Kurokawa Onsen Yamabiko Inn Yamamizuki
Kumamoto Prefecture／Kurokawa OnsenEnjoy the seasonal flavors at a Property featuring open-air baths along the Oku-Kurokawa stream.
Located in Kurokawa Onsen, Okukurokawa is surrounded by deep nature. A stream flows, trees flourish, and the scenery showcases the changing seasons. Within this setting lies the property Yamamizuki at Kurokawa Onsen. True to its name, "Mountain Retreat," take your time to relax and feel the transitions of nature.
I stayed here with my parents and cousin. It was my first time in Kurokawa Onsen, and it’s a truly wonderful place. Among the many Accommodations, “Yamamizuki” was a Ryokan that left us extremely satisfied.[Setting & Baths]The rain we had been worried about never came, so we were able to relax and take our time. Since it was the perfect season, we were moved to be able to watch fireflies from the bath. I also recommend visiting in June.[Meals]Both the portion size and taste were ideal. Rather than the over-the-top extravagance that can be common at a Ryokan, the dishes felt genuinely “just right,” with thoughtful attention throughout.[Hospitality & Service]There seemed to be many international staff members, but their sincerity really came through, and their service was pleasant. With a comfortable sense of distance—not too close, not too far—the hospitality was also exactly “just right.”My parents and cousin were delighted as well, which I think says it all. I would love to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.
ojisan chann... 6/22/2026Thank you for hosting us for two nights.I have food allergies, and I truly appreciate that you accommodated all of them.The meals, the Room, and the Onsen were all wonderful, making these days truly memorable. It was lovely to chat with the staff who served our meals, and their warm smiles made us feel at home. The Onsen had breathtaking views, and we also enjoyed the Onsen at your sister property. The only small issue was that some of the signposted directions were a bit hard to understand, so we got lost a few times. It would be even better if the signage were clearer for first-time visitors.Since it is a little deep in the mountains, extra care is needed when driving on narrow roads, but being away from the busy hot spring town also made for a calm and relaxing stay.What impressed me most was how kind everyone was and how they always greeted us with a smile. I would love to stay again if I have the chance.

Introduction of the Accommodation
While expensive sashimi and beautifully garnished dishes are important, we prioritize serving ingredients grown in the mountains with careful attention to temperature. We also focus on caring for the body through food, such as using pesticide-free rice cultivated with bamboo vinegar and body-friendly rock salt.
Each Room features unique layouts and designs, offering distinct charm, but all provide a warm atmosphere with tatami and wood, where you can enjoy leisurely moments and conversations with loved ones.
