The staff was amazing, we had some food limitations and it was considered and evreyone was so kind. The room was huge and the private onsen was fantastic, as well as the common ones. The whole place is very antique and magical.

27 Feb 2026

Amazing ! We had booked the best room with two private onsens. The suite was beautiful and very confortable. We enjoyed the cakes and tea. The onsens of this ryokan are beautiful. We liked the soap, and cleaning items. The diner and breakfast are sourced with delicious local rice. Everything was delicious and perfect. We would have liked to stay longer !

The onsen were some of the best ones in all of Kurokawa. We loved the village and the onsen hopping pass that you can buy at Kurokawa-So allowing you to visit the onsens of three other Ryokans in the village. The staff was very nice and they even prepared a vegetarian dinner and breakfast for me.
