Aso, Kumamoto, Japan · Independent · Accessible Luxury



Sozankyo is the historic house of Uchinomaki Onsen on the Aso caldera floor, a garden ryokan with private gardens around its baths. It offers the old Aso manner of hospitality: walls, pines and a bath that guests do not share with a bus tour. The caldera around it is one of the largest in the world, and the ryokan sits quietly in the middle of the grassland.
