The second picture above shows the red-themed Akakuchiba room, invoking images of the russet, reddish-brown leaves of late autumn trees. As you can see, maples feature prominently in the room design. The project, which first 奄美市 マッサージ started 30 years ago, is just one way in which Kurokawa has made itself known across Japan. Now, many consider it one of the country’s premier hot spring destinations, where many exciting events are held every year.
Ryukyu indigo was put into water and fermented, and cotton, basho, silk, etc. were dyed to make twill weaves and morning clothes.

Located in Kumamoto Prefecture , Kurokawa Onsen is a small hot spring town where the spirit of old Japan thrives. It features about 30 charming hot spring hotels surrounded by nature and mountains, many of them found alongside the clear Tanoharu River. It’s not exactly easy to get there, and for years, these secluded hot springs weren’t very well known. But now, thanks to the development of the surrounding mountain forests and a wooden 1,300-yen bathhouse ticket accepted at most Kurokawa hotels, guests can easily enjoy a dip in any three hot spring baths in the area. Being in Yufuin, the hot spring water is alkaline, which is very good for the skin. The first picture above shows the Twin Room with Open-Air Bath - Annex , which features a jacuzzi bath offering beautiful views of Mt. Yufu.
In addition to herbal bath salts using o), we are also working on “brown rice herb cairo” and “eye pillow” wrapped in indigo cloth, and we are more and more attracted to the possibilities and charms of indigo. Let me introduce you to the historical Amami indigo dyeing culture, its charm, and future initiatives while looking back on the history of the past. This is a collection of flowers whose Japanese names begin with the letter "sa". Even if the name doesn't start with "sa", it includes the flowers whose alias starts with "sa".
Do you want to explore Japan, but are concerned about contact with other travelers? If so, we recommend heading for the less-frequented island of Kyushu! We've put together a list of Kyushu’s must-see highlights together with nearby luxury accommodations, so that you can enjoy a visit in safety and style. Furthermore, in order to grow indigo by ourselves, we rented land for cultivation and created a field starting from mowing.
This Ryukyu indigo is a special indigo that grows only in a limited hot area, unlike the Tadeai and Indian indigo that are often used for general indigo dyeing. Due to its low fertility and the inability to produce seeds, it can only be increased by cuttings. Even in Okinawa, production has been declining in recent years, and its rarity is increasing. Since ancient times, indigo dyeing has been performed in Amami using indigo that grows naturally in the mountains. They are “weak alkaline simple hot springs” that are generally suitable for anyone. Every cottage is different, so guests can choose one that best suits them.
Kurokawa Onsen Gosyo Gekkoujyu is a vast 13,000 m² forest complex housing only eight guest cottages, each of which offers beautiful views of the night sky above this little hot spring town. The hotel was built with the goal of allowing guests to gaze upon the moon in the middle of the forest, losing track of time to fully experience the splendor of nature. The second kanji in the name “Ikkoten” (一壷天) means “pot” or “vase” and refers to a passage from the Book of the Later Han about finding pleasures from another world inside such a container.
Located in the southeast of the island, where time seems to have stopped thousands of years ago, the hotel offers panoramic views of Yakushima’s tallest mountain and its vast sea, blending with the natural landscape. Part of Kagoshima Prefecture, Yakushima is a 500 km² island located in the south of Kyushu. It’s famous for its Jomon Sugi cedar tree , which is said to be 7,200 years old. The millennia-old tree is located in the central part of the island, called Okutake, which rises 1,000-1,700 m above sea level and is surrounded by a vast primeval forest of coniferous trees.
In Amami, indigo dyeing seems to have been popular from the end of the Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji era. In Kakeromajima , there is a description that indigo leaves are harvested around August of the lunar calendar, soaked in water for about 2 days, pulled up, and then mixed with baked coral to make dye. At one point, Rika witnesses a pile of “medicinal herbs called weeds” that are piled up by mowing several times a year. From that time on, I took over the fact that I couldn’t stand being thrown away as it was, and I began to enjoy using it for herbal teas and bath herbs. Gradually, I began to wonder if I could create something that made me feel more like an island. Until then, Rika had worked for a music-related company in Tokyo for many years.
On clear nights, you can also witness the awe-inspiring star-studded sky stretching out above you. The above picture shows the Superior Twin Room with Open-Air Bath.

Inside the hotel, you will find nothing but pure Japanese bliss and elegance. The first picture above shows the Moegi, a Japanese-style maisonette, while the second picture shows the Shinshu room. Each cottage is different, sure to satisfy any and all tastes.
