The Nepalese guy at the front desk is very lively. It is located in the center of Kurokawa. It was booked for the cave hot spring. It is very special. Although the room is old and the dinner is average, the location and scenery are excellent. The room faces the river and the bridge. Many tourists come back to this bridge to take pictures during the day. The private hot spring is also good. The price-performance ratio is also acceptable. If you don't want to walk too far, you can consider this one

The hotel has English service. Because the hot spring town is in a valley, there are many ups and downs. If you have a large suitcase, you must ask the hotel to pick you up at the station. The hotel has fixed delivery times at 10 am and 11 am. If you are leaving in the afternoon, you can ask the hotel to deliver to the storage point at the station in the morning, and then go back to the town for a stroll. Storage for large items is 500 yuan/time (100 yuan*5), and small items are 100 yuan/time. The hotel is built on the mountain and is very special. There are 5 hot springs in the hotel, and cave hot springs are the feature. The room is close to the river, and the sound of the stream is very loud at night, making it difficult to fall asleep. One night and two meals are OK.

Excellent location. If you drive, your driving skill got to be good to manoeuvre through the narrow streets and the sharp bend to the onsen car park. The only downside was some of the onsen areas do not have bathing facilities. You will need to bathe in the indoor onsen area, put on your yukata again (cause you will need to walk through a path where the public can see you, to the cave and outdoor onsen.

Incredible experience of a very authentic ryokan! Good location - in the center of Kurokawa, right on the river bank. Spacious room in traditional style. Extremely clean. It was warm enough thanks to the air conditioner, despite the fact that it was cold and snowing outside. The room has its own bathroom. The kaiseki dinner did not leave me indifferent - it was like a special event - everything was very beautiful and very tasty. Breakfast is also good. The hotel has wonderful baths - one of them is in a cave. The water is moderately hot. Everything was very clean. Many thanks to all the hotel staff for a wonderful holiday - I will come again with pleasure.

I visited again in January. The food menu was good and the hot spring trip was the best.

It is probably the most unique hot spring hotel in Kurokawa Onsen. The food is very delicious and the cave hot spring is very unique.
