Activities

Majestic scenery, crystal-clear spring water flowing abundantly, and rich hot springs. Life in Aso has always flourished alongside the blessings of the volcano. Enjoy a special moment to experience the story of this great earth through touch, taste, and sight.

■ What is "ABCs of Onsen Culture"?
At KAI, a leading brand of hot spring ryocans across Japan, we offer "Onsen Culture Iroha"—a special program designed to help guests go beyond simply soaking in the water and truly immerse themselves in the unique regional hot spring cultures.

Riding on the warm back of a horse, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the five peaks of Mount Aso and the Kuju mountain range, refreshing your body and soul. Experience the joy of riding a horse in the midst of spectacular scenery.

This activity uses Oguni-sugi cedar, Kyushu's best wood which grows in Oguni Town at the foot of Mt. Aso. It's a simple process to shave the wood until it's smooth, but you can also feel the cedar's softness and warmth. It's a great thing to do if you have to remain in your hotel room.

If you're staying for two nights, it's a waste to simply spend all your time in the room. We offer a set including a lunch bento box and local amenity goods perfect for a cozy stay-in, to help you make your personal time even more fulfilling.
