Kurokawa Onsen & Aso tour

 The Kurokawa Onsen and Mount Aso tour is a truly memorable day out taking you to two great Kyushu locations; Kurokawa Onsen – one of Japan’s most charming hot spring villages, specialising in outdoor baths

& Mount Aso – Japan’s most beautiful  caldera,  where if conditions are right, you can peer right into the heart of the living, breathing Nakadake volcano.

Kurokawa Onsen & Mount Aso Tour information
The other people on the tour were lovely and it was a brilliant day. The area is stunning and I saw way more than I would ever have done under my own power. I had wanted go to go Kurokawa onsen but as I was staying in Kumamoto, it was a mission to get there. Taking the tour with Helen meant that not only did I see a great onsen town and have a good soak, but I saw lots of other places along the way that would have passed me by completely.

Why take a tour?

Both Kurokawa Onsen and Mount Aso are on many people’s list of places to visit in Kyushu but getting to them by public transport is time consuming and getting around in the Aso area without a car is very limiting.

If you are interested in trying a Japanese onsen but are not comfortable with the idea of sharing a bath this tour is ideal. 

We visit Kurokawa Onsen in the morning which is the quietest time of day, so it is often possible to get a public bath all to yourself and there also is the option to rent a private bath for an hour. 

Your guide will be happy to explain onsen etiquette to you and help you find the perfect bath.
