Yamabiko Ryokan

Our room was very comfortable and the whole Ryokan was very beautiful, down to the smallest detail. The service was perfect. The onsens were amazing and not too crowded, so we could relax in peace. The breakfast and dinner were also very good and an interesting experience that we would recommend to everyone. The little town was also very charming and had a lot to explore. Will definitely come back, it was the best experience from our Japan trip

Great location in Kurokawa, easy walk for onsen hopping. Convenient and spacious parking compared to other areas. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Private baths a plus

Felt a little too dated but on par with town theme.

Sehr schöner Ryokan mit wunderschönen Onsen und einem tollen Abendessen und Frühstück. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Es war alles super.

Our family (2 adults and 3 children) had an absolutely amazing stay at Yamabiko Ryokan. The setting is simply beautiful, right alongside a river and surrounded by nature. The location is perfect—you truly feel immersed in the natural environment from the moment you arrive. The hospitality was second to none. We were provided with traditional yukata, and the staff carefully made sure each family member received the right fit. One team member took the time to provide detailed guidance about how the ryokan operates and everything we needed to know during our stay. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about making our experience special. Every staff member we met was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and professional. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of space for our family. We chose the dinner and breakfast option, and both meals exceeded our expectations. The food was generous, beautifully presented, and featured a wide variety of traditional Japanese dishes prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The entire property is stunning and impeccably maintained. You can see the attention to detail everywhere, from the gardens to the common areas and the baths. One of the highlights was the collection of onsen baths. There are several to choose from, including fully open-air baths, semi-open-air baths, and indoor baths. Each offers a unique and relaxing experience. Kurokawa Onsen village itself is wonderful, with many ryokans and baths to explore. However, we never felt the need to visit other onsens because the facilities at Yamabiko Ryokan were so outstanding. Overall, Yamabiko Ryokan offers a truly unique experience. It combines beautiful natural surroundings, exceptional hospitality, outstanding food, and fantastic onsen facilities. If you're looking for a place to relax, reconnect with nature, and experience traditional Japanese hospitality at its finest, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Nothing.
