Located north of Mount Aso, this charming riverside retreat has carefully preserved a timeless aesthetic free from massive concrete resorts and neon signs. Visitors can stroll the intimate, lantern-lit streets in yukata and wooden geta, exploring a variety of mineral-rich outdoor baths with the town's convenient wooden rotembero pass. Lush forested surroundings, bubbling river streams, and exceptionally warm hospitality make it a quintessential hot spring getaway. It stands as an essential destination for anyone seeking restorative nature and classic Japanese relaxation.
