Hotel R9 the Yard Kikuchi ★★★

"Pros: Refrigerator with freezer, microwave (Not common in other business hotels) Notes: Doesn't have an auto-lock, so be careful to lock the door ⚠️"

Iwakura ★★

"The private semi-open-air bath is a must-have! The environment is beautiful, built along the stream, and the facilities are mainly made of natural wood products, flowers and plants, and are antique. The rooms are functionally spaced and equipped with a private semi-open-air bath. The accommodation and two meals are very delicious. If you plan to visit Kikuchi Valley, it is definitely the best choice!"

Kikuchi Sasanoya ★★

"It is a tatami room in the style of a traditional Japanese ryokan. Both breakfast and dinner are kaiseki and Japanese home-style, and although it is not very high-class, it is okay. In particular, since it is a hot spring hotel, the water was good. I took a hot spring every morning and evening and it was refreshing. Overall, the bedroom, hot spring, meals, and facilities are average."

Hotel & Monthly Kikuchi

"The location was difficult to understand by the road sign. There is nothing in the neighborhood. The facilities are large, clean and wonderful. It can be washed and dried in the room, which is good for long-term business trips."

Kikuchi Onsen Houraikan ★★

"Lovely owner and nice environment. Easy to get to kikuchi gorge which is a hidden gem for hiking."

Mochizuki Ryokan ★★★

"It was a Japanese-style room with a hot spring bath. The public bath is nice, but having one in the room was the best, as I could use it multiple times a day. The quality of the spring water was very good and it was very creamy, making my skin smooth. It was also a hot spring inn that I would like to visit if I have the chance."

Shiroyamaso ★★

Seiryuso ★★★

"The hotel is incredibly accessible and very clean! The staff are also incredibly friendly! I chose this hotel because of the large public bath on the third floor, and I'm absolutely delighted. Parking is available at one of the three affiliated parking lots for just 1,200 yen per day! Perhaps because it's relatively new, the accommodations are in excellent condition!"

Hotel Kona ★★★

"Just a cheap place to sleep. No explanations, no service whatsoever. Amenities were the absolute bare minimum; I really wished for a towel, or at least for them to have mentioned that none would be provided. The first thing I noticed when I entered the room was a strange smell."
