The entire inn, bathroom, open-air bath, room, and most of all, the food, was great. On the way back, we toured Kusasenri, the crater of Mt. Aso, and slowly returned to the real world.It was a luxurious time, like a dream.Thank you to all the trainees who helped prepare the ceremony and saw them off on their way home. Thanks to you, I had an enjoyable meal.

20240813 I had visited this inn twice before on Onsen Tegata, and the atmosphere of the building was nice and I wanted to stay there, so I decided to visit this time (^^)It was just as I expected, the atmosphere was nice and relaxing! ! To be honest, the location of the open-air bath outside was not very good as there were dead insects and river weeds growing all the time... That was the only disappointing thing, but the bath in the room was With good healing light! I felt so relaxed that I quickly left the open-air bath and soaked in the hot spring in my room (^^)It was right around the time of the meteor shower, so when I sneaked into the parking lot in the middle of the night, I saw a staff member there (;^ω^) We looked at some meteors together and had a good time chatting with them (^^)I could see the Milky Way and the stars were beautiful! !

A small inn located quietly near the source of the Okukuro River.Everywhere is clean and well-maintained, so when you step out of your room, you can enjoy a forest bath and take a deep breath!The baths are both indoor baths and open-air baths, not to mention rooms attached.There is also a large open-air bath. However, it is a little disappointing that many of the areas are hidden by Yoshizu and freshly laid trees, giving it a sense of openness similar to that of a mountain succulent tree. Both dinner and breakfast pursue basic deliciousness without trying anything out of the ordinary. To be honest, I wish I had eaten a little more slowly. Regardless, Kurokawa's level of relaxation is the best in Kurokawa, and I, who had been devoted to Yamamizuki for many years, started having an affair for the first time in a while.evoked. The alcohol list includes sake, shochu, wine, and even Moet & Chandon. That's also a really good price. Suitable for middle-aged people who are used to traveling.

If you are coming from the hot spring town, you will have to go up a road that only allows one car to pass.I get nervous when there is an oncoming car.I think it's a very quiet place so you can relax.What wasn't good・There are places where the tatami mats sink deeper when you walk.・There were insects in the passage leading from the guest room to the bath (extra large ants)- There were slugs and insects floating in the indoor bath in the guest room.・The wooden bucket has turned black and has slimy stains.(I think it's because of the ingredients in the hot springs, but I don't really want to touch them.)・The lighting in the bathroom is dark.What was good about it・Welcome drink and fruits are provided.・The quality of hot water is good.・There is almost no contact with other customers.・Meals can be eaten in a private room.・The food is delicious.・I appreciate the staff's thoughtfulness. We were also able to take a commemorative photo.・You can see the river from the open-air bath.・The view from the room is beautiful.・You can hear Higurashi singing at night and birds chirping in the morning. It's tasteful and nice.I took the initiative and chose a ryokan with a separate annex, but I was really disappointed in the bathroom in the guest room.I never thought I would choose not to enter.It's summer and there's a lot of nature around, so I guess it can't be helped, but I thought I'd at least take precautions against insects and slugs.It would have been nice to have an open-air bath, but I was floating in an indoor bath, so I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.I wonder if they don't even check the bathroom before checking in.If you hate insects, we do not recommend staying at this time of year.The reviews were good and it was expensive, so I had high expectations that it would be beautiful.I regret that I should have done more research.I'm pretty satisfied with everything except the bath.
