Minamioguni

Built around mountain hot springs, Minamioguni grew into a rural town in northern Kumamoto Prefecture, on Kyushu. Its best-known district, Kurokawa Onsen, is a long-established hot-spring resort set among wooded slopes near the Kuju Mountains. Traditional inns and open-air baths remain central to local life, and the town is known for its onsen-hopping culture: a wooden bathing pass gives guests access to several participating baths. Minamioguni also lies close to the volcanic landscapes of Aso-Kuju National Park, where the seasons bring fresh green, mist, and winter snow to the uplands.
