Guesthouse Kuju No Kura

If you visit Kurokawa just for onsens, Guesthouse Kuju No Kura might not for you. If you want to enjoy not only onsens but also tracking, this is for you. The altitude of the guesthouse is pretty high, so that you could enjoy a great view. The guesthouse is about 2 kms away from the Kurokawa Onsen Information Center. The host provided rides to and from the center.

Despite our language barrier, the owner loves conversing with people, which is why he decided to open his guesthouse. He even recommended a little path that shows a great sunrise. I was greeted with some deers hopping in the distance at 6.30am. Truly magical and breathtaking. This is THE place for solo travellers. There’s a saying that it’s the people that makes the trip enjoyable and this place is proof. He charges for accommodation cheaply but offers beyond the cost, within his means happily. He loves anime like Attack on Titan and has watched Laputa 21 times. His hobbies include biking, hiking and has hiked Mt Kuju several times, Mt Aso too. He travelled to Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand solo trip too, and wants to do it again 3 years later. As my first time doing solo travelling, I couldn't be luckier than this to have met this wonderful host. I would say so far, my time spent in Kurokawa Onsen and together with the host is my whole trip’s highlight. I felt very safe and comfortable in this living space and truly enjoyed the nature surrounding it as well. I love the location of the guesthouse because I love walking and hiking. The main area of Kurokawa Onsen is quite a walk itself, so walking to the guesthouse was just extra leisure for me. Just make sure to follow google maps and the various sign boards he’s put up along the way! He offers a ride back and forth at 8.10am and 5pm to the main area anyway and to the supermarket if needed, very generous of him! Make sure to not be shy and chit-chat a lot with him! It was so much fun. The room was very cozy and with the 6 beds arranged, an extra 100 yen per night for the heater is totally reasonable to me! it felt like I was back to school and enjoyed the cleanliness and casualness of everything. Damn, this place has great interior design too. The lights have motion sensors, pretty cool! He also has his own little beautiful hot spring which you should pay extra if you want to bathe at night. Personally did not find the need after bathing at the town haha. Thank you for the comfort of home and lovely company!! I hope many people who enjoy company and nature stay here!! Highly recommended for at least 2 nights! The onsens are all very good and beautiful. I want to come again.

All Good

獨旅的最佳選擇 抵達之後記得請當地的服務中心或溫泉旅館打電話給老闆 會有專車接送

宿舍挺乾淨，性價比超高，就在平野台旁邊，位置稍微有點難找，看到這個白色牌子往上走就可以。老闆人也挺好的，還帶我去便利店買吃的。

道が狭くて場所は分かりづらいです。 ご飯食べるところが近くにないので不便です。 温泉も近いので寝るだけだと十分です
