Fantastic stay! Excellent room with open-air bath and little garden. Food tasted great, well balanced saltiness and sweetness. Service staff were warm and efficient, taking initiative to provide service for guest's convenience.

Located by the river, it is the oldest hot spring hotel in Kurokawa. It has a family-run hot spring. The outdoor hot spring faces the screen rock and has a good environment. The room was randomly booked. The facilities are relatively old and there is no private bathroom. There is a yard outside the room window. It would be nice if the maple leaves turned red. The breakfast and dinner tasted OK.

The hotel is right on the road to Kurokawa Onsen, but the bend is quite sharp. We who drove by ourselves needed to pull twice to turn around. It's hard to express the beauty of the hotel in photos. As soon as you get off the car, you can feel the beauty of the Japanese garden, like a hidden secret. Since we arrived the day before the National Day, there were only four of us, so the public bathing experience was almost like a private bathing. After bathing, we went back to our room to bathe, and it was a refreshing bath all at once. The experience of eating two meals is also great. I can give full marks to the environment. It feels great to sit in a room facing the stream on both sides and dine.

Kurokawaso is located on the west side of Kurokawa Hot Spring, close to the stream. The entrance to the hotel is on the national highway and is not on the hot spring street. I took a slight detour when looking for it. The hotel is in a very traditional Japanese style, retro. But it's not old-fashioned, and the private hot spring next to the stream is a great experience. The details of the hotel are very good. We provide toiletries and skin care products according to our gender during check-in. The catering is also top-notch these days. Both the quality and the speed of food delivery are perfect and impeccable.

I don't know how to comment. I can only say that I chose the wrong season to go there because the entire Kurokawa Onsen is in the valley (really deep in the mountains and old forests). The hotel is generally OK. I think the hot springs are very good and the food is also very delicious. However, the room facilities are really old, resulting in a lot of insects in the early summer nights. Two centipedes measuring 15 cm long ran in at night. Because it is a tatami room, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night. I was always worried that there would be insects. Halfway from the hotel to the town, two super big 🐍 ran out. Fortunately, I met a villager who helped drive them away. The fright index is 5 stars. It is still recommended to book a room in the main building of the hotel and choose to go in winter. The hotel's hot spring bath is very good. The water quality of Kurokawa is really amazing.

Facilities: Complete Hygiene: Good Environment: Good Service: Excellent Dinner was served in the room, with many varieties and a good dining experience. The hotel provided thoughtful service. We contacted the hotel in advance to request a pick-up service from the bus station. The bus to Kurokawa Onsen was 30 minutes late, but the hotel still arranged for staff to wait, which was very touching. The hotel provides more private baths, and there are two indoor and outdoor baths in the room, which made us very happy.
