Insider tip — 'Ono Onsen Center' in Ashikita-cho, in the forested interior of southern Kumamoto where ancient cedar forests cover the steep river valleys feeding the Yatsushiro Sea. Ashikita's inland areas preserve some of the most pristine secondary forest in Kumamoto. The Ono (大野 — great field) area's thermal waters represent the quieter, community-focused side of Ashikita, away from the coastal tourist sites.
