Fantastic stay! Excellent room with open-air bath and little garden. Food tasted great, well balanced saltiness and sweetness. Service staff were warm and efficient, taking initiative to provide service for guest's convenience.

Great, unexpectedly good, not in the center of Kurokawa Onsen, quiet in the hustle and bustle, by the river, one stop and two meals are also very rich, the hotel provides shuttle service

Last week, I stayed at Kurowakaso for one night~~! First of all, I really, really recommend it👍🏻 Go there a hundred, ten thousand, and a thousand and five hundred times!! The staff are very kind, and the hot spring facilities and room condition are the best! I was able to try on traditional Japanese clothes, and the food was especially the best! The food was really good, and they gave me so much food that I almost burst😂 I was lucky that my group and I were the only ones in the family bath and large bath, so I took pictures, but the hot spring for guests only is also amazing! It was a good memory~ A lot of Korean tourists are going to Kumamoto these days, so if you're thinking about visiting a hot spring, I recommend this place👻 (By the way, there's a staff member who speaks Korean really well♡)

The most amazing hot springs in the entire trip to Japan, it was worth taking a taxi (the bus stopped due to heavy snow) Japanese rockery garden, close to the river, hot spring pools are indoors and outdoors, and there are family soups. The food is also good. The waiters don’t speak English, but their body language is very rich and the communication is pleasant. It is a place worth visiting N times I plan to go again if I have the chance
