Yutorelo Yamaga

 If you're looking for a place accessible by car from Kumamoto Castle, I highly recommend Yutorelo Yamaga in Yamaga Onsen. While Kurokawa Onsen is also fantastic, Yamaga Onsen is famous for its "Bijin-no-Yu," known as "beauty-enhancing water." The water has a unique, silky-smooth, almost viscous texture that feels amazing on the skin. The ryokan itself is a beautifully renovated older building, blending traditional charm with a very chic, modern design. It’s the perfect place to treat yourself and feel "a touch of luxury." Depending on when you go, they sometimes offer day-trip plans that include lunch. You can easily enjoy this experience well within your 20,000 yen budget. Plus, it's very accessible—less than an hour's drive from Kumamoto Castle.

"Yutoriro Yamaga" is a recommended inn that offers a day trip plan with lunch included! For lunch, you can enjoy a delicious Japanese meal that includes pork loin teppanyaki. One drink is also included. The hot spring is rare nationwide, and you can enjoy smooth alkaline water that contains natural radon. You can relax in the open-air bath or large bath.

The inn is located independent guest cottages from the airport and in a quiet area. If you come by car, you can enjoy a leisurely drive, and there were no noisy children inside the building, so I was able to spend my time there very calmly. Moreover, the hot springs penetrate the skin like a beauty serum, so I think women will be very happy.

Guest rooms with open-air baths with a view are available. The baths in the guest rooms are not hot springs, but they are recommended as a place for couples to enjoy a bath together. The hot springs can be enjoyed at your leisure in the large public bath with an open-air bath. For meals, you can enjoy kaiseki kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）made with local Kumamoto ingredients.
