Kurokawa Onsen is a hot spring town in Japan. It's in the middle of Kyushu, about 20 kilometers north of Mount Aso. The town has charming streets lined with traditional inns, small bathhouses, cute shops, and cafes. There's even a small shrine and charming bridges that lead right to the Ryokan inns over the river. Walking through the town is a lot of fun, especially in the simple yukata robes and wooden sandals that your ryokan gives you. But there's more! Kurokawa is famous for its outdoor baths and traditional inns, perfect for relaxing in warm, healing waters while surrounded by beautiful nature. That's why many people like to go "onsen hopping" in Kurokawa. You can try different hot springs using a special pass that lets you visit lots of baths, including foot baths, private open-air baths, and even a cave bath. You can easily get to Kurokawa Onsen by taking a highway bus from Aso Station or Hakata Station, so it's perfect for a day trip or an overnight stay. It's the perfect getaway from busy city life, offering a refreshing hot spring retreat.
