A luxurious stay surrounded by forests at 700 m above sea level, with two free-flowing spring sources

Kagoshima Kirishima City

"Ryokojin Sanso" is a long-established inn in Kirishima Onsen, located in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Set on a hill at an elevation of 700 m and surrounded by vast natural forest, it boasts an excellent location with views of Sakurajima and Kagoshima Bay. It has two private spring sources: a naturally bubbling simple spring discovered in the second year of the Bunsei era, and a sulfur spring with the fragrance of hot-spring minerals. In the indoor bath of the large public bath, you can enjoy the simple spring, while the open-air bath uses the sulfur spring, both with free-flowing water directly from the source. In the private open-air baths scattered throughout the forest, you can spend a quiet moment and may even encounter wild deer.
