Kumamoto's Yamanoyu is a quaint, reasonable and perfectly-located ryokan in the heart of Kurokawa Onsen. With only a small number of rooms, the inn feels very private. For the onsen lover, there are a variety to choose from - an outdoor rotemburo, segregated indoor shared baths, and a couple of private indoor baths that can be reserved at no extra cost. The staff is very friendly and meals are impressive. This is an inn that won't disappoint.

Nice place to enjoy foods and onsen. I'll stay in a ryokan in Kurokawa Onsen area with my family in May because of Mandy's article, too.

Thanks, Yui! I do love that area. I have tried out almost ALL of the main baths now. It's a good goal to have, I figure. :)

I've stayed at Yamanoyu as well ... I thought the Kumamon etched onto the fishcakes were a cute touch!
Your article was one of the reasons I chose to stay there !
