Lovely cabin with two big rooms in a wooded location on a hillside. We would have been happy with only one room but the owner (who spoke English) thought that was too small! There was also a veranda to sit on but it was too cold in November. There was a sink and a toilet in both rooms. There was a private bath big enough for 2 in a cabin 10m away.
The food was amazing. Really top notch cooking. Deserved a Michelin star! Don’t miss out on the food. I think it was 3,800 yen for dinner.

Very nice traditional ryokan with public bath and family bath. We had a private bath in our room, which we enjoyed a lot. Beds were comfortable, food was very nice. Other onsen can be visited in walking distance.

What an extraordinary stay! We had one of our best nights in Japan at Okyakuya!
From the first minute the service was outstanding, our baggage was transported to our room, car parked. Great room, even tough traditional it was modernized keeping its original charm.
Both dinner and breakfast where amongst the best we had in any Ryokan we stayed at.
After checking out we where offered additional towels as we wanted to explorer other Onsens in town

Location is in a quaint onsen town with plenty of onsen to try. You can get the pass that last for 6 months 3 onsen or 2 onsen/ snack at the information centre.
We got free access to the sister hotel /onsen just for staying here.
The kaiseki meal on the first night was insane. The sake was incredible. The server from Myanmar was great and very friendly.
Room was warm and futons comfortable, the view was also great. Onsen choice at this ryokan was also amazing, especially the outdoor onsen, we booked it twice.
My husband is very tall and they were able to give him a larger / taller Yukata to wear which was very nice of them.
Free loose leaf green tea in the rooms.
Surrounded by forest, tranquil Yamashinobu features public and private hot spring baths, an astronomical observatory and a piano.

The onsens are great.
The staff is amazing! We forgot a coat and they packed ir and send it to our adress, the package was neat.
The food is also great, usually I am not a big fan of Japanese style breakfast, but here it was so delicious that it did not bothered me at all.
The portions of food are quite big.

Getting around is easiest with a car, but note that it's a small mountain town so roads can be narrow--a smaller rental car would be a good choice for visiting tourists. There's not a lot of convenience shops but local produce is glorious and cheap. You can do many hiking/walking daytrips based here into the Kuju mountains and Aso area. We visited in spring, so roads were clear but I'm not sure how conditions would be in winter.

This small town was very tranquil and relaxing with many hot spring baths available to experience and enjoy. Easy to walk around and visit the many small shops in the town. The Okyakuya Inn, which I stayed at, was perfect with a traditional tatami room and futons and both dinner and breakfast course meals were delicious serving dishes made with local ingredients. The staff were also great and friendly.

What I like most is the countryside surrounding and nice peoples. What I may want the area to improve is/are : more shops, don't close so early, if possible, pls get one convenient store, and lastly roads are very narrow, so driver must be careful.

The view, and the vibe surrounding aso and this region is just beautiful. Aka-ushi(red beef) tasted phenomenal, and would visit again. Would stay around Kurokawa Onsen, the next time since the first visit there was much better in terms of the aesthetics.

Great place to go onsen hopping.
Great place to go onsen hopping. Lots of ryokans with different types of onsens to chose from. Easier to get to in a car but not impossible by local buses. This area is in the Aso National Park. Lots of walk trails and beautiful weather in November.

It’s a bit unfair going there you get this amazing view of the area very steep mountains alongside lakes and riverbeds. Then when you are finally driving home, you get slap with a different view of the mountains and lakes riverbeds but it’s 10x better than you remember from driving up. It will be very hard to leave.
