The only onsen inn in Kanoya boasting a groundwater cold plunge bath and two types of sauna

Kagoshima Kanoya City

Hotel Taihei Onsen is the only lodging in Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture with a natural hot spring. Day-use bathing is available and the facility is beloved by locals. The large public bath features a variety of pools including a walking pool and a jacuzzi. There are two types of sauna: a dry far-infrared sauna heated by a far-infrared gas heater and a mist sauna that periodically showers mist. After the sauna, guests can cool down in a spacious cold plunge bath fed by a lion-shaped spout pouring abundant groundwater. The water is soft and even drinkable, offering a pleasant cool-down experience.
