This time, I would like to introduce Yamamizuki from Aso-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture.
It is a relaxing ryokan with a homey atmosphere reminiscent of an old-fashioned traditional Japanese house.
The location, the charm, the rooms, and the food are all described in this article, so please refer to it.
Location of Yamamizuki

The “Yamamizuki” inn is located in the back of Kurokawa Onsen, and has a different look each season.
The hotel is located in the Kurokawa hot spring resort of Oku Kurokawa.
By car, it takes about two to three hours from Kitakyushu, Fukuoka City, and Kurume via the Hita Interchange.
The changing scenery brought about by the natural changes of the land makes it a good location.

The men’s open-air bath “Yuyoku no Yu” and the women’s open-air bath “Mori no Yu” are located beside the wooded forest of Oku Kurokawa and the mountain stream that flows through it.
Forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a relaxing time while listening to the murmuring of the river and the chirping of birds.
There is also a men’s indoor bath called “Masura Otoko”, a women’s indoor bath called “Fujin no Yu”, and a private bath called “Saoto Otoko”.
Both the outdoor and indoor baths are recommended for those suffering from neuralgia, muscular pain, joint pain, sensitivity to cold, and chronic digestive disorders.
The Yamamizuki Room

The room types are based on Japanese-style rooms and are available in a variety of styles, including two-room, three-room, and bath rooms.
From the rooms, you will be able to relax and enjoy the view of nature from the window.
The rooms are ranked from A to F, and the room layout and rates vary depending on the rank.
The cuisine of Yamamizuki

The restaurant is open to the public and offers a relaxing environment where you can reminisce about the good old days, and enjoy creative kaiseki cuisine using seasonal and local ingredients.
The restaurant is open to individuals, groups, and organizations.
