Recent Reviews in Yamakawa Onsen

Yufuin Hoteiya

10/10 Excellent

"I felt very much at home and well taken care of. Hotel had everything we needed, really enjoyed our private outdoor bath. Food was delicious. Easy access with free parking. Short walk to main shopping street"

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, it’s clean, quiet and perfect for onsen. Staff are very friendly and helpful to carry our luggage to the room. There’s a private onsen if you want some privacy. I would recommend"

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"Kamenoi is a large resort that offers great breakfast and dinner, large indoor and outdoor baths, friendly staff"

Rakuten STAY VILLA Yufuin Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer"

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

8/10 Good

"Liked: Large rooms Did not like: Rigid dining schedule. Food, while plentiful and tasty, was served at a fast pace as the time available for dinner is limited. Private onsen not worthwhile -- water very hot and space cramped. No after dinner option to socialize. Bar very limited and closes (hard close) at 9 pm. Upon asking what people do in the evening we were told-- Onsen (bathe)! It is not everyone's preference to take a hot bath after dinner."

Gekkoju Kurokawa

10/10 Excellent

"It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities. The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!"

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Ichinoi

10/10 Excellent

"Nice ryokan, quiet and clean. The staff are very helpful. They have both public and private onsen."

Nanjyoen

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing experience to stay here. Traditional ryokan in such a beautiful setting. The staff was super friendly and nice, too."

Yusai Bekkan

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious traditional style room. Toilet was somehow a bit too small though, not particularly comfortable to use. Basin (for hand washing after using toilet) was then on the other side of the room which was a bit inconvenient. Hot spring facilities were at a different building (much newer and modern) which were 2 mins walk away. That was a slight problem when it was raining heavily when we were there. Parking was not great for our bigger car (RAV4 size type SUV). Tight space and lot of guests made parking very difficult. During golden week, when we stayed there, dining options at night were very limited in nearby regions."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Yamakawa Onsen?

The best area to stay in Yamakawa Onsen is within the small village itself, as it's the heart of the hot spring experience.The village is compact, located in the Aso caldera, and is primarily centred around the main street where most of the ryokan (traditional Japanese inns) and a few local eateries are located. It's a peaceful area known for its traditional Japanese architecture and the pervasive scent of sulfur from the hot springs.For couples seeking a tranquil and authentic Japanese hot spring retreat, staying directly in Yamakawa Onsen is ideal. You'll have immediate access to the various public and private baths offered by the ryokan, allowing for a relaxing and intimate escape. The focus here is on unwinding, enjoying the therapeutic waters, and indulging in exquisite multi-course meals served at your accommodation.Travellers looking for a quiet getaway will also find Yamakawa Onsen perfect. The village offers a slower pace of life, with opportunities for gentle strolls and enjoying the natural surroundings.

When is the best time to go to Yamakawa Onsen?

The best time to visit Yamakawa Onsen is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months.Spring offers mild temperatures and the beautiful cherry blossoms, which typically bloom in late March or early April. It's a pleasant time for outdoor activities and enjoying the scenic drive to the onsen.Autumn provides comfortable weather with clear skies and stunning autumn foliage, particularly from late October to mid-November. The colourful leaves create a picturesque backdrop for relaxing in the outdoor hot springs.While summer (June to August) can be warm and humid, and winter (December to February) can be cold with occasional snow, both seasons still offer great experiences. Summer provides lush greenery, and winter allows for the serene experience of soaking in a hot spring while surrounded by snow.
