About the Okyakuya Ryokan

Kurokawa Onsen for 300 years, at a half-farming and half-inn

This is a "half-agricultural half-inn" that was founded in the middle of the Edo (time period) utilized by the Higo Hosokawa ClanThere are 7 hot springs with soft hot springs for all 13 rooms.We welcome you with the charm and hospitality of Satoyama, which we know only because we have been rooted in this area for 300 years.

■The beginning of the Okyakuya Ryokan
Kurokawa Onsen, and its founding dates back to 1722 (Kyoho 7).It was built by the order of the Hosokawa feudal lord who ruled Higo Province, and there is a historical fact that a party of change of attendance, a magistrate's official, and a senior vassal stopped by.Inn listed the time of the nickname as a patronage inn Okyakuya Ryokan, once the small country township Miyahara, Tsuetate, but was also present in the Tanohara, to remain in the now is the only one house hotel.
■Origin of hospitality
When I thought about it so far and in the future, I realized that "agriculture" has a hint of better hospitality.We believe that we can provide our customers with a special and reasonable impression by cultivating the fields and dividing them into the mountains and learning about the richness of this area through seasonal efforts.

Our "half-farming, half-inn" style, where we cultivate fields and tend to the mountains while running a hot spring inn, has remained unchanged since our founding.In recent years, private farms have been focusing on soil preparation to grow good crops without relying on pesticides or chemical fertilizers.Currently, there are about 60 kinds of vegetables, rice, and edible wild plants that can be harvested on the premises, and you can enjoy them fresh with the dishes of this facility.

■And the next three hundred years
The facility will celebrate its 300th anniversary in 2022.In the rapidly changing days, in order to be a supple and entertaining "Okyakuya Ryokan" for the next 300 years, while continuing to ask what "travel", "Kurokawa Onsen", and "hospitality" are, "half farming and half" As an inn, we will take on the challenge of various new initiatives.
