I stayed with my husband. The private bath (flowing hot spring water) was great, and the half open-air bath in the room (also flowing hot spring water) was also very good. We stayed in a Japanese-Western style room (with a sunroom and massage machine), and the facilities were well-equipped and the cleanliness was impeccable. The staff were also very kind. Also, we could drink herbal tea and coffee for free in the morning. (When staying at a ryokan, coffee is often not available, so this is quite important.) The food is, in one word, "the best." The facilities and comfort of the room are of course good, but the dishes were very impressive for me, who places more importance on food than anything else. Although there were many creative ideas, the quality of the ingredients was fully utilized, and the food was faithful to the basics (I'm not a food critic, so I can't say for sure if this is the right expression...), and the food was delicious with a gentle taste. It wasn't anything fancy or flashy, but it was the best food I had during my 10-day trip. The chawanmushi for breakfast was smooth, not stale, and delicious with a good dashi flavor. However, the amount of food was just enough to finish. It's not the amount you can't finish at a typical Japanese inn. But it's the perfect amount to fill you up. If you're the type of person who likes to eat a lot, please be aware of this. Also, it's a modest hot spring resort, so the prices are reasonable, and I think it would be more expensive if it was a famous hot spring. If the price at Kurokawa Onsen is too high, why not stay here and stretch your legs? It's close. It's about 20 kilometers away, or about 20 minutes by car. There are several free parking lots at Kurokawa Onsen. As for the distance and time it will take, please ask the inn staff or look it up yourself. I'm quite bad with directions. This is an inn I definitely want to go to next time. Anyway, the food was great.
