Enjoy Northern Kirishima's natural cold plunge and an exquisite herb sauna at the roadside station
Miyazaki Kobayashi City
Kobayashi Nojiri no Yu (Kobayashi Onsen Beauty Hot Spring) is a bathing facility attached to the roadside station Yu~paru Nojiri along National Route 268 in Nojiricho, Kobayashi City. The sauna facilities are surprisingly extensive for a roadside station. The far-infrared sauna is richly aromatic and humid thanks to water placed under the slatted floor and fresh rosemary that is replaced daily. The outdoor area also features an authentic log-house sauna made from Miyazaki cedar where guests can perform self-löyly. The cold plunge baths are fed by natural groundwater from the Kirishima mountain range, pouring like a waterfall, and you can also enjoy a cold-water utase. It is a hidden oasis every sauna enthusiast should visit.

A yellow-ochre sodium bicarbonate spring. True to its name, it is a beauty hot spring that leaves the skin feeling smooth after bathing. The indoor baths include medium-temperature and low-temperature tubs, while the outdoor area offers a spacious covered rock bath and a jacuzzi in the men's bath and a walking bath in the women's bath, among a variety of other bathing options.
