11 Best Onsen Ryokans In Kurokawa Onsen, Japan - Updated 2025
Kurokawa Onsen is a town you will easily fall in love with. The place is a hot spring lovers’ paradise where tradition and culture are raised high on a pedestal. You won’t see any concrete buildings here, only those made of wood and designed in a minimalist fashion. These traditions can be seen in numerous onsen ryokans that sit almost beside each other. Onsen ryokans are hot spring inns that are mostly found along the banks of the Tanoharu River. A number of these have outdoor public baths and special features like grottos and waterfalls. Scroll down for a list of the best onsen ryokans in Kurokawa Onsen, Kumamoto, Japan. **Travel tip:** - Do you love to explore everything at once? Then, I'd suggest experimenting with the rotating style of accommodation. Stay at a different inn each night and explore different parts of the onsen town. Get additional information on this unusual form of lodging on the official website of Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Association Information Center. **Event to look out for:** - Don't miss the Yu Akari Illumination festival if you're visiting in winter. This annual event involves lighting unique bamboo lanterns throughout the town. The locally made lanterns are kept lit from sunset to 10 pm every night. The best part? The festival is free for everyone!
