Kumamoto Minamiaso Village
A scenic hot spring overlooking a waterfall in Minamiaso
"Tarutama Onsen Taki Biyori" is a renowned hot spring in the mountains of Minamiaso Village, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture, reborn as a day-use facility from a historic hot spring area. Its defining feature is the cold plunge bath filled with natural spring water that gushes from the bedrock on the premises. Pure enough to be drinkable, it has a mellow feel on the skin, gently yet thoroughly cooling the body after sauna use. The sauna room has a compact layout, so the heat from self löyly is felt directly, making for a pleasant, sweat-inducing experience. Soaking in the outdoor air bath while gazing at the waterfall just ahead and taking in the negative ions all over your body is an exquisite experience that lets you become one with the nature of Aso.
An open-air bath with a spectacular view, set right in front of a waterfall that falls before your eyes. The simple spring water, with its shimmering mineral blooms, is gentle on the skin and slowly warms you to the core. Listening to the murmuring stream and the sound of the waterfall, you can savor a blissful bathing experience in this hidden-gem setting of Minamiaso.
A compact dry sauna. Self löyly is available, and by generating steam with Aso's natural water, the room can be filled at once with pleasant heat. This is a luxurious, private-feeling space where you can quietly face yourself while looking out at the greenery through the window.
