About this ryokan

♨️Every Room Its Own Cottage, Every Bath Facing the Forests of Aso

Kumamoto, Minamiaso · Tawarayama Onsen Ryokan Chikurakutei

Standalone Cottages, Private Open-Air Baths

🏡Every room is a separate cottage scattered through the forest — a fully private stay with no neighbors to worry about.
♨️Each cottage has its own open-air bath, so you can soak whenever you like, on your own schedule.
🌿Set beside the forests and gardens of Minamiaso, the layout is built for time that passes quietly and entirely your own.

A Gentle Alkaline Simple Spring

💧An alkaline simple spring, mild and soft to the touch — gentle enough on skin to earn the name 'beauty bath.'
🛁A spacious indoor communal bath with floor-to-ceiling windows lets you soak alongside the changing seasons outside.
⏰Open 15:30–21:00 and 06:00–09:00, with a short cleaning break in between.

Kaiseki Finished with Aso Akaushi Beef

🥩The signature dish is akaushi, red cattle raised on the grasslands of Aso, prized for its rich, deep umami.
🍽️A carefully composed kaiseki course draws on seasonal ingredients from Kumamoto and Aso.
🚪Meals are served in a fully private dining room, so you can relax without a thought for other guests.

Garden and Lounge, Connected to the Forest

🪵The lobby greets you calmly, with seasonal decor and bamboo lighting.
🛍️A corner of the lobby offers Aso souvenirs and sweets to browse and buy.
🌳Garden and rest areas link the buildings, ideal for a stroll during your stay.

Scenery Held in the Forests of Aso

🌲A wooden deck and lounge surrounded by dense trees offer a place to rest and take in the green forest.
🦆Birds pass between garden and forest in a quiet setting where nature itself is the backdrop.
🍁From spring greenery to autumn color, the seasons of the Aso caldera unfold up close.

A Base for Aso's Outdoor Activities

🪂A great base for activities like paragliding and hot-air ballooning that take in Aso's vast nature.
🏺The location also puts pottery, horseback riding, and stargazing within easy reach.
🌌Spend the day out in nature, then close it in your private open-air bath under the stars.

Close to Kumamoto Airport

🚗About 35 minutes by car from Kumamoto Airport, or a 20-minute walk from Aso-Choyo Station.
🚉A free pre-booked pickup service is available from Choyo Station or the Kinokoyu Onsen entrance for those arriving by public transport.
🔌Two EV chargers in the parking lot make things easy for electric-vehicle guests.

With every room its own detached cottage and its own private open-air bath, Chikurakutei is a ryokan made for time entirely your own, deep in the forests of Aso. Gentle spring water, a kaiseki course starring Aso akaushi beef, and outdoor activities amid vast nature — an ideal place to fill a special day with someone who matters.
