Ulasan Kurokawa Onsen Oku No Yu

Great experience living in a ryokan in the rural areas of Kyushu. Location was secluded which was great for time away from the bustling city, but was confusing to get to when arriving at night. Staff were very polite despite their lack of English proficiency. One area of improvement could be to provide suggestions on places to visit in the onsen village. The baths were warm and soothing, the private baths were a tad small though. Dinner and breakfast was great as well. Overall a positive ryokan experience.

一定要住榻榻米！一定要預訂懷石料理，尤其小童餐，那叫一個精緻完美呀！奧之湯真是滿足對日本森林温泉的一切美好想象！太美好了！

在黑川的另一頭，很安靜的地方，沒有鎮上的嘈雜，設施比較大，温泉很有特色，晚上八點後都是女湯，可以盡情享受！

房間有點舊，但乾淨程度是合格的。 房內沒有沖涼房，只有露台直接拿温泉水沖涼，冷天衹好去到公共廁所沖涼。 Check out時間是10am, 有點太早了吧。 晚餐很豐盛👍🏻 地點： 入口處不太明顯，晚上入住的話要注意，google會帶你去荷蘭…建議入口顯示牌放明顯點 整體性價比是不錯的👍🏻

服務很好，提前就來詢問接站訊息，郵件回覆快遞，前台年輕人英語不錯。我們這次入住主樓，房間維護得還不錯，有一個大陽台走廊。唯一遺憾是露天浴池是混浴，只有晚上8-10點供女性使用，如果有白天的機會欣賞美景就更好啦～

很棒值得入住，傳統日式温泉旅店，基本上都是日本人入住。餐食略簡單，但是温泉體驗感不錯。泡着温泉看着瀑布。

onsen เยี่ยมมากๆๆ ติดแม่น้ำ วิวร้อยล้าน

폭포가 보이는 멋진 노천탕과 맛있는 요리가 너무 좋았습니다.

Our one night stay at Ryokan Okunoyu, Kurokawa Onsen was the highlight of our trip. Nestled in the green mountain terrain and flanked by rivers, the hotel took special care of us - helping to park our car, with luggage and providing the correct-sized yukatas and haoris not just for us but for our 8 and 11yo children. The tatami room which had both western and Japanese style sleeping arrangements, in the main building, was spacious and we had a fantastic view of the greenery and falling snow outside. There were a number of Onsen available - even family baths and a swimming pool. Our favourite was the riverside bath. So atmospheric with the falling snow! The kaiseki dinner was plentiful, delicious and beautifully presented. Even the children got to barbecue their own hino beef. We really appreciated the warm care from Okunoyu’s team - anticipating all our needs and also helping us plot our drive on to our destination (the regular road was blocked by snow). Highly recommended for a warm family stay in a traditional ryokan. We also enjoyed walking around the shops in the town area. All the little lanes connected to small bath houses and bigger ryokan.

It is probably best to get to the Ryokan via car. For us, it was a little difficult to locate the Ryokan probably due to us missing the signs to where the Ryokan is located. After turning left from the main road, you will need to turn left and drive up the slope to the Ryokan. We were there early, slightly after 1pm as the check in time is 3pm. We left our luggage at the Ryokan and took a walk around that area. There are some shops and eateries after about a 10-minute walk. But we had some trouble finding a restaurant for a late lunch. Some are closed while another which we wanted does not have seats available. Managed to eventually find a tofu restaurant near that area. Staff in the Ryokan speak some basic English, which is sufficient for us to do our check in efficiently and get the information we need. The room we had is on the second floor, which is nice and of a decent size. Clean and comfortable. They provide Yukata in the room, which you can wear when you go to the onsen. Apart from the public onsen, you can also ask for the key from the reception to use the private onsen for an hour, if these are not taken. There are 3 (or four) private onsen available. We really love the onsen, both the private and public onsen. For the public onsen, if you go to the open onsen, do note that it is a mixed onsen, i.e. both males and females share the onsen. The Ryokan comes with dinner and breakfast at the dining rooms. Quality and quantity of the food for both dinner and breakfast is very good. The service staff in the dining rooms that served us is from Nepal, so apart from their native language, they also speak Japanese and English. Very helpful and cheerful staff. Overall experience in the Ryokan is very good. Would have given a 5-star rating if there are more eateries around the area for lunch!

A lovely place in a quiet setting beside a river. Price includes traditional dinner and breakfast. Ten separate bathing areas including some with mixed bathing outside with a waterfall in the background. A very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Will stay again.
