Definitely want to repeat. It was mid-winter, so the floor heating was a joy from the bottom of my heart. The hot springs were also the best. The hot outdoor bath in the cold that chilled the bottom was the best. The facilities, service, and food are all the best.

Exceptional”

The hotel is not in Hei Chuan Onsen, but in the nearby Oda Onsen, which is quieter and has a more hot spring town atmosphere. The hotel looks old, and the layout of the garden and public spaces has a traditional Japanese inn flavor, which is very distinctive. The rooms are old but clean. The hotel service is very good. They contacted us in advance to pick us up at the bus station, and also sent us to Hei Chuan Onsen for free. The Japanese-style breakfast and dinner are okay, but there are not many surprises. Only three private wind rooms are not by appointment, which is not very convenient, and there are only shampoo and hair conditioner inside, which is not very convenient. Overall, the cost performance is okay.

The location might slightly further, but it's a very large ryokan with great hospitality, the staff there welcome us warmly and the Onsen there is simply awesome, however value wise I think it's abit on the high side, but all ryokan in kurokawa Onsen charge a relatively higher price compared to other Onsen which I have been to, but overall is perfect.

The staffs are friendly, helpful and humble. The Ryokan makes you feel the austenitic Japanese tradtiotion. There are three private family onsens, one is open air, for those who are not familiar with the traditional onsen. Ryokan's atmosphere is great, and its location is just 10 minutes away from Kurokawa Spa town. The breakfast and dinner are impressive.

Excellent facilities and amenities for guests. More than adequate onsen baths, both in and outdoor, and nice too. Dinner and breakfast serve at the restaurant are delicious. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff are friendly, helpful and courteous. Most speak and understand simple English. Other pros are star gazing observatory and the after dinner drinks at the fire hearth hut. Accessability is not so convenient without own transport. Strongly recommended. Will return given the opportunity.

The beef in that 10 course dinner is insanely delicious. That star watching section actually has a freaking huge telescope that i wonder if the owner uses his whole life saving to buy that, they have an expert explaining the astronomy in Japanese (only), and I saw shooting star! The staffs are awesome, I have this malfunction credit card, but they can actually make it work. U can also book a massage section. I got a facial massage at 5000 yen only. That lady was like crafting on my face with extreme seriousness and professionalism. They have 7 onsen baths, 3 of them are private baths and no advanced booking is required.
