It is near Kurokawa Onsen, so it offers a quieter and more quaint Japanese hot spring experience. As soon as the car arrived, they greeted you at the door and took your luggage to your room. The check-in steward introduced in detail the starry sky room, saki and tea house, library, men's bath, women's bath, private bath and other public places. The most amazing thing is the food here. The traditional Japanese environment and dining are rich, exquisite and delicious. The ingredients are extremely fresh and creative. The horse meat sashimi is surprisingly delicious; the traditional salt-grilled fish is also excellent. I like the private bath rooms here. They are big enough, with indoor and outdoor private baths, surrounded by green trees and sunshine. The space is very private. The hot spring water temperature here is high, so it should be more comfortable in autumn and winter.

因為要去黑川温泉鄉,而黑川想住的幾家都客滿,就像開盲盒一般,訂了離黑川温泉街一公里以外的小田温泉山忍酒店,沒曾想,盲盒開得有驚喜。 1、這家酒店堪稱英語友好酒店,前台的姑娘,英語相當地道,晚餐的服務生,也都能用英語服務。晚上八點半,酒店有個觀星活動,二層樓頂,一位看不小清年紀的男子帶領大家觀星,竟然能用英語解説。 2、日本温泉酒店大多環境逼仄,特別是那些擠在知名温泉街的酒店,更是螺絲殼裡做道場,而這一家佔地不小,稱得上是園林中的酒店,酒店氣質中西合壁,除了酒店必備設施,還有閲覽室,有鋼琴,我們到達時,有人正在彈琴,前台的姑娘説,這是一位世界知名的鋼琴家在這裏渡假,當然,鋼琴家住店是付費的,我們欣賞是免費的。酒店還有觀星台,有一台口徑粗如水桶的天文望遠鏡。 3、酒店衹有12間客房,我們住的是帶私湯的房子,房子出乎意料,有點大,有卧室,有客廳,有小廚房,有院子,有室內室外兩個泡池。卧室裏是兩張西式床,床下有輪子,可能是酒店覺得我們這些外國人睡不慣榻榻米,專門安排了床。 4、除了酒店客房裡的私湯,還有六處公共泡池,男湯兩處,一室內一露天,女湯一處,是露天的,還有三間小一點的私湯,衹要沒人,就可以進去。因為泡湯的人少,我把除了女湯以外的池子挨個泡了一輪,湯質相當好。 5、酒店一側是河川和稻田,田裡灌滿了水,有小型農機正在裏面耕作,等秧苗插上,當有另外一番景緻。酒店裡面有兩間吸煙室,我不抽煙,還是好奇打開了一間,沒想到,裏面是一把破破爛爛的椅子,對煙民的態度,通過這把椅子表達得淋漓盡致。 6、一泊二食,兩餐都很精緻,餐廳的窗外,彷彿畫卷,美景美食,如在畫中,成為一個完整的藝術品,讓人忍不住多喝了幾杯清酒。早餐有什麼都不加的正宗白粥,讓我的中國胃大得安慰。酒店門口,就是巴士站,站旁有兩家餐廳和一家商店,酒店介紹説,兩家餐廳都不錯,如果不在酒店吃飯,可以一試。 7、很多酒店住過之後,覺得很好,但不想再來,而山忍,是一間讓人想要再來的酒店。

My husband and I stayed here for one night in Dec 2023 which is absolutely one of the best parts of our Kyushu trip. The staff called us a day before to double confirm our arrival time, food allergy etc which shows their sincerity. Upon arrival the staff greeted us with warm smile, helped us took the luggage and guided us through the main facilities of the Ryokan. Appreciated their way of showing us the English translation using mobile so that we could easily understand what they wanted to express. We felt so welcomed by the hot tea and little Japanese snack served inside the room. We loved our room so much which is spotless with very cozy setting. Both private and public indoor and open air onsens are nice and clean. The dinner and breakfast were cooked with fresh local ingredients and were very scrumptious. After dinner, we had star gazing at the roof of the Ryokan which was so impressive due to the location of the Ryokan we saw so many beautiful stars. We also enjoyed hot tea and sake offered at an authentic Japanese corner with a charcoal pot in the middle which made us felt so warm. All in all, everything, from staff, room, onsen, food etc, of this Ryokan is impeccable and we would definitely come back again if we are visiting this place again in the future

The approach from the entrance to the inn to the building is very beautiful and makes me excited. I visited during the rainy season, but I enjoyed the rice terraces and the beautiful green mountain scenery from the restaurant and the library inside the building. The hot spring water is gentle on the skin and I could soak in it all the time. The women's bath has an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and there are many private baths. You can enjoy a variety of Kumamoto ingredients in the food. Each dish is carefully prepared and delicious. I stayed for two nights and looked forward to dinner and breakfast. Of course the food was great, but what surprised me was how delicious the white rice was! It is said to be rice called Kuma-san no Kagayaki from Oguni, and the warm rice and rice balls for midnight snack are very delicious. It's been a while since I've eaten so much rice, such as rice with egg on top and rice balls. The gauze pajamas provided as amenities are also comfortable. There are many recommended spots to drive around in the area, such as Oguni, Aso, and Kuju, and there are many hot springs with different sources nearby, which is very fun. It's nice to relax at the inn, and if the weather is good, you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons. Thank you to the landlady and all the staff for your warm hospitality. I'll definitely come back in another season.
