桂温泉

First visit, cost 400 yen per adult. The building and baths are all in good condition. The bathroom also has a high ceiling, giving it an open feel. There are three bathtubs in a row, and the further away from the spout, the warmer the baths become. There is a sauna, cold bath, cascading bath, and a semi-private lukewarm bath. I wonder if this is the "silk bath"? It was a little dim, so I couldn't tell the difference from the water in the main bath. The water, which flows directly from the source, is alkaline, and it really felt like it was soaking into the skin. There was a notice saying that a sauna mat was required to use the sauna, which was a shame. I didn't understand this system, so I didn't try it this time. Looking at reviews later, I saw that mats are available for rental at the reception. The water temperature in the cold bath was appealing, so I'd like to try it next time.

An amazing Onsen with EVERYTHING: Big hot tub that’s divided into three sections: one peaceful tub for maybe 10 women, the second tub have water jets for the back and legs and the third have some water jet only for the back. Other medium tub have a falling water jet perfect for back, neck and shoulders massage, other medium tub with warm water and finally a medium tub with very nice cold water. The sauna is very nice with tv, please bring a mat to seat inside the sauna room. Everything was very clean, please bring your own shampoo, rinse, soap, hair brush, towel and the hair dryer works with coins.

The price is 380 yen for adults, 100 yen for elementary school students, 50 yen for infants, and 330 yen for seniors and people with disabilities. 12 adult tickets cost 4,000 yen, and 8 senior/disabled tickets cost 3,500 yen. There are few types of hot springs, and the baths are small. I personally found the water a little hot. It wasn't too bad, but since it's near a US military base, the roar of fighter jets can be quite loud at times! There aren't even any coin lockers in the changing room, so there are no security measures at all!

It's inexpensive and the hot springs are effective. The lockers are right in front of the entrance, so it's hard to miss for first-time visitors. It's a bit of a pain that, even though it's a hot spring facility, the only way to get water is through a vending machine (for a fee). 😓 Adults: ¥400 Local towel: ¥350 Sticker set: ¥500

I went there around 5:30pm on the weekend. The quality of the hot spring water was very good. The interior was also clean and relaxing. It's a hot spring I'd like to return to if I'm in the area again. The cold bath was a little small, so it was a bit cramped for five older guys.
