ABOUT

About this ryokan

♨️Detached villas with private spring-fed baths at the very top of Kurokawa Onsen

Kumamoto · Genryu no Yado Hozantei

A Hideaway at the River's Source

🏞️Set at the uppermost end of Kurokawa Onsen, right beside the headwaters of the Chikugo River.
🏡Every room is a detached villa, spread across grounds of about 5,000 tsubo.
🤫Staff deliberately keep service low-key so guests can relax without fuss.

Tengu-no-yu and Sennyo-no-yu Open-Air Baths

♨️100% free-flowing water from the inn's own spring; simple sulfur spring said to help diabetes, skin conditions, rheumatism and nerve ailments.
🪨Tengu-no-yu sits right beside the stream and is named after a rock shaped like a tengu's face from which the water once flowed.
🕖Open to staying guests 15:00–21:00 and 7:00–10:00 the next morning; there are no private reservable baths.

Nights Under the Stars

🌌With no other inns or buildings nearby, nights bring a sky full of stars and deep quiet.
💡A 'starry sky switch' at the open-air bath turns off the lights for better stargazing.
🍁Cherry blossoms, fresh green, autumn leaves and snow give the countryside a new face each season.

Villas with Private Open-Air Baths

🛁Every room except Sanbo-no-yu has its own spring-fed open-air bath; the Special and Deluxe rooms also have an indoor bath.
🧖Hanashinobu, created in 2023 by merging two rooms, is the only room with a sauna: 10-tatami Japanese room, 8-tatami Western room, study, cold plunge and cooling deck.
🌠Kan-aoi has a skylight for stargazing, while the Special rooms Matatabi and Akebi are the furthest villas, about 80 m from the dining area.

Creative Aso-Kumamoto Kaiseki

🍱Dinner and breakfast are seasonal creative kaiseki built on Aso and Kumamoto ingredients, with care given to tableware and plating.
🐟Special and Deluxe guests get sea-fish sashimi; Standard and Sanbo-no-yu guests get local yamame trout sashimi.
🥛Breakfast, the same for all rooms, includes an Oguni Jersey milk soy-milk hot pot, salad, grilled fish and six rice accompaniments.

Signature Dishes

🐴Kumamoto's famous horse sashimi is served as a three-cut platter including mane and futagoe (not available in some seasons).
🔥The house kuwayaki grills Higo beef, Hikoton pork and local chicken on a homemade iron spade for a side-by-side tasting.
🧀A creamy gratin made with Oguni Jersey milk is a favorite among repeat guests.

Private Dining Rooms and Self Bar

🚪The dining area, fully renovated in 2019, has 10 fully private rooms and one semi-private room.
🍶A self bar with Japanese sake, shochu, wine and coffee is open 15:00–21:30 and 9:00–11:00 (coffee only in the morning).
📶Free Wi-Fi in rooms and dining areas; the entire property has been non-smoking since July 2026.

Getting There

🚗About 50 minutes by car from Hita IC on the Oita Expressway; free parking for 15 cars.
🚐Pick-up from the Kurokawa Onsen bus stop or the Kaze-no-ya tourist information center (15:00–17:00 and 9:00–11:00, book ahead by phone).
🕒Check-in 15:00, check-out 11:00.

A rare chance to combine a detached villa with its own spring-fed bath, starry skies and Kumamoto specialties. Note that the town center is a long walk for bath-hopping, there are no private reservable baths, and the Sanbo-no-yu room has only an indoor bath.
