Miyazaki Miyakonojo City
Outdoor cool-down with views of the Kirishima range and an exquisite groundwater-fed cold plunge
Laspa Takazaki in Miyakonojo City is a wellness-focused complex on Takazaki known for its star-filled skies. Fully renovated in 2025, it has become an even more attractive facility. After working up a sweat in the spacious far-infrared sauna, head to the flow-through cold plunge bath that lavishly uses groundwater from the foothills of the Kirishima range. The bath is waist-deep with a gentle, smooth water texture that softly envelops a heated body. Lying back in a fully flat reclining chair in the outdoor area while gazing at Mount Takachiho is a truly blissful moment. Alongside the spring-fed Bihada no Yu, you can enjoy an exceptional relaxation time.
Known as Bihada no Yu, this sodium bicarbonate-chloride hot spring is supplied as a free-flowing source to provide fresh water. Bathers report silky skin after soaking. The large public bath area includes a bubble bath, a relaxation bath, and a strongly stimulating electric bath among a variety of tubs.
A roomy far-infrared dry sauna with three-tiered benches that comfortably seat about 15 people. The room is set around 90°C, allowing for a long, steady sweat while watching TV. Sauna mats are provided, and the comfortable, intense heat warms even the feet.

A cold plunge bath that lavishly uses groundwater from the Kirishima foothills. The water depth is deep at 80–110 cm, designed so you can descend stairs and be immersed up to your waist. Large volumes of water pour in from exposed piping, maintaining a pleasant chill of 18°C–19°C even without a chiller. The water is mellow and clear, making it irresistible.
