I recently saw a TV program in which onsen proprietors in Kurokawa were interviewed about the sudden drop in guests visiting the area. The earthquake caused some damage but, as this blog post indicates, most establishments are up and running. They are, however, really suffering as a result of the disappearance of tourists. If you’ve got a little money to spare and would enjoy some world-class bathing, keep the Kurokawa area in mind.
