Special, warm ryokan stay
We absolutely loved our stay. The setting was gorgeous. The onsens were so lovely. The food was great and the service was warm and friendly. We would highly recommend it. My only issue was that the bed and and pillow were both very hard.

Absolutely lovely ryokan in Kurokawa Onsen. It is located fairly centrally, right by the bus stop and a short walk to the main shopping area. We booked a room with a private onsen. It was beautiful, spacious, and immaculately clean. Meals were served in the room, and we were given a choice of the time we wanted to have them. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The baths were lovely, with both an indoor and outdoor open air portion. They are tattoo friendly. The staff were all very kind and welcoming.

Great stay overall. Food was excellent and onsen was great. There’s private onsen available for reservation and it’s free. Staff were very courteous and helpful. There’s nothing around the ryokan so don’t expect to have a shopping street there.

Great stay in Kurokawa Onsen
We had a really enjoyable and pleasant stay. This onsen maintains a high level of professionalism while not losing any of its charm. The service was absolutely outstanding from the moment we arrived. The staff were attentive and lovely. The room was both charming and comfortable, while the food was one of the best we’ve had during our stay in Kyushu. The only small minor complaint we had was the group of Korean ladies being loud and disruptive in the otherwise quiet and peaceful bath and surroundings, and using their feet to turn on the shower tap, but that shouldn’t take away from an otherwise amazing experience.

The staff here made my stay extremely wonderful - they just went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and attend to my every request. Really appreciate that they try to communicate in English as well. I stayed in Kiku room which had a private bath. The room was spotless, beautiful and bright with a view of a small garden, really roomy and well planned, and the private indoor bath was a nice little luxury. The kaiseki meals are a mix of western and traditional japanese touches, with hits and misses that give an overall satisfactory experience. The basashi was fantastic, and when I asked for it again the next dinner they gave me a larger portion! The onsen is shaded and above a tiny rapid, facing a large hotel across the bank. It’s a nice quick pre/post-meal soak but I’d recommend heading to the other more spectacular and secluded onsens on the outskirts. The free red bean soup served in reception area is super good. The common areas in this ryokan are a tad small and nothing to rave about though. Overall I had a very pleasing experience. Again, I felt truly touched by the staff who were so warm, sincere and helpful. They made me feel like I was the only guest there when the place was booked full. I feel this is a solid place to get an introduction to the ryokan/onsen experience. Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime Ryokan Wakaba!

What a treat to stay here! Some staff spoke English and those that didn’t were very patient with us (we don’t speak any Japanese). The private bath was spacious and the main bath had a lovely outdoor area that we both enjoyed. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding. We wish we had stayed two nights instead of just one. We highly recommend.
