KUROKAWA ONSEN AREA, KUMAMOTO
A quiet mountain inn of wood, steam, and seasonal food. Four rooms named for flowers, two baths, one long dinner.
Each of our four guest rooms carries the name of a flower or tree. Tatami floors, low tables, futon bedding laid out while you dine, and a quiet view of green in every direction.
Room rates shown are illustrative examples for this concept demo.
きく
A bright ten-tatami room facing the inner garden. Sit at the low table with tea, watch the light move across the moss, and sleep on futons laid fresh each evening.
from ¥22,000 per night for two, dinner and breakfast included
ゆり
Our quietest room, tucked on the second floor under the eaves. Pale wood, white walls, and deep futons. Made for readers, long sleepers, and slow mornings.
from ¥19,000 per night for two, dinner and breakfast included
もみじ
A corner room wrapped by an engawa veranda, looking out on maple trees that turn through the seasons. A tokonoma alcove holds a single seasonal hanging scroll.
from ¥26,000 per night for two, dinner and breakfast included
まつ
The largest room in the inn: a sitting room plus a twelve-tatami bedroom, made for families and unhurried groups. Evening tea is served on the wide veranda in summer.
from ¥32,000 per night for two, dinner and breakfast included
Two baths, one source. Soak under the open sky, then again before bed. Towels and yukata are provided in every room.
A stone rotenburo set among maples and moss. In the morning it steams in the cool air; at night the sky comes down close. The water is drawn from the area's hot spring source and flows continuously.
A seasonal multi-course dinner, served in your room or in the small dining hall. The menu follows the mountain calendar.
Dinner moves through the seasons: spring shoots, summer river fish, autumn mushrooms and chestnuts, winter root vegetables and hot pots. Breakfast is a quieter affair of rice, miso soup, grilled fish, and pickles.
Step outside for an evening stroll. The onsen town lights up after dark, and the paths along the river are made for slow walking in yukata and geta.
Borrow a town bath-hopping pass and wander between the public baths, or simply walk the lantern-lit streets after dinner. In the daytime, forest paths and small shrines fill an easy half day.
Call or write to us directly. Tell us your dates, your party size, and any dietary needs, and we will prepare the room and the dinner around you.
