Ryokan Ichinoi旅館 壱の井 · りょかん いちのい
Ichinoi sits a short way uphill from the centre of Kurokawa Onsen, about five minutes on foot, and has 14 rooms. The spring is a simple sulphur spring, with an indoor bath and the Kodachi-no-yu open-air bath for each sex plus four paid family baths. Meals are served in a dining area rather than in rooms, and the building has many stairs and no lift.
