【Kurokawa Onsen】A soothing hot spring town where both your mind and body can melt away.

Kurokawa Onsen, located in Minamioguni Town, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture, is one of Japan's most popular hot spring destinations. Nestled quietly in the mountains, this charming hot spring town is lined with traditional inns, exuding a nostalgic atmosphere. The highlight here is the "Nyuto Tegata" (hot spring pass) for a unique hot spring hopping experience♨️. I personally visited three different hot springs, each offering distinct water qualities and ambiance, making it feel like a luxurious journey through various hot springs✨. The view of nature from the open-air baths was pure bliss. At night, the town is gently illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for strolling in a yukata. Whether you’re spending a relaxing time as a couple or seeking quiet solitude, Kurokawa Onsen is the ideal place to rejuvenate both your mind and body. 【Access】 About 50 minutes by car from JR Aso Station About 2 hours by car from Kumamoto City
