[2025 Minamioguni Stay] Travel Guide for Miyama Sansou (Updated May)

This Kyushu self-drive tour is super rich, you can stay wherever you go. I have stayed in three hot spring hotels in total. I will introduce them to you. Before heading up Aso Volcano, it is recommended to stay a night in the Kurokawa Onsen area and enjoy some relaxing on the hot springs before continuing your full schedule. There are many ryokan options in Kurokawa Onsen. There are only a few rooms in the whole building, so you can enjoy the quiet time. Independent Japanese and Western accommodation, plus a one-night, two-dining plan, is about 34000yen per person. Service, food, hotel quality are super high standards, highly recommended! ✨Check in✨ Upon arrival at the hotel, the check-in process was very smooth. After completing check-in, the staff will use a golf cart to shuttle us to our accommodation, a super fun experience! ✨Japanese style accommodation✨ A cottage is divided into two rooms, occupies a super large area, and the space is very well planned. The Japanese and Western-style rooms, plus the Japanese-style living room, are very comfortable. The room features an oversized private bath and is surrounded by a separate Japanese garden throughout for extreme privacy. You can also take a walk in the garden and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning while enjoying the river scenery. ✨Kaiseki Dinner✨ The dinner is made with seasonal ingredients. The appetizers are exquisite and delicious! The most surprising thing was that there was a wagyu steak to eat, the fat distribution was even, medium rare doneness was fried just right, melting in your mouth! There are also a variety of Japanese sake available, reasonable prices, we opened two small sake slowly sipping ~ ✨Japanese breakfast✨ Breakfast was super amazing! Most of the previous one-night-two meals were Japanese and Western buffet breakfasts, this time it was set breakfast. The steamed wild vegetables are very fresh and delicious, plus Japanese white rice and other side dishes for a super energetic breakfast! P.S。 The location of the hotel is deep in the mountains, recommended for self-drive friends, but driving through the mountain roads to be very careful, it is recommended to check-in at the hotel before sunset.

I recommend Kumamoto-Kurokawa as a solo travel destination. It’s also great to go during the off-season. I recommend the quiet and peaceful Yamamizuki Ryokan.

Sansuibok Shinzan Sanso, quietly located in the inner sanctum of Kurokawa Onsen, Kumamoto, is a hideaway inn for adults where you can truly relax away from the hustle and bustle. In a space surrounded by trees and rich in nature, all you can hear is the chirping of birds and the sound of the river...🌿🕊️ All rooms are detached, so you can have a luxurious time all to yourself!

Nestled in the peaceful hills of Kurokawa Onsen in Kumamoto, Miyama Sansou is a traditional Japanese ryokan that offers a harmonious blend of nature, relaxation, and luxury. Known for its serene ambiance and warm hospitality, this retreat is the perfect place to experience the beauty and tranquility of rural Japan. The ryokan’s design reflects the charm of a traditional Japanese mountain village, with individual cottages scattered across a verdant landscape. These cottages are built in a rustic yet elegant style, using natural materials such as wood and stone to create a sense of harmony with the surrounding environment. Each room offers modern comforts while maintaining a traditional aesthetic, complete with tatami floors, sliding shoji doors, and private onsen baths. One of the highlights of Miyama Sansou is its onsen (hot springs). The ryokan features both communal and private open-air baths, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature. The mineral-rich waters, sourced directly from the hot springs of Kurokawa, are renowned for their healing properties, offering a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Guests at Miyama Sansou can also indulge in exquisite kaiseki cuisine, a multi-course meal showcasing seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared to highlight the natural flavors of Kumamoto, from fresh river fish to tender mountain vegetables. The ryokan’s tranquil setting invites guests to explore the natural beauty of Kurokawa Onsen. Stroll along the town’s charming cobblestone streets, enjoy the traditional atmosphere, or participate in the onsen hopping experience, where visitors can try different hot springs using the town’s famous wooden pass. A stay at Miyama Sansou is more than just an overnight retreat—it’s an immersion into the serene beauty of Japan’s countryside, the warmth of its hospitality, and the timeless traditions of onsen culture. It’s an experience that lingers long after your journey ends. #japantrip

//Miyazan Sanso Ryokan// ° ° ° After visiting Kurokawa Onsen this time, I really recommend everyone to experience their baths! In addition to buying a hot spring hand-shaped bathing suitcase, which allows us to soak in any of the three hot springs in their hot spring resort, the hotel we stayed at, Shenshan Villa, has two sister hotels, so there are three more hot springs to visit. Located by the stream, Shenshan Villa Hotel is a hotel with unique scenery. The hotel has 8 villas with a total of 16 independent rooms. Each guest room is spacious, with a Japanese-style living room and bedroom, and a bathtub in the bathroom, so you can enjoy hot springs in the room in a convenient and comfortable way. The guest rooms are located by the stream. After soaking in the hot spring, you can sit on the wooden bench outside and listen to the gurgling sound of the stream in the field. It really heals your body, mind and soul. The hotel includes one night and two meals, and the food is good. ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ □ 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧📍 6393 Manganji, Minamioguni, Aso District, Kumamoto 869-2402 ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ #mocha_n_love_travel #mocha_n_love_japan #mocha_n_love_kyushu #日本旅行 #九州旅行 #全球旅行
