Yamaga Onsen - Spa and Accommodation

Yamaga is a short distance away from Kumamoto, yet it sustained very little damage in the Kumamoto Earthquakes. Famous for its natural hot springs, Yamaga is the perfect place to escape to if you want a relaxing weekend away. As well as public spas, there are a host of 'Spa Resorts' where you can stay overnight and use the facilities as you wish.

We stayed at the Hirayama Onsen Taichi last year and had a wonderfully relaxing time. It's not a cheap excursion but worth every penny - our little chalet-style house had two private onsens (one indoors, one outdoors) and we made use of the public onsen too - all in all I took about 8 baths in a 12 hour period!
