I visited for the first time after reading magazines and reviews! ️The appearance and atmosphere of the location was very good.However, when I entered the indoor bath, there was a sign asking people with heart disease or high blood pressure to refrain from bathing.I fell into both categories myself😥There is a risk of hydrogen sulfide accidents, so please take a bath for less than 30 minutes 🙇, but I was worried about the time and couldn't take my time 😅It seems to be effective against skin diseases, etc., so if you don't have a major heart disease, you might enjoy it⁉️

I saw Shinmoesou's emerald green hot springs in a hot springs magazine someday and wanted to visit it once, and my wish came true.There are some places along the road that are so narrow that you might be worried about what would happen if an oncoming car came, but once you pass that point, you'll see a red roof. There isn't much parking, so if a lot of day-trippers come to the hot springs, it might be a problem.I couldn't take pictures of the bathtub because photography was prohibited, but it was better than I imagined. Some of the baths are mixed, so women should be careful. The concentration is so thick that you can even see hot springs, giving the impression that it is similar to Kusatsu Onsen. The smell of sulfur was faint, but I was very impressed.You can stay overnight here, so I'd like to stay overnight next time.

THE sulfur spring. There are other places where you can bathe in sulfur springs, but Shinmoesou is one of the best.You won't be able to stay long if you stop by to take a bath, but it's definitely worth a visit.

A national lodging house at the foot of Mt. Kirishima. You can also enjoy hot springs on a day trip.A slightly bluish, cloudy sulfur spring.There are many hot springs in the area, but this one seems to be particularly rich in sulfur.Strong smell and appearance.The hot water is white and cloudy, but depending on the lighting, it takes on a bluish tinge, which is interesting.When you enter, your body will gradually become warm. You will want to stay in the bath for a long time, but there is a warning not to take a long bath.By the way, there is also a mixed bath. Women can borrow bath towels and use them.I would like to use it for a stay next time.***I used it for a new stay.It has been renovated and is very clean throughout.The rooms were equipped with air conditioning and were comfortable to spend time in.The rice was rich in variety, each dish was carefully crafted, and was very delicious.The cold steamed egg custard for dinner, rainbow trout sashimi, pork stew in tomato, pudding for dessert, and miso soup for breakfast were impressive.The dishes are also well thought out, and together with the presentation, they are pleasing to the eye.If you stay overnight, you can also use the indoor bath.Two rooms have bathtubs that look like hollowed out logs, and two have regular bathtubs.Available for private use. It's all flowing.The quality of the hot water is of course high, as is the quality of the food, and considering all the amenities, 15,550 yen per night is way too cheap.

The quality of the hot springs is outstanding.The customer service is also polite and wonderful. It is a famous hot spring that you should definitely visit and experience for yourself rather than hearing people talk about it.

I visited a few years ago, but I couldn't take a bath because it was temporarily closed, so I went back. It is a hydrogen sulfide type simple sulfur spring, and there are time limits for bathing. At first I thought it was just a shallow restriction on crowding, but it turned out to be a time restriction to prevent hydrogen sulfide poisoning. I see, it makes sense. The quality of the hot springs is so good that it makes you want to take a long bath, but due to the time limit and the heat of the water, we were able to enjoy the highest quality hot springs for a reasonable amount of time.

As for the hot springs, the quality of the spring water is cloudy and good, but since the windows are left open there are a lot of ``flies''...and if you let your guard down, you'll get bitten.I was bitten in three places in the blink of an eye, and even now, a month later, the scars remain and are still itchy.It would be nice if there was a screen door or other measures, but the bath can be dangerous in winter, so please be careful.I will never go again.

There's a smell of sulfur.The rock surface from the source is pale yellow.The water is light blue with lots of white flowers dancing in it✨I get stiff with hot water✨Separate indoor baths for men and women and mixed outdoor baths.The appropriate age enhances the hot spring atmosphere.Girls are welcome to wrap themselves in rental bath towels, so be sure to try the open-air bath ✨It's okay because it's a deep bath.P.S. This area is offline.It's safer to just check the direction of your next destination.

At the foot of Mt. Shinmoedake, active activity continues. It's in an inconvenient location, requiring a car, but the hot water is excellent. Top class I've ever experienced. I used it for a day trip.Enjoy the retro atmosphere of this open-air bath in the countryside from the Showa era.

Thank you for taking care of me at a day trip hot spring. It is a rich milky white hot spring. You can experience the power of Kagoshima's hot springs. The secluded atmosphere is also nice. I have visited over 600 hot springs, and I can confidently recommend this famous and secret hot spring.

I used it for a day trip.The hot springs are filled with the scent of sulfur and are one of my favorite hot springs.The men's and women's indoor baths are a little hot and will irritate your skin.The open-air bath is a mixed-gender bath, but I rarely see women there, and it's always filled with men.However, the access from the indoor bath to the open-air bath is completely visible from all around, so I think it would be easier for both men and women to use it if this access was separated.As usual, when I go to the open-air bath without covering my face, women usually catch a glimpse of me. Well, it doesn't matter.Lastly, you can't see your feet at all in the open-air bath, so don't panic and take your steps slowly, checking the condition of the bottom.

The mixed open-air bath that appears in hot spring magazines is famous, but I personally liked that the indoor bath had the feel of a spa. The temperature was adjusted to a comfortable temperature, but the water is so rich that you can't take a long bath.

I went to a day trip hot spring for two days in a row. It's been a while since I took a bath, but it was really good. The scent of sulfur and a large amount of yunohana♨️The first day was a Sunday, so there were a lot of people, but we took turns washing our bodies before entering (there was only room for two people).The second day was a weekday and there weren't many people so I was able to get in easily. There was a Russian person living in Japan who didn't seem to know how to enter, so I talked to him and taught him how to wash himself first. After that, a Japanese person of about 35 years old came in, and I felt embarrassed, thinking that even a foreigner would do the same thing.Photography is prohibited in the hot spring itself (the open-air bathing area is a mixed bathing area and should be done for crime prevention!!), so I will only post a photo of the exterior.Please feel the magnificent hot springs of Kirishima with your own eyes and skin.Price: 600 yen, Closed on Tuesdays (Due to natural free-flowing water, there is regular construction work on pipes and pumps, so there may be consecutive holidays other than Tuesdays)Also, when moving to the open air, we recommend you bring a towel as you will have to cross the path that men and women pass through.On the way home after soaking in the hot springs, the faint scent of sulfur springs emanating from my body is irresistible😆

Kirishima's sulfur springs often leave you feeling tired and exhausted after soaking in them.This hot spring felt like my body was being woken up!It's a fairly deep bathtub. The mixed open-air bath is also very nice.

The milky white emerald green hot spring containing sulfur content is the best hot spring that pleases both the eyes and the body ♨️💕😊 #Kirishima Shinmoesou is a highly recommended hot spring. Photography is not allowed in the bathtub, but I borrowed the image of the bathtub from the website because I wanted you to see the colors. The steam gushing out from the ground is also spectacular.Azalea 🌺? full bloom. There are a lot of good hot springs in this area ♨️ I also went to the somewhat rare #Japanese hot springs along the river ♨️. Check it out~ Visited on April 27, 2024

2024/2/28. Used for day trip hot springs. Hydrogen sulfide type simple sulfur spring with hypotonic, weakly acidic and high temperature spring. The source temperature is 60.5 degrees. Business hours: 8:00-18:00. Adults 600 yen. There is only one indoor bath and one outdoor bath. Body soap and shampoo provided. The quality of the hot springs was excellent, with the hot springs full of flowers and the smell of hydrogen sulfide. It is recommended that you stay in the indoor bath for no more than 30 minutes, and for the open-air bath no more than 15 minutes. In fact, the hot springs are so hot and so effective that you don't need to stay in them for that long. If you enter consecutively, you will have to wait at least an hour (in that case, there will be a separate charge). The water is cloudy and you can't see the bottom, so be careful of the steps.

I stopped by to take a bath, but it's a mountain hut. There's only a small changing room, and the water is pure white and smells of sulfur.

I used it on my way back from mountain climbing.It was a milky white sulfur spring like Tsuru no Yu in Akita.There is no shower and only water comes out of the faucet, so you will have to scoop out the indoor bath to wash your body.It's a very nice hot spring with a nice atmosphere.
