Properties with Onsen in Niida

We had a new room and it was better than expected. The onsen is older but I enjoyed the outside section.

The staff were very nice and accommodating. The meals were very nice as well.

The Dinner and Breakfast is super delicious, also the staff is really friendly and nice! Private outdoor hot spring is amazing! 24 hour non stop natural hot spring keep the water hot in the bath!

We spent 3 nights at the Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nihonbashi Kayabacho hotel after arriving in Japan (There is another Fresa Inn in the area, so make sure this is where you have your reservation). It is a relatively modern, functional hotel sometimes referred to as a business hotel.  The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very small as is typical in Tokyo but very clean and functional.  The hotel is convenient to Tokyo station (20 minutes walking as a reference). After arriving on the Narita Express or by others means to Tokyo station, follow signs to the Tozai line (sky blue) subway. The easiest way to know which direction to go is to look at the numbers representing the stops.  The Tokyo station stop at Otemachi is T-9 and you want to go to T-7 Kayabacho. Leave the Kayabacho subway station via Exit 7 and the hotel is just around the corner.  From Kayabaco or the nearby Nihonbashi station, you can get all around Tokyo on the highly efficient subway system.  Use a Suica, Welcome Suica or Pasmo card to enter and exit subways and avoid the hassle of figuring out which ticket to buy or how much they coat. Just tap and go.  Enjoy. Kokura,Onsen EXPERIENCE JAPAN LIKE THE JAPANESE We decided to spend a couple of days in central Kyushu to enjoy a traditional Japanese ryokan experience. Boy, was that a great call! I88We stayed at the Yama no Yado Shinmeikan  in the Kokura Onsen area, which is an hour north of Aso city by bus. The ryokan is 130 years old but is clean and well-maintained. It features a total of 5 unique onsens, including one carved into a cave.  The ambiance is terrific and the staff is super friendly and helpful.  The ryokan is located along a flowing river and the sound of running water adds to the relaxing quality of the stay.  (The Fuji room is best). All accommodations are traditional Japanese tatami rooms which are made up for sleep each night by the staff as you enjoy the onsen baths.

The atmosphere is amazing at the Ryokan and the service provided by the staff is excellent ! There are many outdoor baths as well that you can enjoy. Our private bath in our room was very nice. The food was very good and the menu was explained in english too.

Gorgeous traditional ryokan, with beautifully appointed rooms—we had one of the en-suite onsen baths, and I highly recommend it! The dinners and breakfasts were sumptuous and almost too much food, all very delicious. The staff is friendly, impeccable, and very helpful. The area itself is also lovely, with plenty of shops and nearby onsens to explore.

This was one of 4 ryokan that we stayed in during our tour of Kyushu. It was the cheapest and the most informal. It is also a little off the beaten track, but you can get picked up and dropped off at the local station. It has the feel of a mountain cabin, with old furniture and decor. It is, however, wonderfully homely and the owners are just the loveliest people. It also has 4 family onsen, that you can lock for privacy. The food is excellent, and there is a lot of it. The current owner is the third generation, and speaks excellent English.

Everything. Very nice and helpful staff (a man drove me to another village to catch a bus to Aso). Beautiful ryokan which makes you slowing down a little bit. Amazing outdoor onsen, the smallest private one was lovely too. Delicious food!
