A premium drinkable cold plunge bath abundantly fed by Kirishima natural fissure water
Miyazaki Takaharu Town
Oujibaru Onsen Health Village, located in Takaharu, the legendary landing place of the Tenson Korin myth, is a retro day-use hot spring facility surrounded by rich nature. The dry sauna, which carries a faint scent of the hot spring minerals, uses a far-infrared heater and abundant humidity to produce a waterfall of sweat. What stands out in particular is the cold plunge bath. It is continuously fed from the foothills of Mt. Kirishima by the natural fissure water called Kirishima Rekkashui, so you can enjoy an exquisitely cold, crisp feel on the skin. This natural water is also drinkable. Together with the direct-flowing iron-rich bicarbonate spring, the facility offers an outstanding, almost hidden-gem level sauna experience.
TypeNatural Hot Spring
A yellow-brown bicarbonate spring rich in iron (iron-rich bicarbonate spring). All baths are supplied as direct-flowing source water with no recirculation, and the spring is reputed to be highly effective for fatigue recovery and health promotion. There is no outdoor bath, but large windows let in light, and comfortable spaces spread out such as the edge of a reclining bath where you can open the window and rest while feeling the Kirishima breeze.
