About Aso Health Volcano Onsen / Great Nature Aso Health Forest
Aso Health Volcano Onsen, located within Great Nature Aso Health Forest, is an onsen in Minamiaso Village, Kumamoto Prefecture. It boasts an impressive 1,000 tsubo (about 3,306 m²) of space for each of the men’s and women’s baths. In the open-air area, a 150 m wooden walkway winds through the grounds, letting you take in the surrounding natural beauty with your whole body. The onsen offers a range of saunas, including a dry sauna where you can sweat at leisure as if taking a forest bath, and a steam sauna surrounded by negative ions. After cooling down in the cold plunge, the mineral-rich natural onsen, fed straight from the source and never recirculated, gently eases away physical and mental fatigue. The grounds also include a warm-stone room called Kenko Onnetsugama Jusan-shu, with 13 types of natural materials. It is a blissful wellness retreat where you can refresh yourself all day long.
