Amazing onsen experience! The property is pretty much hidden in the mountains and only accessible by car. The rooms are spacious and feel luxurious. We stayed in the house with both indoor and outdoor private onsen and it was lifechanging.

THis was my first stay in a Ryokan and it did not disappoint. THe whole experience was magical - the room, the view over the hills, forest and town, the baths. The meals were excellent - two different breakfasts and and we took to the opportunity to have the Kaiseki dinners - an amazing assortment of tastes and textures. Kurokawa is a magical town that is wonderful to walk aroundand we took the opportunity to get an Onsen passport to try a few of the other baths. THe parking is easy. THe staff were excellent and patiently helped us understand the way to to enjoy a Ryokan

Kurokawa onsen is extraordinary one of all onsens. Fumoto ryokan is located in the center of Kurokawa. Very nice staff with good English communication. Dinner was Japanese kiseki with horse sashimi, Aso beef tepanyaki, tempura, assorted vegetable and one glass of local sake. The meal was really delicious for me and my husband, my child meal was hamberg rice, curry, tonkutsu and it's also excellent. Private onsen was no need for reservation, there are a lot of rooms for private onsens. I didn't see any review about children so I was a little worry. But when I got there with my 9-year-old girl, they treated my child very well, all amenities for kid, kid yukata, kid meals and a puppy doll at her bed. They are definite​ly kid-friendly ryokan.

This ryokan is exceptional. From the decor to the facilities to the friendliness of the general staff we felt welcomed and relaxed throughout. We had planned to visit other onsen ryokan on our visit to Kurokawa but quickly realised that we didn’t need to - it was all right here. There are 6 private unique baths on top of the excellent rotenburo (men’s and women’s outdoor pools separate but alternate each day) and with our limited time in Kurokawa (one night only) we were able to make use of 4 of the private baths and both of the rotenburo (one on each of the days). A great feature was the no booking system for the private baths - it was first come first serve but there were lights that showed you which was occupied. Even better, there was a screen on the tv in your room which told you which were occupied so you could plan which one to go to before you headed down. There was also public indoor baths but we didn’t have time to utilise these. Our kids (ages 11 and 15) enjoy the table tennis and the massage chairs as well as the baths. The views over the river from our room were beautiful especially at night with the illuminations in the river downstream from the bridge easily visible. We really enjoyed the food though some of the selections were a bit too challenging for the kids. Surprisingly though they both enjoyed the horse-meat sashimi!

Had a little trouble finding the exact entrance area as the sun is setting and it was raining a little. Called the hotel and was addressed by a staff who could speak mandarin and it’s really wonderful cause we were in distress by then. He checked our location and came out to find us and lead us the right way to the hotel. Very polite and has provided us very excellent service throughout. Too bad we didn’t get his name but it was a young guy from guangdong, he really made our stay so enjoyable. Keep up the good work!
