A Valley in the Mountains

⛰️Deep in the hills of Minamioguni, on the outer slopes of Aso

Getting There

🚗About 25 minutes by car from the last stop of the Tsuetate bus out of Hita Station
🏔️Located in Kurokawa Onsen, Minamioguni, Aso District, Kumamoto
🌲A mountain setting where a rental car or shuttle beats public transit

With its pale green water and the sound of the stream running past, Kurokawaso captures everything Kurokawa Onsen is about. Between the open-air baths and the seasonal cooking, it's a good place to spend a quiet day.
