getting there


our RyokaN is situated in Kurokawa Onsen. A secluded, ethereal town nestled deep in nature. The whole town functions like an ancient hot spring village. You'll feel transported, walking the tiny streets watching others pass by wearing yukata, wooden sandals and carrying cane baskets (and yes, you’ll have the opportunity to do the same if you wish)! It truly feels like a scene from another time. 

The closest airport is Kumamoto, just a two hour flight from Tokyo, or 1hr 15min from Kansai (Osaka and Kyoto). Included in the fee, we will arrange a shuttle bus to depart from Kumamoto airport around 3pm on the 11th of June, our arrival day, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the incredible volcanic scenery on the way to the retreat.
