Soak in hot-spring water drawn directly from the source The special characteristic of the Aso Hotel onsen is that it uses genuine hot-spring water drawn directly from the source, with no other water added, no heating, and no circulation. The outdoor baths atop the Ichibankan offer views of the five peaks of Mount Aso in the daytime and the starry sky at night. Unusual in Kumamoto Prefecture, the Nibankan’s hot-spring water is certified as drinkable. A drink of fresh hot-spring water is said to be good for your health, so by all means try it!
