Kurokawaso

A hot springs inn perfect for a relaxing day away surrounded by nature.

Last update :

This inn sits just 1 km from the Kurokawa Onsen hot springs area, tucked away in the coveted silence away from the city bustle.

Set with rooms both in the main and annexed inn, the rooms here feature chic interiors with iconically Japanese aesthetic and touches of modern flair. The soft lighting lends itself to a cool and quiet time away. At the annexed room you'll find a hideaway in nature featuring a warm hearth and open air baths for you to love.

The inn is known for its open air bath, lined with long, separated stones. Many guests know the hot springs for its hydrogencarbonate properties drawn straight from the source, known for its gentle waters and emerald green source. You can even visit for a drop-in soak during the day, giving you plenty of time to relax away from the spare baths for overnight guests.

For meals, prepare for a delight of tastes, featuring creative kaiseki cuisine made with regional, seasonal delicacies. The plating for each dish is absolutely impeccable, giving you an extra special sense of pomp and circumstance. There’s even an option to enjoy your meal in your room for ultimate relaxation.
