Kurokawa Onsen is one of Japan's finest hot spring resorts and time here should be spent slowly and without a thought to the outside world.
The select ryokan accommodations in Kurokawa all pipe mineral rich onsen spring water into their properties and many feature wonderful outdoor rotenburo baths — there are few simpler pleasures than soaking in a natural hot bath after a day's exploration.
A preservation order has been issued by the local authority to keep the traditional character of the town in place.
