Insider tip — 'Yukamu' (湯かむ) at Sachi no Kuni Kenko Onsenkan (幸の国健康温泉館 — land of happiness health spa) in Yamaga city. 'Sachi no Kuni' (land of happiness/fortune) names Kumamoto Prefecture through the lens of its abundance — rice, hot springs, Aso's volcanic fertility. 'Yukamu' may invoke 'yu' (hot water) and 'kamu' (divine/god), suggesting a divinely ordained spring. This health spa in northern Yamaga serves the communities between the Kikuchi River valley and the Ariake coast.
