Hinatayama Onsen Hana-no-Yu
日当山温泉 花の湯
A large day-bathing facility at Hinatayama Onsen in Hayato, Kirishima City, also handy from Kagoshima Airport. The spring is a sodium-bicarbonate type (hypotonic, weakly alkaline, hot) at pH 7.8 and 56.4°C at the source, loved as 'beauty water for beautiful men and women' for its smooth feel. Cypress baths, a jacuzzi and a foot bath sit indoors, with an open-air bath and rock-plate bath alongside, and the spacious cold plunge after the sauna is a favorite.
