・・・Plan Description・・・ Shinmeikan is known for its sunken hearth and cave baths. Guests of all ages and from all over the world enjoy it. Please savor the specialties of Shinmeikan. Our most recommended plan! A sunken hearth, rarely seen nowadays. It's like something out of the old tales you were read as a child. Enjoy your meal in a nostalgic atmosphere. You can actually grill your food right in front of you, so you can enjoy it cooked to your preferred level. ...Meals... Dinner is served at a dining area with a sunken hearth, offering a rustic charm. Warm skewered river fish over charcoal fire, and enjoy grilled Higo beef and vegetables. Savor the simple flavors unique to a mountain inn. The dining area with a sunken hearth is a tatami room. For groups of 4 or more, tables may be separated. Thank you for your understanding. Kurokawa Onsen Our inn, a member of the Association to Preserve Japan's Secret Hot Springs, features a cave bath, open-air bath, indoor bath, and private family bath (free of charge). Among them, the most popular is the 'cave bath'. The former president Tetsuya, also known as the father of Kurokawa, spent 10 years digging the backyard rocky hill with a hammer and chisel to create it. Inside the cave is more spacious than you'd imagine, and the steam creates a sauna effect that gently penetrates and provides relaxation. For those who want to enjoy it slowly, early mornings with fewer guests are the best time! ・・・Accommodation Benefits・・・ After checkout, if you present your accommodation certificate, you can use the baths at our sister establishments 'Yamamizuki' and 'Miyama Sanso' for free. * Please note that a separate bathing tax of 150 yen will be charged on-site. * This plan is not eligible for the Japan Association of Secret Hot Springs stamps.
