Top Business Hotels in Minamioguni

A quiet remote inn in Okukurokawa. There are only 8 rooms in the vast land. Because each room has a bath, I don't meet people in the large open-air bath, and I rarely meet people in the hotel. The room is a calm Japanese-style room. The floor I stayed on was on the 2nd floor, but when I opened a door, I went down the stairs to the 1st floor from here and went to the indoor bath. The bathroom is filled with steam and is a hot spring that flows directly from the source. The service is also substantial. Welcome fruit was prepared in the refrigerator. The food is also vegetables from the home vegetable garden and locally produced Japanese beef. The rice is also delicious with locally produced ”Akigeshiki”. It was a satisfying hotel in everything.

We stayed for 2 nights in December 2019. The room has a bath, and the sulfur smell is a source hanging water that seems to be very effective, with the flowers of the fragrance hot water. I entered the hot spring many times during my stay, but my shoulders and back became lighter and I realized the effect. I think it is a great hot water. The room is not large, but the ceiling is high and there is no feeling of pressure. The interior was rural and did not match their hobby, but I was able to spend comfortably. The hot spring was great and the room was comfortable, so the service was outstanding. Overall, I felt that the staff was not working to meet the needs of the guests, and that it was an operation importance to turn efficiently. If guests stay at this inn, they need to match a considerable part of the inn side. I think there is no way to be a lower price range inn, but if you ask for this price, you should provide such services according to the needs of more guests. If you maintain the price now, I think you should increase the number of employees and make a fine service or lower the price if you are a service now. I was worried about the following points. • I arrived 30 minutes before check-in. At that time, check-in was from 15 o'clock, so I was told that I was not given an option and was driven out. I knew later, but there were only three guests on that day, and the cleaning staff said that they were finished until the final inspection of the room by 12 o'clock every day. Then, I was happy to have considerations such as waiting in the lobby at least. • The accommodation procedure is performed by guests. I think it is rare in this price range inn. It's a small thing, but I'm worried. • The explanation of how to use the room was also insufficient. It's dangerous if you don't explain the caution because you use a gas stove. • Dinner is 18:00 or 18:30. There is no other choice. It was too early for us. • The dinner course was delicious with beef from Kumamoto Prefecture. I felt that it was not suitable for the price of 12000 yen per person. The chef was also like one person, and it was an efficiency-oriented menu. • There are already appetizers before you arrive at the table of meals. I was careful not to dust off my jacket. • Breakfast is also a choice of 8:00 or 8:30. The most surprising thing was that I wanted 8:30, but around 8:05, I called to prepare breakfast. Is it coming early? • When I checked out, I asked me to carry two suitcases and shoulder bags, but I was refused because I couldn't carry the bag. • Especially, the male staff who was called the chief was not enthusiastic or I didn't feel the feeling of hospitality to the guests at all.

1) When booking a room, I only know that breakfast/dinner is included, and when I check-in, I know that there is only one beef bento for dinner. My friend doesn't eat beef, and the hotel is also flexible. We each add more than 4,000 yen to the dinner buffet. The food provided by the buffet is not tasty, and the food is not hot, so we have to make do with it when we have no choice. It would be nice if the hotel could provide one more bento option for vegetarians/religious people. 2) The reason for choosing this hotel was to see the starry sky, but the weather was not as expected, it was cloudy and I couldn't see it. The food is not good, I didn't see the starry sky, I regret choosing this hotel.

Because it is an annex, we have to eat in the main restaurant in the morning and evening. The dishes are very rich. Because the hot water heater was damaged by the typhoon, we all went to the main hotel to bathe and soak in the hot springs, but each room in the Villa has its own small soaking pool. I would like to express my appreciation to the driver uncle of the annex. He was very efficient and polite every time he took us to and from the restaurant. Thank you very much to him.

It’s not a luxury ryokan and there’s only a few pictures and little info about the room. I don’t know what to expect but the photos taken by other guests around the property were truly beautiful. I stayed in the room “Shion” and it was one of the five (?) rooms that contained an en-suite bathroom. It looked like a dated traditional Japanese room in the hotel’s website, though I know that this ryokan was actually built and opened in the 90s, not an old property at all. It was located next to the nicely decorated coffee room, vending machines and close to the reception area. Dining place was just a little further. All connected under one roof. This is very important for us since it was rainy on the day we checked in. I was satisfied with the room’s decor. The room was more spacious than expected. Clean, cozy with a lovely scent of tea in the air. The in-room foot bath unique to this room was a nice touch and it was more convenient than those Kotatsu-style foot bath. We enjoyed it very much. The irori was not fired with charcoal but was covered. The arrangement is good since the charcoal fired hearth will make the room stuffy. I usually don’t like sleeping on tatami, but I slept soundly that night with the fluffy futon . Also I don’t hear any noise from the neighboring room or the traffic outside. This is not a top-tiered ryokan. You may well be aware that the number, size and quality of the towels provided cannot compare to those luxurious properties. There was no free mini-bar but just vending machines. The in-room rock bath was small and rough. There’s no butler, of course. If you have problem adjusting the temperature of your bath, you have to tell them before dinner. Dinner time is fixed at 1800 and you will certainly see other guests when you step out of your room. Nevertheless, our stay was comfortable. Staffs were polite and hospitable. The room was equipped with good heating devices, a fully automated toilet, a powerful hairdryer, and some good quality skincare, hair & body wash, which I wanted to buy. I was pleasantly surprised by these. The public and private baths were located in another side of the main building, where you need to pass through an outdoor moss-covered courtyard. We didn’t go to the public open-air bath but had checked out the private indoor baths, they’re rustic, just a bath & without any other facilities but looked interesting. Meals were served in a private room in the restaurant. It didn’t come with horse sashimi, crab, lobster or other sumptuous ingredients but it tasted good. The add-on premium Akashi beef, however, was not impressive. I decided to stay at a ryokan near the Kawabata street just because of the Yu Akari. However it turned out to be a very good experience though I still didn’t like to bump into other guests during my stay. Oyado Nishiyu is a great choice and the property has done a good job making their guests comfortable.

The room was very nice, although the price was a bit high. The room is large, elegantly decorated, and comes with an open-air bath. You can also choose to go to a large hot spring or a family hot spring, which is very suitable for people who love bathing. Another advantage of the room is that the Japanese-style room is used as a living space, for dining, making tea, etc., and the Western-style room is used for sleeping, so there is less residual smell of the food. The staff are friendly and attentive, and can pick you up and drop off from the bus stop. The sound insulation of old houses may not be very good, and the sound of sliding doors is more obvious. The environment is well maintained. The open-air bath at least catches all the bugs, but there are still fish that slip through the net. There are still some spider webs in some small places. It would be better to pay attention to them. The temperature is perfect for bathing here in autumn, and the entrance and lobby are very beautiful and antique. Unfortunately, it's not the time when the maple leaves turn red this time, otherwise it would be even more beautiful.

A very old and traditional Japanese hotel! The hotel is not big, with only twelve suites, but it has all the high-end facilities in the hotel, including wooden building structures, clean and comfortable wooden floors, small hot spring pools, indoor ones, cave ones, and outdoor open-air baths. Very comfortable and comfortable! There are also traditional Japanese dinners and breakfasts that are satisfying!

It's a Beautiful mountain lodging ryokan about 7 minutes by car from Kurokawa town center. It sits next to rice field. The entry walkway to main building was beautiful with different colors of tree leaves. There are several rooms, restaurant, gift shop, fireplace areas in lobby of main building. We stayed in the individual stand alone villa with private outdoor bath looking into courtyard. Rooms were very clean, comfortable, cozy and spacious. Staffs were more than just helpful and genuinely looking after our every needs. We got there earlier before check in time at 3pm. They held our luggage and drove us to town center despite we had our own car so that we could be free from worrying of driving in windy roads. There were 6 public onsen bath for guests to use. We didn't try them as we had our private one in room. But the thoughtful design of 1 men, 2 women and 3 family public baths impressed us. For guests who enjoy mingle with other travelers, there are library with piano, observatory room with telescope to see stars, and open fireplace sitting room. The meals were scrumptious and plentiful, using local ingredients even with home grown rice. We loved every bites. We will definitely return to this mountain retreat ryokan in different season for scenery and local food.

Ryokan with our spectacular. The hotel is very close to the hotel with a person at the entrance, indicating where to park, very close reception that explains everything and accompany you to the room, with tea service and sweets nothing more to reach. The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre and is located in the heart of the city centre. At the divorce, you are surprised by the shoes you gave when you arrived warm and thank you in cold days.

The hotel is hidden in the valley, the scenery is beautiful, and the beautiful maple leaves are seen. It is about 10 minutes by car from the Kurokawa Onsen Bus Station. There is a hotel shuttle service. Girls thought that they would eat out of the wall like many other hot spring hotels, so dinner and breakfast were really unsatisfactory. At the same time, since there is a shuttle bus from the hot spring town center, there is nothing to eat nearby. It is recommended that you prepare some snacks to prepare yourself from time to time! In addition, there is no good-looking yukata kimono. In short, the coat and cape are like the welcome in the hotel lobby, which is very disillusioned.
