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.

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 stay is wonderful. Staffs are polite, helpful and caring, some can speak English fluently. The food is amazing, much better than other hot spring hotels. There are two private hot springs in the hotel, each room can book once with no charge. Besides, there are public hot springs where residents can use without reservation. I highly recommend this hotel to all who will visit Kurokawa spa.

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.

Wakaba Ryokan is located on the edge of very quaint village with numerous onsen concentrated in one area, where the peaceful sound of the river and steam rising up all around you. The Japanese breakfast was very good. Having been to Japan 14 times, I can say Wakaba Ryokan is reasonably priced and has exceptional service provided by a very warm staff, with several of them being able to communicate clearly, in English.

Absolutely worth the stay! Great hospitality, clean & tidy, delicious breakfast & dinner. There is a shared hot spring at the ryokan, and also 2 private hot tubs which you can reserve for free. My room is 102 Yuri with a private hot tub. The room is very spacious and clean. The staff would prepare the futon beds for you while you have dinner, and put them away in the morning when you have breakfast. Most staff speak very good English and one lady who speaks Mandarin is very diligent and helpful. The only one thing I would suggest is the staff may acquire more knowledge of Mt. Aso tourist information, as I was told by a staff that the crater area was closed for the day, but later I found it's closed on and off during the day depending on the changing levels of poisonous gas, so I decided to go there and managed to visit the crater areas twice (during my 1st visit there's an alarm to ask you to evacuate immediately but some time later it opened again). So for tourists who are flexible with their itinerary and especially those who are driving, you can check the Mt. Aso status online from time to time to decide if you should go there.

Great presentation. We had a private bath to use any time. Otherwise you need to book a private, shared bath or use public bath. Lots of sea food to eat if you love that. Big rooms, unusual in Japan.Loved it.
