Kurokawa-So

The hospitality of the staff was excellent, the room was extraordinary. It was perfect a-z.

Very nice and large outdoor bath. Fancy Kaiseki meal course in the room. Friendly and helpful staffs except the one who can speak English.

Excellent japanese style Hotel with friendly staff. We arrived to Kurokawa by bus, were contacted by the Hotel well before hand, and Hotel staff was waiting for us to take our luggage to the Hotel for us by car. We also got a ride to the bus after check-out. Not all of the staff was fluent in english but they were eager to help whenever needed. Onsen pass can be purchased from the Hotel lobby and they can give recommentations of nearby onsens. The hotel's own onsen was really nice, including both in- and -out-door baths and a cold bath for cooling off especially after sauna. In February we enjoyed onsen with light snow. During summer or autumn, the scenery is surely even more stunning. In addition to men's/women's baths, the Hotel has three small private/family onsen baths that can be reserved from the lobby even in the early morning hours. Sauna in the onsen smelled a pit feird. That is, said by a Finn - but onsens are the THING here. Really good breakfast and dinner! The room had plenty of space and a really nice atmosphere.

The food was exceptional. My son really enjoyed every dish. Private bath was very nice. It's half open air with dry area to get change. Dryer and amenities are provided, very convenient. Around the area was very nice and shady. It feels cool even in the mid of summer.
