お部屋での夕食で、お料理がとても美味しかったです。仲居さんも気配り目配り心配りが素晴らしく、大変快適に過ごせました。子供がまだ小さいので残念ながら全ては回れませんでしたが、お風呂もいくつもありますのでとても楽しめます。またいつかお世話になりたいです。

黒川温泉に泊まるなら黒川荘！

黒川温泉の中でも、かなり良い宿だと思います。 料理は工夫されていて、とても美味しく適度な量でした。 温泉も3種類あり、湯巡り不要だと思うほどです。 年配と若い男性のスタッフの人も話しやすく、とても親切で丁寧な対応でした。

日本トップクラスの優良温泉か？

新型コロナウィルス騒動の最中で、客が少なかったことから通常以上の丁寧なサービスを受けられた可能性もあるかもしれませんが、それでも、最高のサービスと施設でした。巡り湯用も含めれば、露天風呂だけで４つ楽しめる。内湯や貸し切り風呂も良かったです。部屋のなかにある植物ディスプレーに雪が舞うのを見て外で雪が降っていることがわかり驚いた。
