#TravelItinerary 🌿♨️ "Kurokawa Onsen: A Town You'll Never Want to Leave Once You Enter"
Kurokawa Onsen is a small hot spring town nestled deep in the Kyushu mountains near Aso, Kumamoto. The sight of traditional Japanese ryokans lining the streets is enough to make you feel like you've stepped into a movie.
Kurokawa's greatest charm lies in its open-air bath tour (入湯手形, Yutotegata). With a wooden pass, you can choose from three open-air baths, each with a completely different atmosphere, set against the backdrop of mountains, rivers, and forests. Soaking in the warm waters and feeling the mountain breeze is truly healing.
In winter, experience the romance of a truly Japanese onsen, warming your body and cooling your head in a snow-covered open-air bath. In summer, enjoy the cool air of a lush green open-air bath. Each season offers a different charm. Add a kaiseki dinner at a ryokan to complete your day.
📍 Location & Tips
Kurokawa is somewhat inconvenient to access by public transportation, so rental cars or bus tours are best. The town itself is small, easily walkable, and offers a quiet retreat, making it a great place to relax and unwind. We recommend staying at least one night rather than a day trip.
✨ "If you're looking for true relaxation during your trip to Japan, Kurokawa Onsen is the answer."
