Overview
Rakuten STAY VILLA Aso Kurokawa is a single-story villa in Minamioguni-machi, Aso-gun, Kumamoto, about 10 minutes by car from Kurokawa Onsen, with only 5 groups accommodated per day and each villa rented as a whole. Every villa has its own natural onsen bath, a private sauna and an induction kitchen, and because you have the building to yourselves, your family can spend the stay without worrying about other guests. Infants and toddlers can co-sleep at 100% of the adult rate, but only when they use bedding without meals. Children's tableware and cutlery are also provided.
Rooms
Each guest unit is a 1LDK single-story villa rented as a whole. It measures 83.28 sq m and accommodates 1 to 6 guests. Bedding consists of 2 double beds (140 cm wide by 195 cm long) plus 2 futon sets. All villas are non-smoking, and each has an air purifier with a humidifying function.
Dining
Only room-only plans without meals are offered, and each villa has an induction kitchen along with dishes and a range of cooking utensils. Seasonings are not provided, so please bring any you need. The nearest supermarket is about 20 to 25 minutes away by car, so it is worth buying groceries before you arrive. For children, there are 2 kids' plates, 2 kids' bowls and 2 sets of kids' spoons and forks.
Baths and Onsen
Every villa has its own natural onsen bath. The water is a simple onsen, hypotonic and mildly alkaline, drawn 100% from the spring source and heated. A private sauna for 2 to 3 people is also in every villa and can be used any time, 24 hours a day, though it is electric, so löyly (pouring water over the stones) is not possible. The sauna's back wall gets very hot, so take care not to lean against it. Because the onsen bath belongs to your villa alone, your family can bathe without other guests around.
Family-Friendly Details
Up to 4 children can co-sleep. Elementary school children co-sleep at 100% of the adult rate. Infants and toddlers are accepted at 100% of the adult rate only when they use bedding without meals; other combinations, whether meals are included or bedding is not used, are not accepted. Guests under 18 cannot stay without an accompanying adult. Check-in is unstaffed and done on a tablet inside the villa, so you can settle in without meeting staff face to face.
Access
The villa is about 90 minutes by car from Aso Kumamoto Airport and about 35 minutes by car from Miyaji Station. There is a steep slope near the property, so take care if your car sits low to the ground, as it may be scratched. Roads can freeze from around November to April, so please come with studless winter tires. Parking is free for guests, with space for up to 2 cars per room.
