Enjoy two types of hot spring sources, Yakushi and Bihada, across seven baths at the Kurokawa Onsen property.
There is a property quietly nestled within a vast deciduous forest, where the trees display the changing beauty of the four seasons to visitors. As night falls, the surroundings are enveloped in a soft light, creating a fantastical world distinct from the daytime.
I stayed one night at Sanga in Kurokawa Onsen, in the “Natsutsubaki” Room. Above all, the hospitality was outstanding, and the thoughtful attention—never intrusive—made my entire stay very comfortable. The meals were delicious and thoroughly satisfying. Although it rained during my stay, the damp weather only enhanced the Accommodation’s serene atmosphere, to the point that I felt I had actually come on a good day. The Room was kept very clean; given the natural setting, insects do appear from time to time, but I appreciated that insect repellent was properly provided. It’s an Accommodation I would love to stay at again.
20代男性アラサー都内住 8/20/2026It was a very nice Ryokan. The food, the baths, the service, and even the Jersey milk after bathing were all excellent. There were many international guests as well, but everyone was quiet and respectful, which I appreciated.Just one point: my child’s rate was half price, but the meal was a kids’ plate. Since my child doesn’t like “kid-style” dishes such as fried shrimp, they ate from the adults’ meal instead, and I ended up eating the kids’ meal. I would have appreciated being informed in advance that children would be served a different dinner.

Introduction of the Accommodation

At Sanga, our motto is "cuisine that inspires," utilizing an abundance of seasonal and local ingredients.

Rooms surrounded by the atmosphere of the four seasons: the fresh greenery of spring, the deep green of summer, the autumn foliage, and the snow of winter. We offer various types of rooms, including 8 to 10 tatami-sized rooms, two-room suites, rooms with indoor and outdoor baths, and detached rooms. Please choose according to your preference.

Ryokan Sanga no Yu is an Onsen with 100% natural flow from two private sources: Yakushi no Yu (simple sulfur spring) and Bihada no Yu (sodium chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate spring). Within a 3000-tsubo area, we have prepared seven different types of baths, including open-air baths, indoor baths, barrel baths, and private baths.

A lobby equipped with a hearth and wood stove. Enjoy a tranquil time while gazing at the courtyard with a small stream flowing through.
