Yakushi Onsen

"Yakushi Onsen" is a public bath located in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture. With over 100 years of history since its opening in 1919, it underwent a major renovation in April 2023, transforming into a bathing facility that blends tradition with modernity. The chloride spring water is provided naturally without heating or adding water, offering a silky and smooth bathing sensation that warms the body to the core. The men's sauna features an automatic löyly, while the women's sauna uses a wo-ryu method, and both are complemented by a cold plunge bath with natural underground water, allowing for a perfect state of relaxation. You can enjoy a relaxing time after bathing at the on-site BANDAI COFFEE. It is a community-focused hot spring facility, open year-round from 6 AM to 11 PM, just a 15-minute walk from Kagoshima Chuo Station.
