Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Ichinoi  

Tucked into Kurokawa Onsen in Minamioguni, this ryokan sits minutes from Aso Kuju National Park and the Hiranodai Kogen Observation Deck. It’s a short drive to Meotodaki Fall and steps from Yamakawa Onsen; Kumamoto Airport is about 61 km away.

A compact ryokan with 14 air-conditioned rooms, Ichinoi blends onsen tradition with modern comforts. Rooms include refrigerators, electric kettles, TVs and slippers, plus safes; bathrooms feature shower/tub combos, bidets and complimentary toiletries. Daily housekeeping keeps things tidy and complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected.

Soak in on-site hot springs and enjoy complimentary wireless internet. Free self-parking is available, and the area offers plenty of outdoor recreation for hikers and sightseers. Expect mountain-air mornings and onsen steam to start the day.

Practical touches include luggage storage, a safe-deposit box at the front desk and a water dispenser. Free self-parking is onsite; note the front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Local-cuisine breakfasts are served daily from 8:00–9:00 AM for a fee, offering regional flavors to kick off your day.
