Ryokan Wakaba

Wakaba Ryokan is a small and friendly,family-run Japanese- style inn near the centre of Kurokawa

Exquisite ryokan with private onsen

Reviewed By Elizabeth T

A very cosy ryokan just beside the river and close to the centre of Kurogawa old town. We stayed in room 105 which was at the end of the ryokan and very quiet and private. They have a public and family onsen. Need to reserve the 50-min private onsen in advance and it is open until very late. The public onsen opens at 6.30am so if you are there early, you will have the whole onsen overlooking a bamboo forest all by yourself. Very therapeutic. Fantastic breakfast too.

Good Onsen Hotel

Reviewed By rpver

Very nice Yufuin ryokan located at the other end of town from the train/bus station, about a 15 minute walk. Advise using Google maps when walking around, especially after dark. It has both public and three private onsens and options for both breakfast and dinner. We stayed two nights and had the breakfast option. The two breakfasts were both very delicious and completely delicious different. We had dinner at nearby restaurants. The staff were all very helpful and courteous. The hotel was a bit pricey.

Authentic......but

Reviewed By Iain G

We had a confirmed reservation here for three nights on our travel documents. When we booked in they had two nights. It was our travel companies fault. The staff, especially Morachi? Were very helpful, and managed to get us the third night down the road. Anything else would have been a disaster. Room wise it was lovely, Japanese style, but due to the wood, very noisy, and we had to pull our mattresss into the living room to get some sleep. Breakfast Japanese style was amazing. Onsen was an experience well worth doing.

Great stay

Reviewed By lizcyni

We stayed one night in this modern hotel with onsen in the center of Beppu. It’s located five minutes away from the Beppu JR Station. Although its location is in the city center it’s very quiet without any noise from traffic outside. The hotel is beautifully decorated with bamboo theme which is a special product of Beppu. The lobby area looks stunning overlooking a beautiful garden. The whole hotel is floored with bamboo tatami which I think is very special. Footwear is not allowed in the hotel. The moment we entered the front door we were asked to remove our shoes. They even cleaned the wheels of the luggage. We took two rooms for four of us. The room is very spacious with separate toilet and a big bathroom. Amenities included a kettle for coffee and tea making and a capsule coffee machine. The free yuzu drink in the refrigerator tasted delicious. The complimentary traditional steamed buns with yuzu at the lobby with tea and coffee was a nice touch. Guests are given socks and a pair of loose fitting pyjamas outfit instead of traditional yukata. The onsen area is bright and modern. There’s an indoor and outdoor baths. The dinner and breakfast were great and plentiful. Most of the staff can converse in English. The reason I did not give a five star rating is because our room on second floor has an unpleasant sewage smell which I didn’t detect when we check-in. The odour was pretty bad at night. It could be due to second floor is next to the in-house restaurant. Overall we did enjoy our stay. I would recommend this hotel.

Hotel and Onsen

We went to the hotel for the spa and onsen. There's one on the main hotel grounds and another across the parking lot. Very traditional and relaxing. The traditional dinner is a must have at the gorgeous restaurant with the view of the bay.

Quintessential Japan

Reviewed By HKAMOD

What a fabulous experience of Japan! Hot spring bath inside our room and traditional Japanese Tatami beds. The breakfasts were meticulously presented and delicious. Service - outstanding. On the day of our departure, we could not book a taxi or even buy bus/train tickets to Fukuoka. A staff member drove us to Fukuoka in his personal car. That’s 1.5 hours away by car!!! They would not allow us to pay for the trip! Such kindness and dedication to the customer. I cannot recommend Itsuki Ryokan enough.

Perfect stay

Reviewed By Ilovemountains2

We stayed one night as a family of 4 in a Seaside Maisonette. I didn’t realize this when booking, but it has 2 bedrooms, both with two double beds (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs) and 2 toilet rooms. We loved the outdoor bathroom and two hot spring onsens. The rooms were clean, updated, and nice toiletries were provided. They also provided kimonos and sandals to relax around the resort. Parking is free and valet parking is provided when you check in as well as luggage service. Staff speaks minimal English but it did not negatively impact our stay. My only two negative comments are the uncomfortable beds and flat pillows (bring your own) and it was very hot in our room. I wish the A/C worked a little better. We loved how kid friendly they were. Children’s kimonos, sandals and slippers were provided as well as a kid’s welcome kit. My kids loved the private onsen and looking for crabs on the resort grounds. There was one restaurant on site but it didn’t look like it was open. The sister resort on the other side of Nitori is where breakfast and dinner are served. It’s a short walk but they do have a shuttle. Breakfast was delicious! Buffet style with a western and Japanese side, once again, very kid friendly! The service was fantastic overall and in every aspect of our stay! I wish we could have stayed longer.

Very impressive hotel

The Japanese-style room is very luxurious and comfortable, and you can enjoy a delicious dinner in the room. The hotel staff will introduce each dish very kindly while serving, which is a good experience. There is also an exclusive open-air bath in the room, which can relieve the fatigue during the trip at any time. This is a very good hotel, very close to the airport and there is a shuttle service, highly recommended for everyone. 充滿了日式風格的房間非常豪華舒適,還能在房間內享用美味晚餐,旅館服務員在上菜的同時會很親切的介紹每道菜,是個很好的體驗。 房間內也有專屬的露天浴池,能夠隨時的泡湯充分解除了旅途中的疲勞。 這是一間很不錯的旅館,距離機場也很近並且有接送服務,非常推薦給大家。 良いホテル おすすめです!

Plastic is not for eating

Reviewed By foreverfaliero

I stayed here with my Japanese wife for 1 night. We booked 1 room with the onsen bath and even if the room was relatively small we were quite impressed. But the first problem popped up in less than 30 minutes. From the shower room a long and incredibly loud “flushed-water” noise transformed the atmosphere of the room in a big toilet. And it wasn’t even us! It was from the rooms next to ours, that how it was explained by the kind staff member, were all connected by the pipelines. We explained that we couldn’t stay there, as if it happened at night we wouldn’t be able to sleep. They agreed to change our room, so the problem was solved. Then we went to dinner, and here was the second problem. While eating some vegetables my wife risked to swallow a freaking piece of plastic, coming from the wrapping they used for the vegetables (see pic). Better not to think what would have happened if it was served to a child. After complaining, another staff member came to apologize. Upon check out, they agreed to waive the fees for the drinks (around 2000JPY), but for 22,000JPY per person, this service was unacceptable to say the least.
