Said to be Kagoshima's richest bicarbonate spring and a deep groundwater cold plunge bath
Kagoshima Kanoya City
Yutaka Onsen is a day-use hot spring facility in Kanoya, Kagoshima that is popular with local residents. The large public baths include a Japanese-style Kannoniwa Bath and a Western-style Roman Bath, with the sexes alternating weekly. The sauna is a spacious far-infrared type set up for steady, comfortable sweating without strain. After the sauna you can cool down refreshingly in a deep cold plunge bath fed by abundant groundwater with ample overflow. The hot spring is a rich bicarbonate spring (sodium bicarbonate spring) gushing from 1,388m underground, notable for its slightly viscous, silky feel on the skin.
