泉都乃湯

I've used this hot spring facility many times for day trips. First of all, the interior is incredibly clean; the washing area, changing rooms, and windows are always kept spotless, which is amazing. The hot spring water, transported from Takeo Onsen, feels wonderful and allows me to forget about everyday life and truly relax. The sauna temperature varies depending on the day, but I'd say it's somewhere between 89°C and 92°C. It's quiet but hot, and I sweat a lot. Afterward, I rinse off and head to the cold bath. The cold bath here is incredibly clean, fresh, and feels amazing. The staff are polite, kind, and have wonderful smiles! I always think how happy I would be if my hotel had a hot spring facility like this. I'll continue to visit. Thank you! ✨

First, you buy an admission ticket from a vending machine, but there's no one at the reception desk. I was confused, thinking, "Huh? What should I do? Can I just go in and bathe?" There's just a phone in case of any issues. I wonder what's the point of buying a ticket if no one is going to check. Is the reception desk always empty? I was surprised that it seems like people just go in without buying a ticket. If it's free for hotel guests, I wonder how they can tell them apart from regular customers. The facility itself was clean. The washing area was spacious and easy to use. For 1,200 yen, it's a good price, especially considering towels are included.

Perhaps because it is hot spring water, it feels a bit slippery. It feels somewhat different from the water at Onyang Hot Springs in Korea. It is small, but it is well-equipped with everything you need. There is a sauna and an outdoor bath, but since the outdoor bath shares space with the women's bath, you can hear conversations clearly. There are keypad locks on the shoe lockers; you should clip the key onto your shoe and bring the code with you so you don't lose it. When going to the hot spring bath, please wear a robe and bring a towel. Also, if you bring the toothbrush, toothpaste, and razor provided by the hotel, you will find them very useful.

Stepping through the noren (traditional Japanese curtain), I was surprised to find myself in a space that truly resembled a high-class ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in a tourist area. As expected from a hotel, the staff were all very well-trained, providing polite service with warm smiles and kind hospitality. Families with children are certainly welcome, but it's also perfect for those times when you want to relax and unwind alone in a hot spring. The quality of the spring water is also excellent, as it's transported from Takeo Onsen. Located near Imari Station, the location is superb! I highly recommend you visit at least once.

20250728 I stopped off at this bathhouse on my way to a roadside station in Matsuura, Nagasaki Prefecture, where I'd be staying overnight. It appears to double as a hotel's large public bath, and some people were bathing in yukata. The facility is new and clean. The large public bath includes an open-air bath, an indoor bath, a cold bath, and a sauna. None of the baths feel small or large. The sauna temperature is around 90 degrees. The spring quality isn't particularly special, but the water is soft and the temperature is just right. Overall, it's neither good nor bad.
