I went in mid-September. You can relax with delicious food and a pleasant bath. My mind has been enriched by being able to relax and spend time in a wonderful space. I'm glad I was able to go.

We stayed here for one night in early August. The first floor had a dining area, a relaxing space with a fireplace, a bath, and guest rooms.The second floor is a guest room, and there is a bookshelf and table set near the window at the end where you can read a book.I stayed for one night with two meals, and both dinner and breakfast were very elaborate, delicious, and filled me up.I was impressed by the freshness of the fresh vegetables. Enjoy a luxurious breakfast while sitting on the terrace, looking directly at Mt. Kurohime.The owner and his wife are kind and have a homely atmosphere. You can also purchase jams made with various fruits 😊

I stayed here for the first time in three years since the coronavirus, as my husband was returning home to visit his parents. Even though Kurohime is a place rich in nature, it is located in a location where you can go smoothly without worrying about passing by oncoming cars.If you take a walk around the scenery from the window, you will feel the small flowers, fresh greenery, and the natural grandeur of Mt. Kurohime and Mt. Myoko, which will cleanse and soothe your soul.Also, as mentioned in other reviews, although the exterior looks historic, the interior is surprisingly clean, and I was impressed by how they managed to maintain it this way.You will be soothed by the carefully prepared dinner and breakfast. There was a large selection of items, and both my stomach and heart were satisfied. Even the children who don't like vegetables said they were delicious and even ate dishes they wouldn't normally eat. However, dinner is served in courses, so it takes about 2 hours to finish eating. It may not be suitable for people who are impatient or want to have a quick meal. I was very happy because I was able to make time to meet my family and enjoy dinner in a relaxed manner.There is a shower in the room, but the cypress bath was also pleasant. My husband praises the fact that if you take a bath while it's daylight, you can enjoy the view while taking a bath. (Unfortunately, it was pitch black outside because I had eaten it after dinner...tears)It's been a while since we went on a family trip, but we had a special time together. I'm looking forward to visiting with my family again.
