Wafu Ryokan Misato Reviews

When we booked this hotel, it was almost the last hotel with vacancies in the Kurokawa Onsen area, but what was surprising was the service quality of its kind and personal butler. Great location to reach the famous spot and shops. Besides the onsen is clean and dedicated. The room is a bit small but good in overall.

Best stay! Kurokawa onsen itself was amazing but this stay made it better. I’m vegan and gluten free. With short notice both dinner and breakfast was arranged just like regular Kaiseki style. They were beautiful and delicious. Owner was kind and helpful. Stuff was wonderful. Hot spring was nice both indoor and outdoor. I was sad to leave knowing probably this was the best stay during our trip. Highly recommended!

The staff are very nice and helpful. My friend had a business engagement and need to delay the dinner and they are very supportive and cater our needs. Both breakfast and dinner are good too!

Valuable for money, very good breakfast and dinner. Recommended!!

Small ryokan. Service is good but they can’t speak English.

This is a small and exquisite family hotel. The staff is kind and friendly. There are two hot springs, indoor and outdoor. I booked a room with two meals and two single beds with a tatami. It is clean and tidy. There is a separate toilet but no bathroom. You have to go to the hotel's hot spring area to take a bath. But this is also very convenient. After all, such a good hot spring, I will definitely enjoy it before going to bed and in the morning. The outdoor hot spring is so comfortable, it's worth the trip

Very good hot spring hotel, I searched for it online for a long time. The price in Miri is not too expensive, there is an open-air private bath, and the reserved Japanese breakfast is very rich. The hot spring temperature on the Aso volcano side is high, and the open-air hot spring is direct natural hot spring water, which is very clean. The staff are very warm and polite. I got up early to take the bus back to Hakata, and they also arranged a car to take me. Thank you 🙏 I had a great trip!

I searched for Kurokawa Onsen on Ctrip for a long time. Because I booked late, few hotels had rooms. This one looked good for the price. I bought a round-trip ticket from Hakata Bus Terminal. It took 3 hours to get here one way. Going down the slope, this Misato is close to the entrance. The room is Japanese style, the bed is a single bed, and the whole hotel feels quite clean. I chose a one-night stay and two-night stay. The dinner and breakfast are both Japanese style, which is pleasing to the eye and tastes okay. It can fill you up. The hot springs are divided into indoor hot springs and open-air hot springs. I took two open-air baths at night. They are sulfur hot springs. It's quite comfortable. There is a convenience store across the hotel where you can buy food. There is a slope down and there are many shops.

I had stopped by Kurokawa on a bus tour before and had such great memories, so when I heard that the weather forecast said it would rain a lot during this trip, I suddenly decided to go to Kurokawa! It was a day before, so there were almost no accommodations left, so I happened to pick this place in a hurry because it was a good value for money place to stay alone! I enjoy traveling to Japanese hot springs whenever I have time, and have been staying in places like Yufuin, Beppu, Hita, Takeo, Ureshino, Saga, and Kumamoto, but this sudden trip was an excellent choice! First, I got off at the bus terminal and walked, and I was so grateful that they kindly welcomed me with a lot of luggage and shared my luggage with me, so I gave them a small gift. There were many cute and thoughtful props and pretty centerpiece flowers placed all over the place. It was cozy and healing! (Google Maps said it was a 15-minute walk, but it continued downhill along the road, so it wasn't difficult to drag the carrier, and it felt like 10 minutes! When you enter the village, you have to go up a steep slope, so it's easy to get there if you follow the road and come down in a circle! Of course, pick-up service is provided. If you apply for a bus, it will be done at the time you want, so when I went to Hakata, I used a shuttle bus, and it was very convenient and nice because it dropped me off right in front of the bus stop.) The tatami room looked small in the photo, but it was bigger than expected, the space was well utilized, and the tatami was well maintained, so it was comfortable without any smell even when it was raining. ! I was worried when I booked the room because there was only a smoking room, but it didn't smell like cigarettes at all, and the view of the open scenery outside and the village shopping street below the veranda was lovely! The welcome tea, green tea, had a deep and clean taste, and the rice cake was not too sweet and chewy, so it suited my taste well! On the day I stayed, the bathhouse was an open-air bath with a wooden shower with two seats. It was cute and had props, and the combination of wood and stone was healing. Above all, the smell of sulfur was strong, which may have been because it was close to Mt. Aso, but it was more natural. It felt like a hot spring, and it felt smooth and detoxifying, so I liked it! The open-air bath was very pretty, but I wasn't allowed to take pictures, so I just took pictures of the path along the way, and it was cute and very pretty! It's small, but it didn't overlap with more than one person, and maybe because they were considerate of each other, there was almost no overlap, so I used it 3 times, but twice I used it alone! Above all, the reason I recommend this hotel is that the kaiseki is so delicious! I've eaten at many places, but I think it's number 1 or 2! There were many places where the side dishes or appetizers weren't to my taste, but the yuzu aperitif, appetizers, and dessert all exceeded my expectations for the price! The beef rice bowl was soft and the wasabi, egg, and sauce went together really well! The dessert rice cake and fruit were sweet and delicious! The next morning, I was so happy and delicious! It was a healing meal time with the view outside! Thank you again to the pretty and cute staff who spoke good English, who explained everything in English, brought a large bottle of ice water to the room when I said I needed it, and even helped me make a reservation for the shuttle bus! It was a happy time because I was able to leisurely look around the village, see the night view of Usan-gil, and enjoy the hot springs while staying here! One thing I regret is that the main meal for the two dinners included in Trip.com was beef rice bowl, but I definitely want to try the grilled set next time^^ The hot springs at the hotel were so good that I only went to one more place, but I wasn't able to complete the seal, so I'll stop by again in 6 months. I will! I was surprised at how cute the air freshener you put in the closet was, and again at how nice and cozy it was, so I would definitely buy it if it was sold at a ryokan! Thank you^^ See you next time^^

The staff are warm and welcoming. The room is neat and clean, with a comfortable and elegant Japanese style room. There are two hot springs, indoor and outdoor. Although the area is not large, the environment and atmosphere are good. One stay and two meals, the food combination is quite thoughtful. All in all, the whole experience was good.

Breakfast and dinner are delicious Hot springs are good But there are few electric switches and no bathroom in the room

Although the hotel is a little old, the Qitian open-air bath is very nice! So comfortable! Food and beverages are also abundant. It takes a few minutes to walk to the illuminated river, which is very beautiful!

The price is not expensive, so the service is corresponding, the food is okay, and the price/performance ratio is normal

Yes, we took a bus, but we saw a bus stop near the door. The only drawback is that the room does not have a separate shower room, so you can only go to the bathhouse to wash your hair. The food is good and the check-in is correct. The bathhouse is not very big. There are stairs opposite the hotel where you can visit. There is a small shrine. Turn left. There is an umbrella lantern festival at night, where you can check in. It seems like check-out is at 10:00, it would be nice if it could be later.
