Great experience! The ryokan is close to the village centre. Room was spacious and very comfortable. The private bath was amazing, we loved it. Breakfast was very tasty and with a great variety. Dinner was good (but not great given the price).

We planned to stop at Kurokawa Onsen on our way through Hikoyama Jingu Shrine (Fukuoka Prefecture) to Kirishima Jingu Shrine (Kagoshima Prefecture) when the couple headed to Kyushu for a five-night, six-day Jingu tour from the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025. I bought a hot spring handbill at Kaze no Ya (Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Association) and went to this place rather close, This bath is not only for day trips, it is the same bath as the general accommodation, and the scenery seen from the men's open-air bath felt the babbling of the river and the taste, Also, there was a towel in the ryokan wakaba (Japanese-style inn) that I could exchange for souvenirs from one of the hot spring bills, and I liked the embroidery with the young leaves as a motif, so I immediately changed it and headed to the next onsen inn.
