I think this was one of the loveliest inns in Kurokawa. The garden was so beautiful and the outdoor onsen was amazing as well. The interior was also extremely cosy and well-decorated. Highly recommend this place.

“Our favourite stay in Japan”

The room was amazing, outdoor baths were beautiful and the village was amazing. We've stayed in dozens of hotels in Japan and this was by far out favourite.

Great location a few minutes walk from the main area, nice and peaceful, lovely friendly staff, comfy bed

“Loved our stay”

Best breakfast Fabulous onsens

“Rejuvenating and chilled out”

All the baths were really nice with private baths and a large and spacious open air communal bath. The room was comfortable and the yutaka provided added to the vibes. Location was good being a small town.

“Worth it. Especially for the Onsen”

Access to the Onsen of the partner hotel was amazing. Lots of beautiful private baths available. The hotel itself (Inn noshiyu) was cute as well. Breakfast was nice (western style)

“Worth it 100%”

Cozy and clean

“Awesome chance to visit authentic onsen as a solo traveler.”

Stayed a night and visited awesome onsen. :) Few buses, maybe rent a car if you plan for more.

“Best ryokan experience”

Everything was top! The ambience, the baths, the info cards everywhere explaining in English as well.

“Wonderful experience in the nature. Most beautiful onsen I've seen”

This place is magical. NOSHIYU includes two main building groups: the traditional Ryokan and the Inn, which is a modern take inspired by european Chalets (I think), and I stayed at the more affordable Inn. The big advantage of the Inn is that you still get free access to the amazing selection of Onsen, both indoors and outdoors, that Noshiyu offers. I booked the double room upstairs (203) and I absolutely enjoyed every corner of it, from the big bathroom to the comfortable beds. The Inn also has beautiful common spaces for breakfast, reading, relaxing and even a private indoor onsen. While the Inn was amazing by itself, the true highlight of this place are the Onsen located by the Ryokan, which you can enjoy from 6:30 am till night. The feeling of taking a dawn bath while it's -3°C outside is unmatched. The staff is super professional and helpful, you can tell they are proud of this beautiful place.

Location and private onsen

“Excellent place to stay, one of the highlights of our trip”

Beautiful architecture, great onsen (including several private onsens), authentic feeling, beautiful bathing robes

I had a lovely stay at Noshiyu. Both the inn and the room were nicely decorated and the Onsens were beautifully located. Next to this, the staff was very helpful and friendly. It was a relaxing stay.

“Average place”

Able to use baths in Oyado Noshiyu

“Great value onsen accomodation, highly recommend if you would like to stay in Kurokawa Onsen”

Sister accomodation of Oyado Noshiyu. More budget friendly than other accomodation in the town. Breakfast is an additional charge and was great, personal chefs cook fresh each day. You are able to use the outdoor spa facilities of the onsen across the road, in addition to having a private bath in the accomodation building itself. Service was friendly and the staff met us as we drove in and explained to us all the details when we arrived.

“Overall, it's a really unique inn. I would highly recommend it.”

I really like the old meet the new "modern" I also like the private onsen which was a really nice touch.

“Lovely stay in a lovely inn”

everything was clean, comfy, cozy, quiet

“Property and options of onsens were amazing. Staff were nice. Some areas of the inn eg cafe, lounge were open only for a”

Location was very good. Excellent selection of onsen. Room was very spacious with nice additional sitting areas in hotel.
