There are many different choices of onsens in the ryokan. The staff are excellent as well, their english proficiency is one of the best I’ve seen as well. Although there were some incidents at the start when we check in, the staffs are very efficient at dealing with it. Overall I’ll recommend anyone who visits Kurokawa onsen to give this ryokan a try

マタ旅と誕生日旅行を兼ねてうかがいました。 チェックインの時に、誕プレとしてお菓子をいただけたり、食事の席を配慮していただいていたり、配慮が素晴らしいと思いました。すごく素敵な思い出になりました！ 温泉も広くて満足でした！家族風呂は夜は入れませんでしたが、朝の7時ごろは空いてました！ エレベーターにトカゲ?がいたのでちょっと怖かったですが、自然の中にあるホテルなんだなって思ってます。笑
