📅2024-MayThe last hot spring we visited when heading north to Kumamoto in May was this hot spring in Yamaga City.Although it was Kyushu Onsen Road 88, it was actually my first visit to the hot springs💦Yamaga Onsen and Hirayama Onsen are hot spring resorts that are highly rated among hot springs in Kyushu by hot spring connoisseurs.I also felt the refreshing bathing sensation and the good spring water again this time 😊The bathroom is bright, with rainbow-like walls and a clean bathtub.No photography allowed in the bathroom🈲🍀 Simple alkaline hot spring (hypotonic/alkaline/low temperature spring)

I came here to visit the 88 hot springs. It's a luxurious treat. It's lukewarm, so it feels good when it's hot! Although the building is old, the hot spring space is clean.

Facilities covered by the 88 hot springs tourI stopped by and visited the hot springs.The reception/front desk is on the 2nd floor and costs ¥300 for adults, and the parking lot has about 5 spaces on the first floor of the building.Shampoos provided, no hair dryer, no lockers, changing basket availableOnly 1 indoor bath with free-flowing water, 3 showersSince it's a business hotel, the bathtub isn't that big and there's no view from the windows, but for ¥300 you can soak in the hot springs that come with shampoos.The temperature is lukewarm, so you can soak in it slowly.

I only took a bath today. As expected from Yamaga ❗️ The amount of hot water here is large and pours out ❗️ It felt good!! ️✨I feel that the bathtub is a little small. I think it will be comfortable for about 2-3 people. It was 300 yen for a day bath~✨Summer is the best✨It's lukewarm~

It is located far away from places like Yachiyoza. It's just a few minutes walk from Yamaga Bus Center.It is one of the 88 hot springs in Kyushu, so I visited it in the afternoon. It's really a business hotel bathhouse, but I was surprised when I stepped inside. Even when you are in the changing room, you can hear the overflowing flow of hot water. The rich amount of hot water that flows through the water is luxurious, and the feeling is quite slippery. Even in the summer, you can soak in the water at a comfortable temperature. I would choose Sakurayu for the atmosphere, but I thought this would be better if it was just hot water.Isn't it a hidden gem? The bathing fee was 300 yen. The owner was friendly and made me feel very welcome.

To Shin Aoyamaso in Yamaga, one of the 88 hot springs in KyushuThere is a parking lot downstairs, but it's small, so let's do some research.I went on a day trip, but it seems to be from 13:00 to 17:00, so be careful.No coin lockers and hair dryersLeave it with the clerkShampoo conditioner availableThe hot water is alkaline springHirayama Onsen and Ueki Onsen are alkaline sulfur springs, so please understand that they are different.Now, about this hot spring, I completely missed it until now! ? The hot water is too good at that level.The pH is around 9.6, but I feel that the sliminess of the water is higher than the numerical value.Is this perhaps the No. 1 alkaline spring in Kumamoto?The feeling of the hot water clinging to you is amazingIt is also a good idea to keep the water warm and not too hot.I never thought there would be a famous hot spring in a place like this.All those who want to be beautiful gather here.That's how good the hot water isI will visit this again

Kyushu Onsen Road ♨️ Bathing fee 300 yen, free 🅿️ availableI stopped by a business hotel and used it as a hot spring bath.Customer service on the phone and in person is friendly and welcoming. The bathhouse is not very large, but the flowing hot water will be impressive.This is one of the hot springs I would like to visit again.
