Uedaya
10/10 Exceptional - Based on 2 reviews
Nestled on a wooded rise above the hot-spring village, Uedaya offers eight detached suite-style accommodations and a seasonal outdoor pool, combining traditional Japanese detailing with modern comforts. Each suite sits in its own pavilion with a private terrace, air conditioning, refrigerator and an en-suite bath; onsite facilities include a single Japanese restaurant that serves seasonal multi-course meals and a small garden for quiet moments. A trailer-glamping annex provides a casual outdoor lodging option while sharing the property’s amenities, and guests can enjoy hill views from the terraces.
Rooms are notable for dedicated open-air tubs fed by the local spring, allowing guests to bathe without sharing communal baths; this arrangement supports its description as a ryokan with private onsen in Yamaga. The property highlights the spring water’s soft texture, and staff manage access and simple bathing routines to preserve privacy. Interior layouts mix tatami and Western bedding, and practical amenities such as Wi‑Fi and flat-screen TVs sit alongside low dining tables and handcrafted wood finishes. Meals focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients served in a kaiseki style.
Practical details make Uedaya a self-contained retreat: mid-afternoon check-in, late-morning checkout, onsite parking and a non-smoking policy, with reservation handled through the property’s booking channels. Its compact scale and private-bath focus suit couples and families seeking quiet hot-spring stays, and the location places regional attractions within easy driving distance of the ryokan; this ryokan with private onsen in Kumamoto therefore combines secluded bathing, seasonal cuisine and straightforward access to the prefecture’s highlights, and is often chosen for quiet celebrations or restorative breaks.
