Gekkoju Kurokawa

The location of the hotel is slightly inferior and you need to drive by yourself. But I felt very good after arriving. The overall quality was high-end, and the in room dining was excellent. The hotel staff were friendly and the special bath in the room was perfect.

I remember seeing a review that said, "Except for the high price, everything else is very good." Sure enough. This hotel has only eight suites (or villas with hot springs inside). Each villa has its own name and has its own characteristics. The hotel we stayed at this time was called Gongzhang. The room is very large, decorated with antique style, spotlessly clean. The privacy is extremely high. Your own suite has a dining room with a charcoal grill (you can choose to enjoy high-end Japanese cuisine here), a bathing hot spring, and a large outdoor hot spring with a rock shape (usually only seen on travel programs) ), there are small indoor hot springs for footbaths (I heard that only three of them have this facility), and there are two other hot springs in the public area outside, but each household has a private time reservation and is unique. The hotel also specially matched Chinese-speaking waiters, and the service was very good. This stay was the highlight of the trip!

Although the hotel is located in a relatively high location in Kurokawa Onsen, it is relatively quiet and comfortable. People who do not drive themselves can make an appointment for hotel pick-up service. The driver is very friendly and kind. Upon arrival, as soon as I stepped into the hotel, the service was impeccable. I felt like I was at home. The waiters were kind and attentive. The food was fresh and rich. I really felt it was worth the money. Our reservation is for spring and summer in June. We will definitely visit again in winter. It is a worthwhile experience.

The bad reviews of the service were for the agency and Ctrip customer service. Later, Ctrip customer service apologized to me sincerely. It is best to book on the official website yourself. The agency is too bad. The service of the hotel is excellent. The hotel is in Kurokawa Onsen. I am a free traveler and do not drive myself. The transportation is inconvenient. There is no train, only bus, and there are only three buses a day. The Kurokawa Onsen bus station is an unmanned station with no toilets, no taxis, and no business. Based on some common sense about the inconvenience of transportation in the secret hot spring, I asked Ctrip customer service to make an appointment for the station the day before, and was told that there was no pick-up service and I had to walk there myself. At that time, I felt that it was wrong. Apple navigation said that it was 20 minutes away. As a result, I was dumbfounded when I arrived at the station. I contacted the hotel myself. The front desk did not speak English well. He asked me where my name came from and immediately knew that he sent a car to pick me up. When I arrived, the driver bowed and apologized to me. It took 5 or 6 minutes to drive to the hotel. It was all uphill without signs. When checking in, the hotel staff said that they wanted to ask me how to get to the hotel, but the agency was a landline and no one answered. The hotel has always had a pick-up service. Yueguangshu Hotel is almost perfect. There are only 8 rooms, each of which is very good, and the facilities and supplies are extremely attentive and of excellent quality. Each room has two indoor and outdoor hot springs. The hot spring water is of excellent quality and is really skin-beautifying. The food is top-notch and very enjoyable. In addition, the hotel does not need to find staff who can speak Chinese. Japanese employees are much more polite and enthusiastic. It is enough to use translation software or gestures. The main reason for coming to Japan is that I like the enthusiasm and uncompromised service. In short, Gekkoju is worth a try and I will come again. The water quality of Kurokawa Onsen is well-deserved. There are also high-quality hotels such as Takefu. It is up to you to choose a budget. They are all quite good, but it is too deserted and the transportation is inconvenient. There are no convenience stores or coffee shops, only two or three restaurants. If you want to stay a few more days and stay in a few more hotels, you don’t know where to go after checking out at noon.

The third time I stayed here, I was lucky enough to book the same room type for two nights in a row. First, the food on Saturday is better than that on Friday, no matter morning or evening. Second experience, if possible, try to stay for 2-3 nights. Staying for 1 night is still a bit rushed. Staying for one more night will give you a much better experience. The third feeling is that the service is as excellent as ever, the best price in Honshu + Kyushu, real butler-style service.

Thank you very much Butler Guo for your service to us! Kind and polite! Try your best to meet our requirements! The room is beautiful! The hot springs are great!

The staff, the food, the bathroom, and the room were all very nice. thank you very much. Sorry to bother you again.

Apart from being expensive, there are no drawbacks! An ultimate enjoyment! The hotel provides one stay and two meals, both meals are very delicious, recommended! In addition to the private bath in the room, you can also make reservations for the sky bath and the cave bath at the top of the mountain, both of which have their own characteristics. The hot spring town is also very interesting to visit, one step at a time~ The hotel service was considerate and they even prepared Wagyu burgers for us to take on the road when we left.
