We spent 3 nights at the Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nihonbashi Kayabacho hotel after arriving in Japan (There is another Fresa Inn in the area, so make sure this is where you have your reservation).
It is a relatively modern, functional hotel sometimes referred to as a business hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very small as is typical in Tokyo but very clean and functional. The hotel is convenient to Tokyo station (20 minutes walking as a reference).
After arriving on the Narita Express or by others means to Tokyo station, follow signs to the Tozai line (sky blue) subway. The easiest way to know which direction to go is to look at the numbers representing the stops. The Tokyo station stop at Otemachi is T-9 and you want to go to T-7 Kayabacho. Leave the Kayabacho subway station via Exit 7 and the hotel is just around the corner.
From Kayabaco or the nearby Nihonbashi station, you can get all around Tokyo on the highly efficient subway system. Use a Suica, Welcome Suica or Pasmo card to enter and exit subways and avoid the hassle of figuring out which ticket to buy or how much they coat. Just tap and go. Enjoy.

EXPERIENCE JAPAN LIKE THE JAPANESE
We decided to spend a couple of days in central Kyushu to enjoy a traditional Japanese ryokan experience. Boy, was that a great call!
I88We stayed at the Yama no Yado Shinmeikan in the Kokura Onsen area, which is an hour north of Aso city by bus.
The ryokan is 130 years old but is clean and well-maintained. It features a total of 5 unique onsens, including one carved into a cave. The ambiance is terrific and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The ryokan is located along a flowing river and the sound of running water adds to the relaxing quality of the stay. (The Fuji room is best).
All accommodations are traditional Japanese tatami rooms which are made up for sleep each night by the staff as you enjoy the onsen baths.
Nothing. One of our best experiences in Japan.

Nothing, all was wonderful !
8.0
The cave onsen was great. It had large sections of the cave. That was specifically why I went there.
It was a bare bone experience. That is, I paid about a couple of hundred dollars only to sleep in a room and lie in the onsen. The outdoor onsen was covered so I wasn't able to see the stars. I could only see the walls. It is listed as a co-ed onsen, but it is limited to one pool for three hours. The guests wear special bathing suits made of some kind of plastic fiber.
8.0
Hearth dinner was an amazing experience.
They have multiple Hotspring that you can enjoy.
Rooms were just nice.
It’s like being and living in the old times.
Staff were very accommodating especially Kanesei San,she’s one of my favorite and I think one of the oldest staff who works there…she took care of me well.
9.0
Right on the river. Beautiful room, best ryokan experience we have had, though Kurokawa is an expensive place to stay. Staff were extremely helpful, even helped us book a vegetarian meal at another restaurant in town before we arrived and parked our car for us in the tight Kurokawa village streets. Private onsen was able to be booked on arrival, included in the accommodation fees, for a 40min time slot which was the perfect amount of time.
The only shower facilities are the communal onsen facilities. This is normal, but be aware for foreign travelers who haven't experienced this before. Parking in Kurokawa is very difficult.

Good location
Most of the dishes for the breakfast are too cold even small fillet, seems like just taking out from the fridge. It's a bit disappointed and unacceptable.

Booking.com screwed up. We were charged for 3 adults and served adult kaiseki food also for our 8-year old daughter. In my 24-years of traveling around Japan, this error has never been made. We had to buy kids friendly food separately.
