旅館 こうの湯
All rooms in this hotel, which is located slightly away from the bustling Kurokawa Onsen resort, are separated in individual buildings, and are equipped with private open-air baths.
The open-air onsen includes a "tachiyu" that is considered to be the deepest in Japan, where guests can bath standing, and a private open-air onsen.
Dinner meals offer such a gorgeous lineup of dishes that they could be referred to as a "course of Japanese tradition".
