About half of hot spring sources in Kumamoto gather in Aso. Among other hot springs in Aso, Aso Uchinomaki Onsen is the largest in scale. Surrounded by outer rim mountains, here you can feel the grandness of the nature.
The hot spring of Aso Uchinomaki contains a small amount of lithium, which can be effective for relaxation and makes this hot spring stand out from other hot springs in Japan. Enjoying the hot spring in the rural scenery of Aso will further multiply the relaxing effect.
There are about 20 hot spring inns scattered around the wide area, including the ones open to non-staying visitors. Amazingly, each of 6 local hot spring here has its own spring source. Each of the hot springs has its own unique spring quality and all of them are non-recycled. They are perfect for those who want to enjoy bathing slowly while fully enjoying the nature.
The hot spring town has recently been trying to promote itself, especially among foreign tourists, by providing ample multi-lingual services such as the website featuring movies and photos in which you can check the 360 degrees view of some commercial facilities around the town.
