A superb cold plunge bath with Kirishima Rekkasui and a famous free-flowing spring bath
Miyazaki Miyakonojo City
“Gokujo no Yu Yamada Onsen” is a hot spring facility in Miyakonojo, Miyazaki Prefecture, newly renovated in 2023. Its sodium bicarbonate spring, gushing up from 1,700 m underground, is known as a “beauty bath” that leaves the skin smooth, and it is generously served as free-flowing natural spring water. Its biggest draw is the two cold plunge baths filled lavishly with Kirishima Rekkasui, Miyakonojo’s famous mineral water. Installed in both the indoor and outdoor bathing areas, they offer a cooling experience that combines crispness and softness unique to famous water. Along with the new and clean sauna, this is a place where you can feel the rich blessings of Kirishima with your whole body.
TypeNatural Hot Spring
A sodium bicarbonate spring gushing up from 1,700 m underground. Rich in bicarbonate, it has long been cherished as a “beauty bath” that removes dead skin cells and leaves the skin silky smooth. While heated and disinfected, the bath is still offered as free-flowing natural spring water. With its rich, silky feel, it gently cares for your skin before and after sauna use and warms you from the core of your body.
Sauna TypeDry Sauna
Stove TypeInfrared Heater
Capacity10people
A dry sauna full of the warmth of wood. Stable heat fills the room, allowing you to work up a sweat at a comfortable pace while surrounded by the soothing scent of wood. The bright, clean interior is easy for beginners to enter, and the tiered benches let you choose your preferred level of heat. It is the kind of refreshing sauna time that only the new equipment after renovation can offer.

Capacity8people
A spacious cold plunge bath located in the outdoor bathing area, filled with Kirishima Rekkasui, Miyakonojo’s famous water. Pumped from deep underground, this pristine natural water contains extremely few impurities and is distinguished by its remarkably smooth texture. In the open air, the pleasant chill of this famous water creates a truly special experience. Its large size, which can accommodate many people at once, is also appealing, letting you savor a luxurious moment of immersing your whole body in famed water.
Water QualityNatural Water (Groundwater, Spring, etc.)

A cold plunge bath set indoors, using 100% Kirishima Rekkasui. The easy flow from the sauna lets you cool down your heated body immediately with this famous water.
