Kurokawa-so

The room, Onsen, food, and staff's smiles were all excellent. Thank you very much. We look forward to welcoming you again.

Stayed here for one night and had a very good experience overall. The staff were helpful and attentive, though it helps to know a little Japanese as English isn’t widely spoken. That said, they were patient and did their best to communicate. The ryokan is about a 10-minute walk from the main shopping area and the onsen-hopping district—far enough to feel peaceful, but close enough to explore easily. The room exceeded expectations: spacious and in a traditional Japanese style. While we were at dinner, the staff laid out the futon on the tatami, which was a nice touch. For the family onsen, reserve a time slot at reception as soon as you check in. The private bath was well maintained and a great way to enjoy the hot spring without the pressure of public bathing. Meals were beautifully presented with generous portions and a full kaiseki-style service. The taste was good rather than outstanding, and the quality of the grilled fish was inconsistent between our two identical sets. Overall, highly recommended for an authentic onsen village stay.
