Book Hotel Ryokan Ayunosato in Hitoyoshi Onsen (Kumamoto)—— Located in a basin surrounded by the Kyushu Mountains, this ryokan stands next to the Kuma River, one of the three most rapid rivers of Japan. Its luxurious guest rooms are popular, with private open-air onsen baths and a great view of the river and the ruined Hitoyoshi Castle.
