow the signs from there. The road up to the hotel is pretty steep and narrow but there is plenty of space in the car park once you get up there.
- Karima (10/5): Beautiful place near nature - Let me just start with applauding the amazing service we have received during our stay at Ryokan Ichinoi. The staff were all very eager to help and to give us the best experience. We truly felt like important clients for them, and they made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The room was as expected very large and comfy, with a great view of the forest. The kaiseki dinner and the traditional japanese breakfast were amazing each time, with fresh ingredients and balanced. We tried the private onsen in this ryokan for a reasonable fee and we bought the onsen pass to try the other onsens in the village. Each places had its perks so I would recommend anyone visiting Kurokawa to get the pass! All in all, it was a relaxing stay. We would love to go back one day and we're recommending this establishment to all friends and family.
