TOP5 Best Traditional Ryokans in Kurokawa Onsen
Kurokawa Onsen is home to many charming and quaint traditional ryokans. Ryokan means a traditional Japanese hotel. Like the gardens of temples in Kyoto, they have magnificent gates and are tastefully decorated with moss, traditional stone statues, and stone washbasin. They show us the different expressions of the four seasons. It will be a memory you will never forget.
If I had to pick a drawback, most ryokans in Kurokawa Onsen tend to have somewhat outdated facilities, but since they are cleaned and maintained frequently, it doesn’t bother me too much. However, if you’ve never stayed in a traditional ryokan before, you might find it inconvenient because the facilities are not up-to-date. Also, most of them do not have western beds in tatami rooms or elevators, which may be inconvenient for people with limited mobility or those with small children.
