The Kuroiso area retains vibrant nature in Kuroiso Park and Nakagawa Riverside Park, while young people are opening shops one after another, especially around Kuroiso Station, creating an area with its own unique landscape and atmosphere. This Onsen & Gastronomy Walking Tour will allow you to learn about Kuroiso’s past and experience its present by visiting the Kuroiso Local History Museum, which tells the history of Kuroiso, the Kuroiso Station VIP Room, which is not usually open to the public, and Kuroiso Street, lined with stylish shops and buildings. You can also enjoy the beautiful autumn foliage and views of the Nasu mountain range at Kuroiso Park and Nakagawa Riverside Park. Furthermore, with the cooperation of Bridgestone Nasu Factory, which has greatly contributed to the development of Kuroiso, we will open the factory’s exhibition room so you can see products that are manufactured only there and are used on a global scale.
