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

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at the hotel. It is very quiet and the location is amazing. We really enjoyed the buffet dinner and breakfast and the onsen was a great way to start and end the day! Our room was spacious (twin beds) with a great view of the mountain. We will definitely come back if we ever come back in the area. We even considered extending our stay but couldn’t because of other plans. Highly recommended for a relaxing time."

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."

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!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Yamakawa Onsen?

The best area to stay in Yamakawa Onsen is within the small village itself, as it's the heart of the hot spring experience.The village is compact, located in the Aso caldera, and is primarily centred around the main street where most of the ryokan (traditional Japanese inns) and a few local eateries are located. It's a peaceful area known for its traditional Japanese architecture and the pervasive scent of sulfur from the hot springs.For couples seeking a tranquil and authentic Japanese hot spring retreat, staying directly in Yamakawa Onsen is ideal. You'll have immediate access to the various public and private baths offered by the ryokan, allowing for a relaxing and intimate escape. The focus here is on unwinding, enjoying the therapeutic waters, and indulging in exquisite multi-course meals served at your accommodation.Travellers looking for a quiet getaway will also find Yamakawa Onsen perfect. The village offers a slower pace of life, with opportunities for gentle strolls and enjoying the natural surroundings.

When is the best time to go to Yamakawa Onsen?

It's a pleasant time for outdoor activities and enjoying the scenic drive to the onsen.Autumn provides comfortable weather with clear skies and stunning autumn foliage, particularly from late October to mid-November. The colourful leaves create a picturesque backdrop for relaxing in the outdoor hot springs.While summer (June to August) can be warm and humid, and winter (December to February) can be cold with occasional snow, both seasons still offer great experiences. Summer provides lush greenery, and winter allows for the serene experience of soaking in a hot spring while surrounded by snow.
