Hotel Kurobe

“Amazing experience! Has everything! ”

I stayed at this hotel for 1 night after going on the Kurobe Gorge railway (which is a 10-15min walk, 2min taxi journey from the hotel). The hotel is lovely. My room was massive and could sleep about 5 people comfortably. The view from my room was of the mountains and every so often the railway train would go by which was wonderful to see. They provide a yukata for you to wear during your stay which was lovely. The room has everything you need including a safe, a fridge, hot water for green tea, a bathroom, even a TV (which I didn't use). The dinner experience was amazing, I had a 12 course meal which was exceptional. Please note that not many people speak. English here so you'll need to know a few words to get by but don't let that put you off! The Onsen in this place was AMAZING!! I went at night about 9pm, and it's open 24hrs! There's a large bath inside but the best place is the outside one, don't worry no one can see you! At night you can see all the stars it is SENSATIONAL!! Best place so far on my travels! I had a fantastic night's sleep which was followed by breakfast which was a treat!!! There is also free WiFi in this place and also if your collecting the stamp prints they have their own one!! One thing to be wary of, there are wild Japanese macaques around. I walked from the railway station to the hotel in the evening and just before I got to the hotel 2 of them ran after me! 😂 It has no bearing on the hotel, but please make sure you get a taxi to this place!! They're wild and not friendly!! Haha All in all, I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking of going to Kurobe, it was about a 3 hour journey from Tokyo, I used my JR pass to get me to Shin-Kurobe. You then need to get a local train to Unazukionsen which will cost ¥640.

“Beautiful Location Overlooking the Gorge”

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Kurobe. We had reserved a Japanese style room for the three of us. When we arrived at night we couldn't have asked for a more helpful person at reception.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Kurobe. We had reserved a Japanese style room for the three of us. When we arrived at night we couldn't have asked for a more helpful person at reception. Do not expect the staff to speak English. After a bit of limited Japanese from our son, she was able to understand that we hadn't been able to get dinner before arriving. Since the dining room at the hotel was closed already, this lady was so gracious to drive us back through the town to find a restaurant that was still open. She also left us a card with a phone number to call when we wanted to return to the hotel so we could be picked up. What terrific service! Our room was very clean and nicely decorated. There was a washroom with only a toilet but there is also a sink and vanity in the main room for convenience. They have an onsen in the building for bathing and soaking. You can soak outside looking over the gorge. We were quite comfortable sleeping for the night on the tatami mats. In the morning we had breakfast in the dining room which overlooks the gorge. Our table was ready exactly at the time we requested the night before. We especially enjoyed the egg that was cooked in the onsen. It was quite a large meal with fish, rice and vegetables too. It's an ideal location for people heading to the Kurobe Gorge train ride. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit there. Try to arrive in the town during daylight. It was a confusing walk trying to find the location in the dark. There were no taxis at the station when we arrived. In fact the town seemed deserted at night. We were so happy to finally find the hotel and then to be greeted by someone so welcoming. Domo arigato!
