Container House Villa Kurokawa　

スタッフの方が常駐されていないとのことでしたが、施設はとても清潔感があり、快適に過ごすことができました。

コンテナタイプのため音もあまり気にしなくてもいいですし、冷凍庫付き冷蔵庫や電子レンジも完備。何よりリーズナブルに黒川温泉を露天風呂で楽しめる点が最高に良かった 注意点は山の中なので周りにコンビニなどはなく、あらかじめ食事は済ませる、コンビニ等で買っておくなどしないといけないこと。

値段が安くて、室内は清潔でおしゃれな部屋でした。AIRのベッドも嬉しかったです。 室内はちょっと独特な臭いがして、エアコンをつけても消えず、そこがマイナスです。 温泉はとてもよかったけど、静かでたまたま誰もいなく、女湯にも鍵が無いのが不安でゆっくり入っていられなかったです。

オートバイで来るのに良かったですよ

施設は、綺麗で快適。 ただ季節によっては気温が低く、暖房を最強にして寝ないと夜中に寒くて目がさめる。 15分程で、スーパーも馬肉を売ってるお肉屋さんもあり、充分楽しめます。 料金も、お手頃で　満足のお宿です。

My only complaint is the road to get to the container villa is so obviously made for a one way but the kurokawa onsen village decided that traffic can struggle to figure out who has the right of way and reverse in the middle of the road… very dangerous but any who.. The actual container villa was such a vibe from the moment I pulled into the parking lot. So convenient that they had signs pointing to where I needed to go to check in and instructions in both the email and the tablet used to check in. They even had english available. Not to mention they had Louis Armstrong playing in the parking lot which gave me such a nostalgic feeling. Very wholesome experience. The kurokawa onsen area is such a quaint vibe combined with the villa’s modern take on a nostalgic past time in America. 10/10 experience. I would definitely revisit!

温泉自体はすごくいいのですが、外にあり鍵もないのでセキュリティはあまりよくないかもしれません。

구로카와 온천에서 거리가 조금 있지만, 숙소 내에 탕이 있는 좋은 숙소입니다. 또한, 넷플릭스도 볼 수 있기 때문에 비싼 구로카와 온천 료칸이 부담스럽다면 매우 좋은 선택지인 숙소입니다. 다만, 근처에 편의점이 없기 때문에 먹을 것을 미리 사서 가져가야 합니다. 겨울에는 히터를 틀어도 숙소가 좀 추웠습니다. 개인적으로 다음 방문 때에는 넷플릭스 한국어도 지원해주시면 좋겠습니다.

Caution to staying here. Pros: almost secluded with nature; very nice storage container changed into a good mobile home stay; self operated. Cons: NO shuttle/taxi/bus services to this lodging. (I even asked the manager/ possibly owner female Japanese woman, if she could give me a ride to the closest bus stop for the airport limousine bus pickup. This stop is at the VERY beginning of the ENTIRE area of onsens in Kurokawa onsens. The so-called bus stop that’s 2 minutes away from the lodging is out of service until 08/2025! This walk is 19 minutes without luggage! More with luggages and hills :) any who the woman I asked l smiled at me and said “no, thank you” and shooed me off.) Customer service is NON-Existence at container villa. Long story short on this MEGA con, get yourself a car because the little shops are far and open selected days. Bus doesn’t run that much over at the area they ONLY take CASH YEN. No IC CARDS started 11/15/2024. If you’re coming from Kumamoto city area there are only 2 buses that come out there… just get a car to go to kurokawa. Another CON: there is no lock on the female onsen door, which needs to be one AND a better dividing section of changing to get into onsen. Felt uncomfortable knowing anyone could pull the door open and can see everything from the outside in. Last con for me, but kind of expected the internet was very very VERY spotty. Hope you’re not relying on strong internet because that’s not the case if you have work stuff to complete.
