Sakurajima Seaside Hotel
桜島シーサイドホテル
A retro hotel on the shore of the Furusato Onsen area on Sakurajima's southeastern coast in Kagoshima City. Its murky sodium-chloride spring (Furusato No. 15 and No. 16 sources, about 46-48°C) runs kake-nagashi and is prized for warming and moisturizing the skin. The mixed-gender open-air bath sits right at the water's edge with wide-open Kinko Bay below - dolphins are sometimes spotted offshore. Separate indoor and outdoor baths for men and women and a family bath are also available.

About this onsen
Sakurajima Seaside Hotel is a retro hotel on the shore of the Furusato Onsen area on Sakurajima's southeastern coast in Kagoshima City. Its water comes from the Furusato No. 15 and No. 16 sources - a sodium-chloride spring (hypotonic, neutral, hot; about 46-48°C) with a faint green tinge, enjoyed kake-nagashi. The warming, moisturizing quality typical of chloride springs is its charm. From the mixed-gender open-air bath at the water's edge you can take in Kinko Bay and the far Kagoshima cityscape, and dolphins swimming offshore are sometimes spotted.
Good to know
Day bathing is 11:30-20:00 (until 15:00 on Saturdays; last entry 30 minutes before closing) for 500 yen for adults and 300 yen for children (age 2 to elementary school). The family bath is 500 yen for 50 minutes plus the bathing fee. Open year-round. The mixed-gender open-air bath sits at the water's edge; guests who prefer can use the separate men's and women's indoor and outdoor baths instead. Parking for 20 cars. The Sakurajima ferry links it to central Kagoshima, making it a perfect closing soak after sightseeing on the island.
