Enmei-kan

Kikuka Onsen Enmeikan has reached its old age, but it is an old, well-established hot spring that has been around for a long time and is nostalgic for me, as I am from Kikuka. The other day, I went to a hot spring for the first time in decades. An old lady at the reception (the landlady) welcomes us cheerfully. What surprised me was the bathing fee, which now costs 350 yen😯 (it would be better if it was a little more expensive). The hot springs are really nice 💕 It was a little warm, but my body was warm all the time, and even though I tend to get cold, I was able to sleep soundly. It is also possible to stay overnight. Next time I would like to come with my husband.

It's a hideout! You can even just take a hot spring bath!It feels so good! The windows were fogged up, so I couldn't tell at first, but when I looked closer, I saw that there was also an open-air bath!In fact, you can even have lunch here!Recommended is the fried chicken set meal! 850 yen! !It takes a while for it to be ready, so if you order it and it will come an hour after entering the hot springs, the timing will be perfect! Since I could eat under the kotatsu, I felt like I was back at my grandmother's house!

Kikuka Onsen Enmeikan510-1 Matsuo, Kikuka-cho, Yamaga City, Kumamoto PrefectureDrop-in bath 350 yenThis is a long-established inn in Kikuka Onsen that boasts a history of about 1300 years, and is the oldest established inn in Kikuka Onsen, which has been in business for over 100 years.The bathhouse is a three-story octagonal ``Hakakudo'' built to imitate Marichi Castle.The source temperature is about 50 degrees, and the alkaline simple hot spring leaves your skin feeling silky.✨There is an indoor bath and an open-air bath, so it felt good to be able to take a bath on your own. 😁I definitely recommend it 😊

The bathing fee is 350 yen.There is an indoor bath and an outdoor bath, and the spring quality is slightly alkaline and instantly smooth. It was a good temperature for a long bath. Since it was early in the morning, I was able to bathe on my own.

It's true that the facility is a little older, but it's spacious and clean. In the evening, local people come to take a bath one after another, and we say ``Good evening'' at the changing room. Colorless and transparent thick water. Indoor bath and outdoor bath (indoor bath only on this day). The drop-in bath costs 350 yen and only soap is provided. The fried chicken is a specialty, and I ordered it to go so I could eat it at home without drinking beer. Accommodation is said to start from 7,000 yen including two meals. It's too cheap, what's going on? (February 2023)

This is a hot spring with a retro atmosphere.It cost 350 yen to use the hot spring. There was no open-air bath, probably because it was winter (February). There is one indoor bath. I added it slowly at a temperature that wasn't too hot (^^)

Kikuka Onsen EnmeikanA long-established store in Kikuka Onsen, the characteristic building is the bathroom. The bathing fee is reasonable at 350 yen.Although it is a simple hot spring with one bathtub, it has a smooth feeling and also has a fixed fan.Although the water is colorless and transparent, there is no taste when you put it in your mouth. Each Kikuka Onsen has its ownSince the hot springs have their own source, I think it's quite fun to visit the hot springs.The bathtub was kept clean by constantly overflowing with hot water.

Hot spring melting ♨️Also, I think it's fried half of the local chicken, but it's seriously delicious (￣～￣)～The skin is super crispy and juicy, and the bones are crispy too (￣～￣)～ . Definitely a taste.

Popular around here? I had planned to stop by an inn, but now I have changed my plans to only staying overnight. (It seems you were looking at old information)I immediately researched another hot springs and ended up here.If you call in advance, the host will be very nice and will be happy to help! Although I was traveling alone as a woman, I felt safe! It was my first time in this country and I was worried because of the bad weather lolThe building is quite old, so excuse me, but is it still open? I thought so and hesitated. .Indoor bath and open-air bath available for ¥350! ! First of all, I was surprised by the price!(Maybe this is normal in hot spring areas)Very wallet-friendly!The hot water is Nurutoro, a hot spring for beautiful skin! The nylon towel I used was difficult to squeeze at first (I wonder if it comes with a treatment lol)It's not big, but it's not too small, and although it's showing its age, it's been kept in good condition ^ ^There is also a small veranda, like an open-air bath in the backyard of a Heike family.You can't see the view, but it's nice and quiet.It is safe to bring your own shampoo.One small hair dryer.Will it appeal to everyone? If you ask me. . yeah. . So minus 1 star,Personally, I'm totally satisfied!Anyway, go for the hot springs! I think this is a cost-effective hot spring for people like you! I thoroughly enjoyed being alone in the afternoon on a weekday!Later, some locals came in, and when I greeted them again, they greeted me pleasantly, and I was soothed by their personalities ^ ^I will use it again! !
