Kurokawa Onsen Ikoi Ryokan

This time, my spouse and I traveled around Kumamoto by rental car with our two sons and stayed in Kurokawa Onsen. The atmosphere of the entire Onsen town was very calm—quiet, charming, and a wonderful place to relax at a leisurely pace. The quality of the Onsen water was excellent, and we felt deeply relaxed after bathing. The Ryokan staff were kind and attentive, and the Room was clean and comfortable. It was a very satisfying stay for our whole family and one of the most memorable highlights of our trip to Kumamoto. We highly recommend this Onsen destination for family trips as well.

The Kurokawa Onsen stay I had been looking forward to exceeded my expectations. There are 13 baths in the Accommodation, and excluding the ones attached to Rooms, I tried 8 of the 11 and was very satisfied. The Facility was spotless and sparkling clean throughout. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive down to the smallest details, making for a very pleasant stay—I’d love to come again. One note: Guests can park in the Accommodation’s parking lot, but the road is narrow.
