    Kumamoto Aso-gun Minamiogunimachi Manganji 6991-1
    This liquor store is situated in the almost exact center of Kurokawa Onsen near the border with Oita Prefecture. In business for over a century, the liquor store has watched over the changes the hot spring district has experienced in this time. The store sells Kurokawa shochus, local beers, and delicious sakes crafted from the natural abundances of Minamioguni. In addition, the store sells an original junmai ginjo sake planned by the store and produced by Kawazu Shuzo, a local sake brewery; this sake is aromatic and has a nice finish. Another product the store sells, a local beer called Yuagari Bijin which has a fruity aroma and which is particularly recommended to enjoy after a hot spring bath, is also highly regarded. In addition to alcoholic beverages, the store also sells souvenirs and daily necessities.

    Kumamoto Aso-gun Minamiogunimachi Manganji Kurokawa 6696-1
    This liquor store is situated along the Igozaka hill road in Kurokawa Onsen. The store sells local beers and original choice alcoholic beverages crafted using pure Aso spring water and rice and barley grown in Aso. Many of the store's choice beverages can be found no place else, such as Isshokenmei, a rice shochu; and Hotarumaru Cider, developed as part of a project to restore Aso Shrine. Operating out of a remodeled building originally used as a kura storehouse, inside the earthen floor humidifies the establishment, and a coolness hangs in the air even in summer. The store has a distinctive exterior facade but its entrance is low and narrow, so be sure to take care not to bump your head when leaving.

    Kumamoto Hitoyoshi-shi Shinmachi 15
    "A shop founded in 1897 specializing in shochu Japanese spirits from the Kuma region. They handle 28 varieties from around the area. As it's sold measured out in 100 milliliter units, it's a good way to try Kuma-made shochu's variety of flavors and aromas. The knowledgeable staff members are qualified ""Kuma shochu guides"" who will tell you how the spirits are made and ways to store them. The shop also has a roughly 30-minute program where you can make your own shochu bottle label. (reservation required)"

    人吉城から西に数百m。球磨川のほとりに近いところにあった老神神社でのお参りを済ませた後、神社の鳥居前にあったこちらのお店、一期屋さんにおじゃましました。お酒好きの主人が、「人吉と言えば球磨焼酎!」と言って、こちらのお店で球磨焼酎を購入しました。 酒屋さんとしては広い店内には、たくさんの球磨焼酎が並んでいました。特徴ごとにいくつかの島に分かれて並んでいます。球磨焼酎は米焼酎だということで、店員さ...

Kumamoto Areas

around-area-map

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
