Hitoyoshi travel guide
Hitoyoshi is a castle town once prosperous as a river port, and boasts the ruins of the
Hitoyoshi castle and Hitoyoshi Onsen.
The Hitoyoshi Onsen is the collective name for 30-add hot springs including Sagara
Onsen, all of which are supplied with hot water from sources around Hitoyoshi Station
and in the basin of Kuma-gawa River.
The most exiting thing in Hitoyoshi is Kumasawa-kudari that is riding on a boat maneuvered
by a master polar down the Kuma-gawa River, one of the three fast streams in Japan.
