    Kumamoto Pref. Kumagunasagirichou Okaharukita 929

    温華乃遥(おかのはる)温泉に行ってきました。 球磨盆地の真ん中にあるあさぎり町営の温泉です。黒原山の地下50mから湧き出ていて、筋・関節痛、打撲、切り傷、やけど、慢性皮膚炎などの効能があるそうです。 料金は大人300円と、とてもとてもリーズナブルです。 のんびりゆっくり子供と日ごろのつかれを癒してきました。

  • Shimoda Onsen
    Accommodations / Hot Spring
    Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Amakusamachi Shimodakita
    A hot spring district comprised of five hot springs welling forth from the ground in Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The five springs are Rendaiji Onsen, Kawachi Onsen, Shirahama Onsen, Kannon Onsen, and Aitama Onsen; only the Kannon Onsen is a highly alkaline simple spring, the other four are regular simple springs. Shimoda City is the location where America's black ships landed and was the setting of much turmoil at the end of the Edo period, and here visitors can stay at a hot spring inn and take in the area's rich history, ocean beauty, and tranquil woodlands. The area is also rich in all the bounties of the land and sea and visitors can delight in sampling the unending parade of local culinary delights found here. In addition, Shimoda also flourished as a relay port connecting ships traveling between the east and the west from the Edo period onward, a history which among other things gave rise to the Shimoda geisha. Although irregular, visitors to the Former Sawamura Residence, a historic old home, might just get to watch geisha practicing their traditional arts.
  • Aso Uchinomaki Onsen
    Accommodations / Hot Spring
    Kumamoto
    This hot spring area is one of the largest in Aso. Lacking a typical concentrated hot spring town district, the area is dotted with some 80 source springs and 30 hot spring hotels and inns. There are also around 10 day trip hot spring bathhouses, some offering food, others private reservable baths, and each with its own unique characteristics and features, thus making it fun to choose the one that suits your tastes and interests best. In addition, the area is full of things to see and do, including Aso Nature Land, an outdoor shop and tour company which helps customers enjoy the great outdoors of Aso; a rose garden where you can appreciate roses from around the world; and the Myokoji Temple, which appears in the beginning of renowned author Natsume Soseki’s novel “The 210th Day.” Among the many local restaurants serving dishes made with fresh, Kumamoto grown vegetables and Aso’s famous Aka beef, particularly recommended is the “Aka Gyudon” Aka beef rice bowl offered by Imakin Shokudo, an inexpensive Japanese-style diner which has been in business for over a century.
  • Hinagu Onsen
    Accommodations / Hot Spring
    Kumamoto Yatsushiro-shi Hinagu
    According to legend, this ancient hot spring area was cultivated after a young man, seeking to heal his father’s sword wound, received a revelation from the god Itsukushima Myojin. The area has been a popular destination for therapeutic hot spring bathing since the time of its cultivation in 1409 during the distant Nanboku-cho period until the present day. The soft, velvety waters of the area’s primarily alkaline simple springs are gentle on the skin and not prone to causing dizziness even after extended bathing sessions, making them popular with men and women of all ages. Hinagu is also famous for its production of chikuwa fish sausages and many people come here to pick up some to take home or give to friends and relatives.

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.
