This was the most charming, hospitable, beautiful and unforgettable Ryokan in Japan! The meals were so well thought out and crafted. Every little dish was delicious. We felt the care and love from the kitchen. We stayed in the room with a private onsen. Highly recommend this place.

This was an amazing experience. The complex is vast, with numerous onsen options, great food and service. Time slows down here and this is the first accommodation we were sad to leave.

Staff and food services were excellent. Food were delicious. Room cleanliness were disappointed because spider webs noted on room ceiling fan and poles, and a live big cockroach found inside the closet.

Amazing property walking distance to town. Helpful staff. Having an in room hot spring bath was cool.

A beautiful inn in the heart of Kurokawa Onsen, just steps away from the shops and the Information Center. The grounds are beautifully appointed, and the selection of private chartered baths is wonderful. The public baths are spacious and comfortable. The atmosphere is quiet and elegant, so if you are looking for something more casual this may not be the place for you; but if you want a luxury experience this is it.

Staffs are very welcoming and friendly. Feels great to stay at this hotel.

This is the best onsen hotel I have ever tried. If I can give them 6 stars, they deserve it. Not only service is good, food, decoration and amenities, as well as onsen are far more beyond my expectation. I would love to come back again. If only they sell their body soap, it will be even better because it’s quality is high and smell good.

We had a wonderful time at Noshiyu, Environment was sooo pretty, there was several different type of Bath (Onsen), we was able to enjoy within a property. Also, Food was perfectly prepared. I would love to come back again with my friends and family!

Very beautiful property with very helpful and kind staff. Very relaxing. I highly recommend

Nice traditional ryokan

We stayed one night in a room with an indoor bath - lovely experience. The coursed summer dinner menu was filled with various seafood dishes and beef with a cauliflower puree with burnt creme for dessert. The breakfast was in typical Japanese style - fresh fish, rice, miso, egg, pickles and so much more. Both the indoor and outdoor shared baths were lovely especially the outdoor bath. We didn't try any of the family baths since we had one in our room. The rooms are older but that didn't take away from the experience and the grounds were beautiful. Service was attentive and friendly. Would stay here again.

Very good experience & they even provide me valet service to park my car. They greet me with welcome drink and snacks & explain clearly on the facilities upon arrival. Good onsen experience with indoor & outdoor views. It is sad that the time i am visiting is on early July which is rainy season and i cant take full staying & onsen experience there. The breakfast prepared is also very unique & tasty.

Absolutely amazing!! The place was in a cozy/pretty area. We took a stroll at night and enjoyed the nice little village. It had multiple outside and inside onsens on the premise in addition to the private onsen in our room. Other amebtities including bar and cafe were also very nice. Most importantly the food totally blew us away.. I will definitely be back here next time I am in the fukuoka area!

Our first trip to Kurogawa to enjoy Onsen. We decided on a rustic and traditional property. Oyado Noshiyu fits perfectly. Staff very courteous and helpful. Service standard excellent. Dinner was great with a keiseki spread. Breakfast was simple but very adequate. There was a Onsen in our room which provides privacy. But the open Onsen is also great. There is a waiting room for sit and chat with free coffee self service. Property is on hill slope away from main area but very walkable and convenient. Strongly recommended.

they ask to declare food allergies but then told us that its impossible to make their food without MSG which we have an allergy too. It resulted in a 1 hour conversation which was a waste of time. Cutomer service was terrible. WILL NOT RETURN

This onsen resort could charge twice the amount and still be worth every Yen. The garden grounds are out of a movie. Our bi-level suite with in-suite onsen is a dream. You won’t find a better outdoor onsen anywhere in Japan. The food quality was fantastic. Amount of food literally too much at dinner, if management reads this. Service top notch. Like to give a shout out to Yuki, our dinner server. I did not want to leave!!!!!

Truly exceptional ryokan. I stayed for 3 nights and wished I could extend my stay. Tranquility, the food, the onsen, the room, the staff - could not ask for anything better. Ryokan is old but maintained meticulously, room is literally speckless. Facilities include a coffee shop and a lounge, both which are consistent with the traditional Japanese ambience of the ryokan - great places to spend some "me time" or chat away with your loved ones. Staff is exceptionally professional, thoughtful, and sincere - e.g., one of our family members fell sick during the stay, and staff prepared a special meal for the patient, and helped us locate a local doctor. Location was amazing, right at the top of kurokawa onsen town - great to go on short walks to explore. Dinner kaiseki and breakfast were also exceptional; top-notch with local fresh ingredients. Lastly the onsen - the relatively small size of the ryokan ensures a tranquil experience at the onsen; I had the rotenburo all to myself 5 out of 6 times I used the onsen.

The staff is very friendly. Room is comfortable. We experienced traditional Japanese onsen, dinner and breakfast. Great Experience! A good onsen valley to explore, a relaxing environment. It is good to forget all busy staff and slow down life pace in this loving Japanese valley. Will visit again next time.

A very pleasant stay, very nice environment, warm and friendly staffs making your stay feel special!

Our stay was amazing. The room exceeded expectations, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and the facilities were immaculate. I would highly recommend this Ryokan for an individual or couple looking to unwind for a few days in a serene environment.
