This is the best place I have ever stayed in OITA. The house is very nice and very cozy. It is very warm and the place is very beautiful! Even my mum and dad who do not normally say anything was very vocal how much they love the place. The owners were very helpful and very warm people too. Just a note that you cannot go here without a car because it is in the middle of the forest. But renting a car and going here was the best decision we have made for our whole Fukuoka trip!

Breakfast and dinner that was provided was really good. Staff was really attentive and welcoming as well. They prepared decaf tea for us, even making sure that the meal was catered to what you asked for (no raw food, no beef etc). They helped us to parked the car, and even help to clean the exterior of our car! Room was great to experience local culture. Private onsen facilities was wonderful as well, just need to queue for it.
Located in Minamioguni, Kurasako Onsen Sakura offers villas with natural hot spring baths in the mountains.

Our stay at Fumoto Ryokan was absolutely incredible. The staff did a fantastic job throughout our stay and making sure every detail of the trip was just perfect. Our room had a wonderful view of the adjacent river and was so comfortable and spacious - a nice change of pace after traveling Japans big cities. Even as a very tall guy, they provided me with an appropriate Yukuta and I could enjoy the onsen experience in full. The baths themselves are amazing - both the shared outdoor one and the private bath rooms. There are plenty of the latter, so if you prefer your privacy you‘ll have plenty of options, some of them even with outdoor views. Then there is the food. The courses are absolutely delicious and so plentiful, that we found ourselves struggling to finish all of it sometimes. The quality of the dishes and the presentation is so high, the (not cheap) room price seems very reasonable in hindsight. To sum it up: this was a 10/10 experience and we can’t wait to come back someday.

Gosyo Gekkoujyo is an outstanding experience from start to finish. The exceptional staff made us feel well cared for throughout our stay. Our room had an outdoor cave onsen that we never wanted to leave. The food was the highlight - we spent over four hours a day eating. That said, if you don’t enjoy all things Japanese then this might not be the place for you.
Located along Tanohara River and surrounded by tranquil nature in Kurokawa Onsen hot spring area, Oku no Yu Ryokan offers charming Japanese-style accommodations and various hot spring baths.

The location, the onsen facilities, the view. We especially like the friendliness & warmth of the staff, always ready to help. The food was also excellent.

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.
