"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!"

Top Kikuchi Gorge Hotel Reviews

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

Vessel Hotel Kumamoto Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Large room with a comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was worth the stay. Very friendly staff."

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."

Kurasako Onsen Sakura

10/10 Excellent

"Kind, helpful staff, with a lovely cozy cabin including our own private onsen tub! The grill set and the chance to bring ingredients and cook or own meals on the private terrace made the stay so special and memorable."

Kurokawa Onsen Yamabiko Ryokan

10/10 Excellent

"This makes for a great Ryokan experience. Staff were really helpful and you won't want to miss this Japanese onsen experience."

Aso Resort Grandvrio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"definately off the beaten track. beautiful grounds/golf course. big breakfast. very helpful staff."
