Boasting a spa bath, Oita Toranoyu is situated in Kokonoe. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the ryokan free of charge. Guests can use the hot spring bath and the hot tub, or enjoy garden views.

Amazing place in the heart of the nature in Japan. The drive up the mountains to reach the accommodation is a absolutely stunning. Great value for money and we really loved all of the different on-site onsens that we tried. This was a highlight of our trip in Japan and well worth a detour to spend a few days in this amazing area.

Situated along Tanohara River and surrounded by tranquil nature in Kurokawa Onsen hot spring area, Oku no Yu Ryokan offers charming Japanese-style accommodation and various hot spring baths. It also boasts a thermal-heated indoor swimming pool. Free WiFi is provided in public areas.

The room was nice and spacious, cozy and comfortable. They have an amazing variety of onsen and perhaps the only place with mixed onsen which I enjoyed very much with my husband. Staff was amazing as well.

Very traditional ryokan. Amazing food (dinner & breakfast is included). A real happening for us that we will always remember. The onsen baths were really nice. There was a shared bath and only women/men options. We also booked a private bath (for free) which was really nice. Everybody was very helpfull and friendly and we managed without speaking Japanese.

    I would recommend to stay atleast 2 nights in this resort because the check in time is 4pm and 10:30am for check out. The room is spacious and It comes with 2 private Onsen for Akane room.(Indoor & Outdoor) The enviroment is good for those who seek for peace of mind as the place is far from Town. It takes 40 mins to reach fr Özü town or an hour travel from ASO mountain to the resort. The breakfast serve in Japanese cuisine.

    Big apartment, it has a main room with beds, couch, table and a small kitchen and it has a second room Japanese style with tatami. From the windows there is view to the forest. The outdoor onsen has a beautifull location in the forest. Breakfast is buffet with Japanese food. The kitchen has a small stove, refrigerator and a water kettle. There are no pots, pans, plates and cuttlery.
