Everything was perfect! Service was perfect, everyone was super polite and really made us feel taken care of. The meals were elaborate and delicious. The onsen in the room was magnificent, what a peaceful experience. I 100% recommend this Ryokan for a special onsen experience.

This ryokan is exceptional. From the decor to the facilities to the friendliness of the general staff we felt welcomed and relaxed throughout. We had planned to visit other onsen ryokan on our visit to Kurokawa but quickly realised that we didn’t need to - it was all right here. There are 6 private unique baths on top of the excellent rotenburo (men’s and women’s outdoor pools separate but alternate each day) and with our limited time in Kurokawa (one night only) we were able to make use of 4 of the private baths and both of the rotenburo (one on each of the days). A great feature was the no booking system for the private baths - it was first come first serve but there were lights that showed you which was occupied. Even better, there was a screen on the tv in your room which told you which were occupied so you could plan which one to go to before you headed down. There was also public indoor baths but we didn’t have time to utilise these. Our kids (ages 11 and 15) enjoy the table tennis and the massage chairs as well as the baths. The views over the river from our room were beautiful especially at night with the illuminations in the river downstream from the bridge easily visible. We really enjoyed the food though some of the selections were a bit too challenging for the kids. Surprisingly though they both enjoyed the horse-meat sashimi!

Kyutei offers a hot spring bath and free private parking, and is within 39 km of Mount Aso and 47 km of Kinrinko Lake. The property has garden and quiet street views.

We had the half board as a couple getaway, during our 10 day stint exploring Kyushu with in-laws. The property had clean rooms with modern furnishings. The yukata and slippers provided was very comfortable to lounge around the compound. Amenities are avilable upon check in at the lobby. You can choose your size of Yukata. Thoughtful touch and not just one size fits all. We had booked the private onsen for 1000yen. It was rather frills free but was wonderful as a precursor before our dinner at 6.30pm. U could choose from these timings: 6, 6.30 and 7. The half board was worth it as it had free flow liquer. Try the Hakutake Umepon! The next morning before breakfast, we explored the outdoor onsen (gender separated). It was surprisingly quite crowded for the female one. Very picturesque and tranquil albeit for the squeeze at the shower area. The breakfast was rather basic, after the fanfare that was dinner. But decent. One can have a short walk outside to explore the nearby swing, a nearby gift shop, or even fly a drone in their sprawling outdoor premise.

Yosh is very kind and helpful. He welcomed me with a special corn tea and shared with me lots of useful information to explore the area. His map is very useful. The room is clean and comfortable. I had a very nice sleep. The location is perfect for families with kids because Cuddly Dominion is just located on the other side of the road. Your whole family can enjoy the animal shows, feed penguins with fish and take photos with super cute bear cub. Thanks again Yosh!

Beautiful spacious house with beautiful garden and big outdoor space. Perfect base for exploring Mount Aso, Kikuchi area, Takamori area, as well as Minamiaso; assuming you have your own car. Amazing experience to live like local in a posh bungalow.
