  "Tranquil experience for Onsen Newbies"
  "We stayed here as a party of six, a family of four ( children 12 and 16) plus two friends, father and son for one night. The place is very clean, the village is beautiful, but we had no idea what to expect. The place was booked by our friends's son who lives in Japan. The food is divine, but unfo..."rtunately not suitable if travelling as a western family with younger children, as options are very limited apart from rice. We were (as in many places) the only westerners staying in the village. We loved wearing the kimonos around the place, even to dinner. Recommend becoming familiar with what Onsen entails (ie no clothes!) before going, but well worth it. It can smell a bit of sulphur at times. Recommend not to stay in the Hot springs for more than 10 minutes at a time, one can get nauseous or lightheaded. " More >
• Kurokawaonsen Shinmeikan
  "Outstanding"
  "I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was amazing and service was excellent. The staff spoke no English but were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for us. I loved both the hotel and the village and the cave onsen was an added highlight. I can't wait to return and enjoy a few..." relaxing days there strolling the narrow lanes and enjoying wonderful hot springs. " More >
• Ryokan Sanga
  "Just excellent!"
  "While travelling in Japan, we wanted to spend some time in a real ryokan to get this experience. Sanga Ryokan was recommended in our guidebook, therefore we gave it a try. Right from the very beginning, just WOW! What a beautiful lounge area with views directly into the forest. Warm and welcoming st..."aff and just a great room with our own onsen. We tried several baths in the ryokan and we totally felt in love with the one up in the forest, the views from this private bath down to the river is just breathtaking. Furthermore, the shared bath is also a real stunner! The best at the end: The kaiseki served in the evening was one of the best dishes we had all around the world. If you're a gourmet, don't miss this!! As I'm a vegetarian, i asked for this what was no problem at all. The sake they recommended to the dishes was amazing. All in all, a great experience!! " More >
