It's located a short distance from National Route 220. The final stretch of road leading to the facility is narrow, only wide enough for about one car, so caution is needed. There's a fairly spacious parking area in front of the building. The fee is 450 yen. Most of the customers seemed to be locals. It was a little crowded, perhaps because it was evening. The bathroom has nine washing areas, standing shower booths, two bathtubs, a sauna, and a cold plunge pool. Shampoo and other toiletries are not provided. There are two bathtubs: one lukewarm and one hot. The lukewarm bath is quite large, big enough for 5-6 people. The water is yellowish-brown and not very clear. It feels like a chloride-based bath. Although called lukewarm, the temperature felt like around 41-42 degrees Celsius. The hot bath is a bit hotter, feeling like around 42-43 degrees Celsius. It's big enough for 3-4 adults. Other than the temperature, it's almost the same as the lukewarm bath. Overall, it was a very warming bath.

A hidden hot spring beloved by locals. I went back for the first time in about a quarter century. It's very old, but it's well-maintained and clean. It has a retro feel. The brown water is apparently effective against skin diseases. The strong water feels like it penetrates deep into the skin.♨️ They have hot and lukewarm water, but even the lukewarm one feels quite hot. It's great for people who like it hot.🙆 The facilities are quite compact, but meet the basic needs. Best of all, the price is reasonable, which is great. They don't provide shampoo or other items, so bring your own. There's also a sauna, so you can use it to style yourself. There aren't many styling chairs. You can see into the men's bath from the parking lot if you want to. Don't let your guard down, lol

Late July 2022 For some reason, perhaps due to the long rainy season, mites have appeared in my house... They've bitten me in soft places and it's so itchy! That's when I go to... Abiru Onsen Sakamoto (Sakamoto Onsen) That's it. Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. It definitely has a Showa-era feel. They welcome you with mood music in the background. The hot springs are closed on Sundays. Luckily, I had Saturday off, so I went to enjoy the hot springs. Bath time. ¥410 Yes! The itching is gone. Seriously. The water here is really good (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) Previous post Probably 2018. Showa era! The water is coffee-milk colored. It doesn't feel like a place to relax for a long time. It's good if you want to take a quick bath and move on. The water is good though.

After hiking Mt. Chubei, Mt. Mitake, Mt. Kosengaredake, and Mt. Osengaredake (Mt. Takakuma), I searched for a hot spring ♨️ and chose this one from the results. The bathing fee is 450 yen. Please bring your own amenities. There's a sauna, two bathtubs, and an electric bath. I decided to try the electric bath for relaxation after hiking, and the locals seemed to enjoy it. However, perhaps the electricity was strong or my flea heart was weak, but I was gone in a short time (in seconds). Kagoshima residents are scary, like Rambo! The parking space 🅿️ seemed deep and spacious, and there was a blast of enka music from the parking lot to the lobby! It's been a while since I've heard enka. Maybe music is better than silence.

It's the second day in Kyushu. Traveling from Cape Sata, I arrived at a long-established hot spring that's been in business for about 60 years. It uses a gas far-infrared sauna, which somehow makes me sweat faster than usual. Thanks to it, I was able to get into shape after three sets of six minutes. The cold water bath is a free-flowing bath at about 18°C. It doesn't smell of chlorine and is soft, so maybe it's natural water? I highly recommend it. It seems to be a beloved facility among locals, and while I was in the sauna, an elderly person gave me lots of recommendations for nearby places. I was so lucky. Thank you. #HakubaSaunaClub
