    This hot spring bathhouse is located a 15-minute drive from the Nankan Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. Encircled by atmospheric scenery, the bathhouse is replete with 13 private reservable bath buildings. One of the great things about the bathhouse is the fact that you can enjoy free-flowing spring water in all of its baths. The waters of the bathhouse' natural alkaline simple and mildly radioactive spring are renowned for treating such ailments as nerve pain, muscle soreness, sensitivity to cold, and chronic skin diseases. Each of the bath buildings is outfitted with a different bath for customers to enjoy, such as a bucket bath surrounded by mountain scenery, a chawan bath made of Arita ware porcelain, and a bath made by hollowing out a camphor tree which was over 200 years old.

    南関町にある温泉です。 お湯は柔らかく上質です。 特別混み合う事もなくて、のんびりとした温泉です。 ミストサウナしかないのが残念です。

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.
