    Kurokawa Onsen: There are seven types of hot springs in Kumamoto Prefecture's Kurokawa Onsen. You can soak in most of the open-air hot springs by purchasing a "hot spring hand-shaped holder". A trip to Kurokawa Onsen will allow the hot springs to completely heal your body and mind. Kurokawa Onsen was selected as Japan's national health hot spring resort in 1964. The season when the "Temperature Festival" that lights up the entire hot spring street is especially worth recommending. During this period, the streets are decorated with cute spherical and cylindrical lanterns, blending in with the natural landscape.

    Beautiful coloring at Kumanoza Shrine ⛩️ There are many long stairs, but it is worth walking up to see them. There is a large parking lot diagonally opposite the shrine, which is very convenient.

    The water source of Shirakawa River is highly transparent and of good quality. For hundreds of years, the clear spring water has provided the main drinking water and irrigation water for the residents of Higo Plains. The spring water comes from mountain streams and creeks, and converges into a spring. Standing by the spring, you can clearly see the surging bubbles. It is said that the accumulation volume is as high as 60 tons per minute, and the water quality is excellent. The "SESERA" hydrogen water guide claims to be the freshest spring water directly extracted from the Shirakawa River source, and refined into healthy water after multiple processing procedures.
