Kuroshio Sou

It seems that it was just reopened in 2023. I had been following their official Instagram for a while and was interested in it. The price is out of my reach during the vacation season, so I aimed for this time before the rainy season ends. And it was a weekday. I originally booked a room on the first floor, but the view seemed better on the second floor, so I changed my reservation. It was sunny on the day of my stay, so I think this choice turned out to be a good one. Previously, it was an authentic hot spring inn. It seems that it was designed like that, but when I stayed there, it had a more hotel-like atmosphere. Dinner at the inn on my trip. Sometimes it's too much, but personally, the amount was just right, not too much or too little. For dinner, I had Kumano beef and asparagus cooked in a clay pot. I had the leftovers made into rice balls. (It was wrapped in bamboo bark, which made me feel good) It was a nice service that a welcome dessert was served at check-in. There are inns that serve drinks, but not many that come with sweets, so I thought it was interesting. The ice bar in the ice box in the lobby was also free to access. (It was a free service system.) I had it after a bath. It was like solidified agar, so the texture was closer to gummy candy than popsicle. You could also reserve an open-air bath for yourself, and the room was a mix of Japanese and Western-style, so it would be nice for repeat inbound tourists from Japan. I thought that during my stay.
