Mountain View Hotels in Minamioguni

This has to be the worst hotel I've stayed at in Japan that costs over 2000 yen a night. Pros: 1. Warm and friendly service. 2. Chinese-speaking staff available. 3. Shuttle service arrangements were very smooth. Cons: 1. Appalling cleanliness. There were cockroaches in the room, a thick layer of dust on the windowsill, and the air conditioning unit was completely filled with spiderwebs. 2. Small, unappetizing food portions with very mediocre ingredients. Even two people with small appetites couldn't get full. 3. The environment was severely lacking. The courtyard was completely neglected and messy. I'd wanted to visit Kurokawa Onsen since 2018, after seeing many heavily filtered vlogs from bloggers. However, this place is genuinely just ordinary. There are countless other onsen towns that are far superior. Honestly, I had no interest in taking any photos, so I'll just share a few pictures of dinner. This was essentially the entire meal, with the main course being an extremely small serving.

The whole experience was fantastic! The inn lives up to its name, surrounded by mountains and forests, with the sound of the river and the aroma of burning longan wood, taking the sensory experience to another level! Every service was incredibly attentive! Unfortunately, I couldn't eat much, but both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious! After a hot spring bath, you absolutely must try the Kurokawa milk and coffee milk! It was superb and so enjoyable! The only downside is that it's a bit far from town, but having the shuttle service is really great! I'll definitely visit again if I get the chance, and staying for a few nights would be even more enjoyable!

Супер рекан. Очень чисто и номер отлично оснащен. Очень вкусное и разнообразное кайсэки. Есть семейные онсены и общие в самом рекане. Для купания в ванне под открытым небом надо идти в гору через реку, что не очень удобно. В целом, понравилось. Учтите, что душ и удобства общие и находятся в онсене, туалет и умывальник - в каждом номере свои. В целом, для остановки на 1 день не доставляет неудобства.

The accommodation is a 7-minute drive from Kurokawa Onsen, and you have a private onsen in your room. The bed is very comfortable. The staff is very friendly.

Sure enough, the water temperature of the hot springs meets the requirements. In order to adapt to foreigners who don’t like heat, many hot springs have lowered the water temperature, so it doesn’t feel like soaking. The interior style is also the feeling of the Taisho era😄

It’s a good private house. But I’m won’t recommend if weather is cold or raining, or if you’re traveling with young kids. I travelled with my family with two toddlers. The bath and onsen are outdoors, not quite well lit and not well covered. The hot water water pressure is low, and the water is either very hot or very cold. It was a cold, raining and windy that night. It was a horrible experience for us because of the above, and the kids had a lot of trouble taking a bath. And we were worried they might catch a cold. And strangely the door lock of the bath is locked from the outside and not from the inside. Also remember to buy food before entering. We bought ours and cooked our own dinner. Otherwise, it’s a good private house, probably best for adults.

Transportation) If you write a pickup request in the memo, they will pick you up at the information center or bus stop! Accommodation) I stayed in the main building, and it was clean and had a charming traditional feel! There were not many people on the day we stayed, so we used it like a private bath, and there were men's and women's baths, 2 family baths, and a mixed bath. It felt like we had a villa with a hot spring hidden in the forest, so my friend and I were very satisfied. ＞＜ Kaiseki) They also served local specialties such as seasonal vegetable tempura and horse meat sashimi, and they gave us enough for a woman. The horse meat and plum wine were so delicious that I remember them. + I checked out without even knowing that I had left my jacket on a hanger, but I was grateful that they found the store we were in and went to find it. ㅠㅜ
