    completely satisfied”

    I had a good night's sleep in the bed room. The hot spring was set at a temperature that allowed me to relax. Both the quantity and taste of the dinner and breakfast were to my liking. It was my first visit to Kurokawa Onsen, and I would like to come back again.

    I was very satisfied.”

    This was my first visit to Kurokawa Onsen! It was our first time to visit Kurokawa Onsen! The autumn leaves were beautiful, the hot spring baths were pleasant, and the food was all delicious! It is a pity that table tennis was not available due to infection control measures, but we will visit again when the corona is gone!
