About Minamiaso Kugino Onsen Shikinomori
"Minamiaso Kugino Onsen Shikinomori" is a hot spring accommodation facility in Minamiaso Village, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture. It boasts an outstanding location with a panoramic view of the Aso Five Peaks, and you can enjoy that spectacular scenery from every guest room as well. The weakly alkaline natural hot spring is known as a bijin no yu, with a smooth, soft feel that makes it pleasant to soak in for a long time. The sauna is compact, yet its convection-style stone stove delivers powerful heat, and the moderately humid settings encourage efficient perspiration. Its greatest attraction is the cold plunge bath filled generously with Aso's famous spring water. Without a chiller, it maintains a consistently cold temperature year-round, and the superb skin feel unique to natural water makes for an ideal cool-down experience.
