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

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♡)

After a long hesitation about the hotel to stay in Kurokawa Onsen, I finally chose Kurokawaso, which was undoubtedly the right decision. The entire layout of the hotel is classical and elegant, and even the classical music played in the public area is just right and matches the environment. The open-air bath is large and has a great view, which is very comfortable. For dining, each family has an independent private room with good privacy, and the meals are exquisite and delicious. The service is even more meticulous, making people extremely comfortable.

A family of 3 stayed during the Chinese New Year. The environment was very good, the staff was very friendly, the meals were delicious, dinner and breakfast were all enjoyed in the private room, and the rooms were kept very clean. I will definitely stay here again next time. Check-in.

The environment is first-class. Although the location is a bit remote, it has its own tranquility. The private hot spring experience is very good. Next time I come, I might consider staying another night and then go to Yueguangshu for another experience.

Kurokawa Onsen is a hot spring town near Aso. It has many hot spring hotels and some of them have a long history. Relatively speaking, the hot spring facilities are also a bit old. I was a little worried about this trip, but after arriving, Kurokawa Ryokan Kurokawaso made me very satisfied in all aspects. Ctrip's customer service was very considerate and helped me make an appointment for the hotel pick-up. You should know that the hotel is a bit far from the center of the town and the station, especially if you are carrying two large suitcases. There was a pick-up person waiting as soon as the car arrived at the station. Arrived at the hotel. Patiently waited for 3 o'clock to check in. Can't wait to experience the hot spring first. The hot spring pool looks clean and the facilities are intact. This time, a total of 2 different room types were booked. There are no bathing facilities in the rooms of the main building, but it is not far from the hot spring. Very convenient. The rooms in the annex are Western-style rooms. It is a bit far from the main building, but you don't have to sleep on tatami, which is convenient for getting up and lying down. What's even better is that there is a hot spring pool in the room, one indoor and one outdoor. If you are a couple or a couple, you don't have to go to the men's and women's hot springs separately. Of course, the hotel also has a private family bath that can be reserved for one hour each time. In general, Kurokawa-so is a relatively niche attraction with only 2-3 buses arriving every day, but it is indeed a hot spring resort. If you like to take a hot spring bath, you can also buy a hot spring hand shape to experience the hot springs of 3 different hotels and experience the different ingredients and therapeutic effects. Kurokawa-so is a very good choice. I am very satisfied with this trip!

Everything is great. However, it is a little bit far from the center. About 5 minutes walk? I don't walk there so I don't know exactly. But it's quiet and nice. I want to go again.

The service in Black Village is very good, and the outdoor hot spring in the room is very good. The dinner at night was delicious. It was snowing when we first arrived, and the atmosphere was very beautiful. The hotel is relatively remote from the shopping street
