A 6-night, 7-day hot spring trip to Kurokawa Onsen that others would say is crazy ♨️ Oyado Noshiyu ♨️

📌 Kurokawa Onsen Oyado Noshiyu 📌 6591-1 Manganji, Minamioguni, Aso District, Kumamoto 869-2402 Japan Oyado Noshiyu was discovered when I first visited Kurokawa. I really found it when I was passing by, but the garden was so pretty and unlike other hot springs, the interior was not visible, so I remember wandering around a lot. After that, I wanted to go again so much. Kurokawa Onsen, which I visited without knowing anything, is a bundle of charm💖 I was captivated by the Japanese-style brazier in the room, so I made a reservation! At the time, the reservation was not easy, so I had a hard time, but the moment I saw it... It was really sooooo pretty. Totally eco-friendly! Best of the Best! If you don't know where to go, definitely go to Oyado Noshiyu... The hot springs are so beautiful. You won't regret the money. The room is spacious, warm, the staff is friendly, the open-air bath is really good, and it's a place I can't complain about. There is a separate footbath and a brazier in the room, and although it may vary depending on the room, our room was very spacious and nice~! I think 4 people could stay together. Just looking at the picture is healing, right?! ☺️ It is a room that is healing just by looking at it... It can't be not...! Oh, and on the way to the public bath, I also had fun eating eggs. Delicious eggs every day. 😁 And as you can see in the picture, there are almost no people in the public bath. Most tourists stay for half a day and then go back, so I can have my own public bath that is completely healing! Most people don't stay at Kurokawa Onsen for 7 nights like I do. Maybe everyone will say I'm crazy... The first time, I took my husband and stayed for 7 nights, and the second time, I took my brother's wife and stayed for 7 nights. Now, it feels like a very friendly neighborhood. If someone asks me, "Would you go again?", I would say, "If you have the time and money, YES!" Absolutely! 👏 I'm going to share what I felt while staying in Kurokawa Town for a long time! If you have time, definitely visit for a long time. I really recommend it. I want to take all my close friends. 😳 1. Most tourists come by bus at 10 in the morning, take a tour around the town, go to a few public baths, and leave at around 4 in the morning. ☝️ This way, you can't enjoy the beautiful open-air bath! My husband and my brother-in-law also said that the first 3 days were extremely boring and dull. But as time passed, I really felt like I had "really rested"! It's really healing itself! We always went to the public bath early in the morning and late at night to avoid tourists, and I usually had the large public bath to myself. Even when there were people, there were only 1 or 2 people. The scenery was really so beautiful. Some days, I was alone in the snowy hot spring... I couldn't forget that feeling, so I started going to the hot spring every year. However, I still haven't seen a place that is in harmony with nature like Kurokawa Onsen. 2. Kurokawa Onsen is deep in the mountains and far from the city, so the same kaiseki is served every day. 😭 I felt like the food supply was not good. This part was really hard, because the three hot springs I stayed at were not 5-star... The kaiseki was the same every day, so it was really bad. At first, I was like, "Wow~" and ate it... but on the third day, I didn't want to eat it. So if you're going to stay for a long time, you have to change accommodations three times, two days each. We had such a generous breakfast and dinner that we didn't really have to eat lunch. We were full. So it was like hot spring > breakfast > reading a book > coffee (free machine) > sleep > meal > hot spring... It was repeated every day. If you don't like this kind of leisure, you should never go! 3. Whether you visit twice or three times, you visit different hot springs, so each hot spring feels different and it feels like you've visited a different hot spring. That's why going to hot springs was fun. I thought I'd go to other hot springs since I have a hot spring pass, but I didn't...! In particular, Oyado Noshiyu is so natural and has so many pretty spots that you don't necessarily have to go. That's why I try to visit different hot springs every time I visit. Kurokawa Onsen is almost never a failure. Most of the hot springs are beautiful. 4. The shops close early. The shops close so early that if you want to eat or buy something, you have to go early in the morning to buy it. My brother and sister-in-law brought ramen and ate it for lunch. That's enough. 5. It costs almost nothing other than the hot spring accommodation fee. People say Kurokawa Onsen is super expensive.. ㅋㅋ The cost other than airfare + taxi fare + accommodation fee is almost 0. There's no time to spend money around here. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's why I read books, slept with my husband, took walks, and went to the hot springs during my stay. If you do this, you won't have to pay extra even if you stay for 4 nights and 5 days. 6. The town is small, but it still has everything. Bakeries, curry shops, gift shops, sake shops, supermarkets, etc. So it's fun to look at. You can buy all the gifts. The village is in the mountains, so it might be a bit expensive. I don't buy much, so I don't know the price. If someone says they haven't been to a hot spring and it's their first time, I definitely recommend "Kurokawa Onsen." It's a choice you won't regret. Enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. If you're traveling with a lively person, Kurokawa Onsen is not suitable. Kurokawa Onsen is, in a word, 💖 a trip where you can really do nothing but quietly heal while reading a book in nature. 💖 People without children, people who like to read books, people who like quiet places. You should definitely visit!!!! I really want to go again! #Hot spring trip #Kurokawa Onsen #Kurokawa Onsen Village #Oyado No Shiyu #Japanese hot spring trip #Hot spring village #Hot spring recommendation
