[Japan🇯🇵] Kumamoto Yatsushiro Hinagu Onsen

#Spring0yentrip I visited Hinagu Onsen in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture, and experienced a wonderful trip where history and nature are in harmony. I stayed at Hamazen Ryokan in Hinagu Onsen ♨️✨ All rooms are equipped with a semi-open-air bath, and I was able to enjoy the soft hot spring water many times. Dinner was a luxurious banquet meal with spiny lobster and black wagyu beef, and it was very filling. The staff were polite and it was a comfortable stay. It is a wonderful inn that I would like to visit again.    Yude Shrine is a shrine located in Hinagu Town, Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and is loved by locals as the guardian deity of Hinagu Onsen. It is a mysterious space surrounded by a quiet bamboo forest, and at night the lanterns and lights create a fantastic atmosphere. After climbing the stairs, I could see the night view of Yatsushiro, and I felt like my heart was cleansed. The shrine is said to grant blessings such as good health, freedom from illness, and prayers for safety in relation to hot springs and hot spring therapy, and many locals visit the shrine on New Year's Day or during festivals. It is a recommended place to visit as a healing power spot in combination with a hot spring trip. The last place we visited was Hotarubashi, a beautiful bridge that blends into nature, and its combination with the surrounding scenery was a soothing place. Through this trip, we rediscovered the charm of Yatsushiro and it became a wonderful memory that will stay with us forever.
