The drive in the village to get to the Osen was super narrow, so make sure to drive carefully. Besides that, the staff was lovely, easy to talk to, and super friendly. Breakfast and dinner weren't bad. I was able to relax for a few days. Thankyou.

We absolutely loved our stay. The setting was gorgeous. The onsens were so lovely. The food was great and the service was warm and friendly. We would highly recommend it. My only issue was that the bed and and pillow were both very hard.

Great stay overall. Food was excellent and onsen was great. There’s private onsen available for reservation and it’s free. Staff were very courteous and helpful. There’s nothing around the ryokan so don’t expect to have a shopping street there.

Ryokan was in the charming onsen village but condition quite old. Dinner was served in room and food qualify was average. Location good.

The stay is wonderful. Staffs are polite, helpful and caring, some can speak English fluently. The food is amazing, much better than other hot spring hotels. There are two private hot springs in the hotel, each room can book once with no charge. Besides, there are public hot springs where residents can use without reservation. I highly recommend this hotel to all who will visit Kurokawa spa.

We had a really enjoyable and pleasant stay. This onsen maintains a high level of professionalism while not losing any of its charm. The service was absolutely outstanding from the moment we arrived. The staff were attentive and lovely. The room was both charming and comfortable, while the food was one of the best we’ve had during our stay in Kyushu. The only small minor complaint we had was the group of Korean ladies being loud and disruptive in the otherwise quiet and peaceful bath and surroundings, and using their feet to turn on the shower tap, but that shouldn’t take away from an otherwise amazing experience.

離れの風呂付き客室に泊まりました。 部屋、お風呂とも広く、アメニティも大浴場と比べグレードが上がって良い物が装備されていました。 中居さんはまだ3ヶ月目と言う事で少し不慣れな感はありましが、一生懸命されておりました。 温泉宿と言えばお風呂と料理ですがどちらも大変満足しました。 ありがとうございました
