Kurofune Hotel has a nostalgic charm reminiscent of the 1960s, offering spacious rooms with fantastic views of the bay. However, the hotel shows signs of wear, and the dining options could improve, especially considering the pricing. While the onsens are pleasant, cleanliness can be inconsistent, and the overall value feels average for what you receive.

Kurofune has a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of a 1960s hotel, with spacious rooms and a lovely view of the bay. While comfortable, the hotel shows signs of aging and needs some updates. The onsen experience was pleasant but marred by cleanliness issues on the first day. The restaurant is seasonal, which limits dining options outside of summer, but the bar is a hidden gem with fantastic food. Overall, it’s a unique experience, particularly if you appreciate a more tranquil setting.

The Kurofune Hotel has an excellent view, but it feels more like a typical tourist spot rather than a traditional on-sen hotel. The rooms are spacious, but the facilities and dining options need improvement, especially considering the price. While some offerings like the grilled live abalone are delightful, there are disappointments, such as the freshness of the lobster. Overall, it's not ideal value for money but carries a unique charm.

Our stay here was a peaceful escape with a traditional Japanese vibe. The ocean view rooms were spacious and featured private baths that added a nice touch to our experience. While the dining was spectacular, offering one of the best meals during our trip, the hotel itself felt a bit dated, echoing a charming retro essence but needing some updates. Overall, it was worth it for the serene atmosphere and the authentic Japanese experience.

The hotel offers stunning views and a unique retro charm, but it's starting to show its age, which might disappoint some modern travelers. The onsen experience is nice, though not always perfectly clean. The dining options have a mix of quality, where some offerings shine while others fall flat. Overall, it feels a bit touristy, but you might appreciate the traditional vibe and scenic beauty.
