Property Description
Cross the bridge from Kawabata Street in the hot spring town to reach Shinmeikan. Stone-paved paths and nostalgic architecture welcome you. Enjoy our signature free-flowing thermal spring baths—including a unique cave bath and open-air rotenburo. Relax in riverside rooms soothed by gentle breezes and the murmuring stream, melting away daily stress. For meals, gather around the traditional irori hearth to savor local specialties like grilled river fish skewers and charcoal-grilled meats—a true taste of the countryside.

Very nice traditional onsen ryokan in the centre of Kurokawa onsen with river in front of rooms. Staff able to converse well in english. Excellent dinner which is Michelin Star quality. Cave onsen and private semi open air onsen a must try !

Excellent location. If you drive, your driving skill got to be good to manoeuvre through the narrow streets and the sharp bend to the onsen car park. The only downside was some of the onsen areas do not have bathing facilities. You will need to bathe in the indoor onsen area, put on your yukata again (cause you will need to walk through a path where the public can see you, to the cave and outdoor onsen.

Расположение очень хорошее, в центре Курокавы. В рекане очень красивая приватная купальня, которую можно зарезервировать на определенное время при заезде. Так же очень приятные остальные купальни, сама территория большая, есть где погулять, рекомендую по возможности заглянуть во все доступные вам онсены. Нам все очень понравилось.

酒店有英文服務,因為温泉小鎮是在個山谷裏,所以上下坡很多,如果有大行李箱一定要請酒店到車站接送。酒店固定送車站時間為上午10點和11點兩個時間點,如果是下午離開的行程,可以上午請酒店送到車站的寄存點,然後回小鎮逛逛。寄存大件500/次(100塊*5),小件100塊/次。酒店依山而建很特別,酒店內有5個温泉,洞穴温泉是特色。房間靠河邊,晚上溪水聲特別大,很難入睡。一泊二食還行。
