We arrived by car and the staff was already waiting at the entrance to help carry our luggage into the ryokan. We were greeted by another staff and given a tour around the ryokan, before showing us our room. We booked the one with a private onsen bath, but there were also public indoor and outdoor baths. By 6pm we went to the dinner which is a kaiseki-ryōri, the meal was exquisite and delicious. The same goes for the breakfast next morning.
We visited in mid-December and there was a light snow in the morning. It was an amazing experience to bath in the outdoor onsen in the snow!

Service was excellent, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Both dinner and breakfast were exceptionally delicious, wide variety of dishes and we were very full after both meals. Private onsen inside the room was spacious and clean. the room itself was generously large too. Out of all the ryokans I have stayed in Japan, this room was one of the largest. The ryokan is located just a 5 min walk to the main area where you can see the lanterns illuminate at night. Highly recommended!

This ryokan is exceptional. From the decor to the facilities to the friendliness of the general staff we felt welcomed and relaxed throughout. We had planned to visit other onsen ryokan on our visit to Kurokawa but quickly realised that we didn’t need to - it was all right here. There are 6 private unique baths on top of the excellent rotenburo (men’s and women’s outdoor pools separate but alternate each day) and with our limited time in Kurokawa (one night only) we were able to make use of 4 of the private baths and both of the rotenburo (one on each of the days). A great feature was the no booking system for the private baths - it was first come first serve but there were lights that showed you which was occupied. Even better, there was a screen on the tv in your room which told you which were occupied so you could plan which one to go to before you headed down. There was also public indoor baths but we didn’t have time to utilise these. Our kids (ages 11 and 15) enjoy the table tennis and the massage chairs as well as the baths. The views over the river from our room were beautiful especially at night with the illuminations in the river downstream from the bridge easily visible. We really enjoyed the food though some of the selections were a bit too challenging for the kids. Surprisingly though they both enjoyed the horse-meat sashimi!
