Aso District Hotels with Parking

This place is simply gorgeous. The hotel is beautifully designed to give a real zen feeling. The room was spacious enough for a family, the bed was plush (they also had tatami for those interested) and they even offered Kose skincare products in the room. It had big sliding doors that offered its own Japanese garden and quality tea set to brew your own tea in the room. The breakfast was simple but wholesome (not a single fried food in sight) and offering fresh ingredients. The only drawbacks for me was 1) there were no shower in the room, so you had to use the public bathing area and 2) this ryokan is a fair bit away from Kurokawa Onsen so it is an inconvenient if you’re looking to do some onsen-hopping. Having your own car would be ideal. If you have the time, I would highly recommend staying at the Hanashoan to experience some relaxing time.

Really loved it! The traditional interior, yukatas, open-air hot spring, and huge breakfast were all highlights. The downsides were a broken shower in the public onsen and nowhere to relax in the evenings besides your own room. There are many restaurants nearby, but only one small convenience store. They offer a free shuttle, but it's only a 7-minute downhill walk from the bus stop. The private onsens with river views, each in a different style, were absolutely perfect.

The room was just okay, but the location on the street was convenient for transportation. Check-out was at 10 AM (usually 11 AM), and it happened to be raining that day. I was planning to switch hotels, but the next one wouldn't allow check-in until 3 PM, so I was left with nothing to do but find shelter from the rain. The meals were also very basic. So, comparatively speaking, the value for money was quite poor. However, the hotel service was good, and the staff were enthusiastic and attentive.

Really nice place to stay in, exclusive experience, you don’t really need to do any onsen hoping if you stay here, one private onsen booking per day which means 2 booking for one night stay and you have got guest only public onsen which alternate each day. They were kind enough to accommodate our vegetarian diet even though they weren’t too happy about that because they had to change their whole menu, so I would suggest checking with them before making the booking. Overall, definitely worth it.

Impeccable service, they were ready to welcome us on check in, arranging for luggage to be carried to our rooms while quickly settling our check in and patiently explained their amenities. Staying at their hotel means we can also use the onsen of their two sister hotel’s public onsen - one just opposite and the other one in Kurokawa onsen town (featuring cave onsens). But we look the onsen in this hotel best as the outdoor onsen overlooks a river and waterfalls. Truly an amazing experience. Our stay included breakfast and dinner, and while Ryokan meals are always sumptuous, we felt the taste and variety were slightly underwhelming, but still delicious. Rooms were spacious with great amenities and ours even had a tea room. Overall a highly recommended hotel, especially if you are driving.

I love the interior of this resort. The staff members are really friendly and helpful. I had little knowledge in selecting local onsen resort, so my initial expectation was not high. Much to my surprise, I love everything this hotel has had. Facility wise everything looks brand new. The room is spacious and comfy. The public bath and indoor onsen are big and clean. As for the meals, the presentations were good and they were delicious. I have no complaint about it. Keep up with the good work. Look forward to staying there again.

The whole experience was fantastic! The inn lives up to its name, surrounded by mountains and forests, with the sound of the river and the aroma of burning longan wood, taking the sensory experience to another level! Every service was incredibly attentive! Unfortunately, I couldn't eat much, but both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious! After a hot spring bath, you absolutely must try the Kurokawa milk and coffee milk! It was superb and so enjoyable! The only downside is that it's a bit far from town, but having the shuttle service is really great! I'll definitely visit again if I get the chance, and staying for a few nights would be even more enjoyable!

This hotel is right in the heart of town, with the famous cream puff shop directly outside. The intersection always has people sitting and enjoying sweets. The town is very tourist-friendly, with many benches along the road to rest your feet. There are even dedicated pavilions and foot baths for visitors to relax in. The private onsen on the upper floor is fantastic, with several facing a bamboo forest, which is incredibly relaxing. There's also a standing bath, with steps leading down, which is quite interesting. To get to the hotel's public male and female baths, you cross a small bridge within the hotel. Below the bridge is a stream, and sitting on the bamboo chairs on the bridge offers a unique view. However, the female private onsen requires climbing many steps, which is a bit inconvenient when wearing slippers. Dinner was served in the room, but the disposable chopsticks and wet wipes detracted from the experience.

Tucked away deep in Kurokawa Onsen, a bit of a walk from the main hot spring street. This hotel only has eight rooms, all of which are private, detached suites, each with its own private onsen. I stayed in the Shion room, which was recommended by Doubao, and overall, I had a great experience, especially with the meals – they were truly exceptional. The only downside was that there were quite a few bugs in the summer, so I had to catch them myself at night.

Very satisfied, I was a little worried about seeing some messages before I came, but our own experience was still very good. I booked two rooms, the environment was quiet and comfortable, the room was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable, so that the quality of sleep was very good. The room has private soup and open air. The food is also very rich. If you have time to have money, you may wish to stay for two days and have a good rest. The boss and all employees are very enthusiastic, but the earliest check in is 2:30pm. If you arrive early, you have to wait, so pay attention to the time.
