    The cottage was great and very affordable for a whole family. The facilities where great.

    This cottage area is conveniently close to Kurokawa onsen. My family was able to enjoy the wonderful hot springs then enjoy some casual relaxing time tiger in a wonderful cottage.

    The owners were so friendly and nice, they knew we were looking at houses to buy and were excited to show us their beautiful kominka (old Japanese house). We asked about a laundromat in town and they let us use theirs, which was great because the other one closed before 7pm and we would've had to rush back from dinner or our onsen in Kurokawa village. We didn't cook but the kitchen in this cabin was big and perfect for longer stays and cooking meals.

    Everything was nice

    The owner was extremely nice!!! We were late for Yukata renting and I asked her for some advices. Instead she called the rental place and arranged that for us, return our Yukata the next morning when we checked out. (Normally you should return the Yukata by four pm but she talked to the rental place for us!)

    The cottage was really nice but they gave us bunk beds. It would have been so much better to have regular beds. There is nothing really to complain about everything was fine other than the bunk beds.

    We had the whole cottage for our stay. There was a small kitchen to cook our own food. The place was accessible by car, actually you have to have a car to get there. There was free WiFi.

    I think it's easier to come with a car, but if you don't, the owners will make sure you can enjoy it all the same.

    This stay was really amazing. The owners are the sweetest ! We didn't have a car, so they drove us to the village for Onsen and groceries, and gave us great advice. We just had to take a taxi back, and enjoy our time at the huge and well-furnished cottage. The bathroom is amazing, and you can even privatize Mori's cottage's Onsen. Mori no cottage goes above and beyond. Thank you so much!

    We did not have a car and we were very lucky that the owners were so friendly and drove us around, because it is quite a walk from the onsen town.

    The couple were the best hosts. They helped us with everything, from advising us on the best onsen, to driving us between the accommodation and Kurokawa. It's a beautiful place to stay and we loved it.

    Nothing

    The most lovely thing I like was a staff, I would call "Obasan" (おばさん). She was so kind to me. Eventhough she is not good at communicating in English, at that time, she tried to do by using translation App. About the house, the size is quite big that we can open our lugguges widely.

    They should have inform me to pay when i went into their office as I also forgot that it should pay at property as all hotel i booked via booking.com is auto charge to credit card. Lucky i was 25km away when I saw their message as i am on my way to fukuoka or else i think i just bank transfer to them 😅 This cottage dont suit for winter time as onsen also not availabe as it is frozen.

    The staff is very friendly and helpful especially when i face difficulties in winter time. Really appreciate their help on finding snow chain for my tyre as i don know it will snow heavily during my stay there. After seeing news in the tv, only realise the time i arrive, it snows heavily in 10 years. The cottage is very comfy and nice for family getaway. Location wise very near to Kurokawa onsen and Kuju ski resort but itnis better if you have a car.

    The only disadvantage is the location: up the hill with a heavy luggage and in the darkness (the cottage is in the forest) for around 25 minutes from the city center- it’s a lot.

    The owners are really very friendly! they took me to the city two times with their car. They brought me coffee and snacks on arrival and helped to carry my heavy luggage. Private onsen for a small sum was really just great and beautiful! The cottage is cozy and has everything you might need.

    The friendly owners went out of their way to be very helpful and hospitable. They were waiting for us when we got off the bus so they could take us and our bags to the cottage. They dropped us back in Kurokawa for the Onsens and the next day for the bus out. Lovely private onsen on the premises for use in the evening. The owners went out of their way to help when I left my camera at the property too. Highly recommended.
