Harazuru Onsen

4.0

A hot spring district situated on the border between Fukuoka Prefecture and Oita Prefecture. Harazuru means Plain Crane, and according to legend this area was developed into a hot spring resort when it was found that the waters of a puddle being used by an injured crane to heal itself were in fact from a hot spring source. The district's picturesque location commands a view of the Chikugo River, the largest river in the Kyushu region; meanwhile, area flower gardens present different, highly seasonal scenery for visitors to enjoy. After the torrential rains and heavy flooding which affected the northern Kyushu area in 2017, the bathhouses and hot spring inns here opened their doors to all comers for free, an act which resulted in the area being granted a special award in the Onsen Sosenkyo 2017, a project designed to revitalize communities by having people vote for their favorite hot spring locations. The area's mildly alkaline simple springs and simple sulfur springs are said to enhance the beauty of the skin and aid in the removal of dead skin layers, gaining this district the nickname the Double Skin Beautifying Hot Spring.

筑後川沿いの小さな温泉街です。日帰り入浴をやっている旅館もあります。食事の店があまりないのですが、車なら国道386号線も210号線もすぐなので国道に出れば店や道の駅があります。天気がよければ筑後川や遠くの山を見ながらの入浴を楽しめます。
立ち寄り入浴できる旅館もあります

朝倉市にある、原鶴温泉。たくさんのホテルや旅館が並んでいます。やぐるま荘に立ち寄り入浴しました。豊富な湯量で、源泉かけ流しでした。とろみのある美肌の湯。近くに筑後川温泉もあります。
