About this place

A day-visit hot spring by the river, a little way down from the Kurokawa onsen town. Besides the open-air baths for men and for women, there are two private baths you can use with family or friends. The private baths are taken by reservation, 50 minutes at a time. The water is free-flowing, straight from the source.

What you can do here

  • Book a private bath for 50 minutes
  • Soak in the riverside open-air bath
  • Rest in the lounge after your bath

From the staff

The private baths are 50 minutes at a time. If you have small children with you, or tattoos, you can use a private bath just as you are. For the open-air baths, please cover tattoos with a sticker before going in.

Why this place supports social causes

Every year we go out to help with the spring field burning that protects the Aso grasslands. With farmers nearby, we also look after the woods around the open-air bath, clearing the undergrowth in spring and autumn.

From the place

Because we are a bath that looks after the Aso grasslands and the woods around our water together with the people who live here.
Opens its space to the communityOur staff go out every year to help with the spring field burning that protects the Aso grasslands.

What they care about

  • Free-flowing from the source

    We do not reheat the water or add any water to it; it simply flows through.

  • Private baths by reservation

    So that you can go straight in without waiting, we take bookings 50 minutes at a time.

  • Caring for the woods

    In spring and autumn we clear the undergrowth in the woods you can see from the open-air bath.
