Day 3: Kumamoto

✦ Kurokawa Onsen ♨️

Kurokawa Onsen resembles an onsen village, with dozens of onsen ryokan clusters spread along the stream. The most special thing here is the "soup tour" culture. As long as you have a soup tour hand shape, you can go to different inns to experience a variety of hot springs. You can go and find surprises in person✨

🔖 Soup patrol hand shape

In fact, it is the concept of a hot spring ryokan admission pass, after arriving in Kurokawa Onsen, go to the hot spring ryokan association "Wind House" and purchase the soup patrol hand shape (1500 yen), and the hand shape has the following two uses to choose from:

1. Onsen experience at three lodges
2. Hot spring experience at two inns + a souvenir

When you purchase the Soup Patrol hand shape, you will be given a map listing information about the cooperating inns + stores, including:

**✨Hot Spring Features**: Forest open-air hot spring, streamside hot spring

**✨ Spring quality and efficacy**: beauty effect, soothing muscle soreness, improve skin problems

**✨Souvenir types**: Local specialties, handicrafts, etc

🌟High-end hot spring inns are going to be very attractive, but several are in the mountains, walking distance is relatively far; and, although some inns look more plain, may not attract everyone at first glance, but may be unexpectedly "chartered", you can measure ~ (*`ώ)

📍Location: Onsen Inn Association "Wind House"

🚗Transportation: "Kyushu Cross-section Bus"

🚏 Route: Kumamoto Station/Sakuracho Bus Terminal ➡️ Kurokawa Onsen Bus Station (about 3 hours)

🎫 Tickets: official website reservation / bus package launched by ota (sometimes will include hand shape, it will be more cost-effective ~)

🌟Kurogawa Onsen is quite far from downtown Kumamoto, nearly 3 hours one way and 6 hours round trip. If you don't want to waste time and want to play more places, you can arrange Kurokawa Hot Spring on the last day of your trip to Kumamoto, and then go to Oita on the way✨ If you are going back and forth on the same day, in addition to choosing the type of hot spring you are interested in, remember to pay attention to the hot spring opening hours, then calculate the time, be careful not to miss the return bus >
