The Kurokawa Onsen (Hot Spring)in Kumamoto
Prefecture is one of the most popular and famous onsen spots on the island of
Kyushu. It’s located at an altitude of 700 m, where inns are found standing
alongside the River Tanohara, a tributary of River Chikugo. A therapeutic and
relaxing atmosphere can be found here. The popular Kurokawa curio, ‘Nyuto
Tegata(Bathing Pass)’, which is made of branded thin Oguni cedar wood, is an
entrance pass for 3 different open-air hot springs at the inns. The ticket is
valid for 6 months.
