If You Are Into Hot Springs,

here is a new one in Japan that has just opened,


 Kur Park Nagayu, Oita in Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost main island, is often hailed as the “onsen prefecture” of the country, the new hot spring park was designed by Shigeru Ban, 

 with hot springs, lodging and a restaurant, they combine soaking eating and sleeping all in one,

 having opened on June 2, 2019, Kur Park Nagayu borrows from the German word kur, meaning cure or treatment, the site was designed by renown architect Shigeru Ban, who used his signature style of wood and recycled cardboard tubes to create a series of spaces that consist of hot springs, a restaurant and accommodations, above, changing rooms are available before proceeding into the main 2 baths,

 the main bath is split between 2 levels, offering both traditional hot springs where you bath naked, but also a more foreigner-friendly hot spring you can enter with a bathing suit, beyond that is 50-meter (164 ft) long walkable hot spring that is perfect for rehabilitation and treating injuries, above the 50-meter walkable hot spring runs along the Seri River,

 the restaurant,


individual huts offer accommodations for visitors wishing to prolong their stay, the cottages and an on-site restaurant offering local fare means you can relax and take in everything Kur Park Nagayu has to offer, I am relaxing now just thinking about a stay there!
