BBQ meals were great but I think I undercooked the chicken. Totally my fault, but if I fully cooked it, seemed a bit tough. Wagyu was super fatty so be warned if you’re eating it on your own, it’s a lot of fat!! ¥9000 for a solo person in the tree house would be a little steep I think, but they gave me an on-the-day discount since I was on my own.

Great location, lovely staff speaking both English and Japanese. I initially booked the dorm but it was quite full and felt stuffy so I upgraded to the treehouse which was great. Super comfortable (although I was there alone so I doubled up the futon and duvets, I wonder if it would be a little less comfortable if used as single)

nothing!

One of our best place we have been in Japan, suuuuper friendly staff and amazing location on the river! My girlfriend had a little accident on her harm, so she culdn't climb to one of our little house and Alex gave us a cottage for the same price...pity we couldn't stay more! High recommended!

Lots of extra activities on site to take part in, although the price point for some of them seems slightly steep. Not a bad thing necessarily, however if you’re planning on experiencing everything the lodge has to offer such as the saunas or bike rental, prepare to shell out some additional cash on top of your accommodation fees.

Location was stunning, with a beautiful riverside setting in a serene little valley. Treehouse accommodation was warm and cozy, and a very unique experience that I’d recommend to anyone looking to get out of the city and enjoy the countryside. Staff was helpful, and friendly and the BBQ beef experience was expensive but very high quality A5 Wagyu, and fresh local produce. Plus, the house made pickled radishes were a lovely addition to the meal.

Breakfast was amazing, staff was over the top friendly and helpful - they even will pick you up from the train station and drive you to and from the grocery store.

Nothing really.. everything was great!

We had such a lovely time at Lodge Kiyokawa. Arrived a bit late after a long drive and Yuki was very helpful checking us in. The wooden 'huts' are a lot of fun, a great size, air conditioned and have fairly comfortable futon style beds. The property is in a really nice area right on the river with options for bike hire, rafting, saunas and much more. Unfortunately we didn't get time to explore it all, but we'll definitely be back!

The barbecue grill cost more than the room however they did give me plenty of charcoal and a torch to light it with and cleaning the barbecue grill was not my responsibility something I am just not used to however I see the appeal

Fresh mountain Air and a lovely River fresh fruit everywhere

The staff, location and facilities were all fantastic. We felt comfortable and would love to have extended our stay. Next year we plan to stay a 2-3 nights to fully relax in such a great location. The sauna (Joki) was also any amazing experience and Alex was a great host. Definitely recommended.

Not really a big deal but there was no hair conditioner in the showers

There was so much to like about Lodge Kiyokawa! I loved the unique design of the cabins and treehouses, there were varied activities offered, the local food was delicious, the staff were kind and went above and beyond, and the surrounding area was beautiful! Oh, and the shower pressure and temperature was perfect! Besides recommending a stay here, I also recommend trying the Finnish sauna - or at least take a dip in the river! 🔥🥶

What i didn’t like is not staying longer!

Lodge Kiyokawa is a very peaceful and beautiful “glamping” site. Very clean and the crew were very friendly.

Futons not really comfortable.

Great quiet place with lots of facilities & activities! We had a great local dinner & breakfast. We had a nice conversation with other guests at the campfire in the evening. We regretted we didn't stay for more nights to enjoy the river and try out the tent sauna or other activities.

Simply the most amazing river side lodge in the heart of pristine nature - we stayed in a tree hut for 2 nights - felt like an adventure camping but with all the modern day comforts. Tree hut - in hut you get wall sockets to charge your devices, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, window shutters to let in the fresh crisp forest air, super clean wooden floor boards and futon bedding. Even though you are using a shared toilet and shower - these were both super hygienic, personal care essentials all provided and organised. Food - there’s a small restaurant that serves up a good hearty breakfast and dinner sets. Being city folk, we thoroughly enjoyed the “camp like with city comforts” experience! The staff, Yuki, Alex and Merdina, were always on site to make you feel welcomed, they took the effort to chit chat, offer help etc. Yuki went out of his way to fetch us to the starting point of our walking trails and also to see the breathtakingly picturesque Chinda waterfalls. Such a special memorable experience I hope to repeat again! Thank you again kiyokawa lodge!

Besides this the area is very beautiful and this is worth visiting if you are a Nature lover. Looking forward to coming back here some day! Thanks from Louise and Emma.

Very nice location and the staff was very friendly. We slept in a small hut and slept very well during our 2 nights there. The heating/cooling in the room made our stay very comfortable.

It's a bit far out of town, but they do rent electric bikes, so it's not too difficult to get into town. They also provided a pick-up and drop-off service from the train station.

I had a great time staying here. The staff were all so nice! The food was amazing, I did the breakfast as well as the chicken and beef for dinner, and everything tasted amazing. The activities were a lot of fun, I tried the sauna, rented bikes to go to the waterfall and also rented the charcoal grill for dinner one night. I think everything was very reasonably priced. If I came back to Kyushu, I would stay here again.

This was one of the coolest places I have ever stayed at!!! If I could give it 6 stars I would. It's so beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. The staff there is amazing, they went way above and beyond to make sure everyone in our party had an amazing time. The owners Alex and Yuki are just genuinely kind and caring people. There is so much to see and do in the area, I'll have to stay much longer next time. If you're thinking about it, book this place and you won't regret it.
