Maizuru Hot Spring

The hot spring water was absolutely amazing! It's located along Route 3, so it's especially convenient for when you're tired from driving and can quickly put on a bath and get in. The hot water is lukewarm, so you can stay in for a long time (recommended for people who can't stand long periods in hot water at Shio Onsen ♨️), (not recommended for people who need hot water). Furthermore, The water temperature is perfect for people who don't like cold water; this temperature control is rare in Kagoshima Prefecture. So, I especially recommend it for people who have passed on cold water until now. The water temperature at Maizuru Onsen is about the same as the Ramune bath at the Ramune Onsenkan in Nagayu, Oita Prefecture. The price was 250 yen. Is it relatively cheap for a bath in Kagoshima Prefecture? It's also recommended for people who want to chat with locals. I highly recommend interacting with locals!

It appears to be a sento whose main customers are local livestock and dairy farmers. Although it is said to evoke a Showa-era atmosphere, it feels less like the warm, affectionate glow of a sunset and more like an indifferent, cold, and rule-free Showa. You must get used to the fact that the owner attends to you while smoking a cigarette at the counter. Towels, shampoo, and soap are not available for rent, so bringing your own is essential. The water quality is decent, with a slight sulfur tint.

A retro Showa-era hot spring 400 yen No amenities Parking available I was a little worried about whether it was open, but there was a sign saying it was open. There were plenty of washrooms and showers. The water was smooth, the temperature was just right, and it felt great. No lockers required. Hair dryer: 50 yen (five 10-yen coins). It was morning, so there was no one there and we had the bath to ourselves.

As I've mentioned before, this is a hot spring with a retro Showa-era feel 😁 You have to bring your own toiletries 😅 There's also a restaurant next door. It's a hidden gem 😁 I always order champon when I stop by 😁 It's cheap and delicious. Champon is 650 yen and very filling. A set meal is only around 800 yen 😁😁 You should definitely try it at least once 😁 Definitely 😄😄

The facilities are more like a regular public bath than a spa. There is no open-air bath. Shampoo and conditioner are not provided. Be careful, as there are no locks on the lockers in the changing rooms. The water quality is a simple salt spring? Alkaline? So it seems to be good for the skin. The fee is 300 yen. It has a retro public bath atmosphere!
