Wakita Onsen since the Genroku era, now a hotel spa open to day visitors
Hana-no-Yu sits in Wakita Onsen, a spring district said to date back to the Genroku era, in the hills of Miyawaka, Fukuoka, along the Inunaki River. It forms part of the Route Inn Grantia Fukuoka Miyawaka hotel. The water is an alkaline simple spring from 1,000 m down, run free-flowing. Day visitors are welcome even without a room, and it is open year-round from 10:00 to 23:00. It is about 8 km and 15 minutes by car from Wakamiya IC on the Kyushu Expressway, which makes it an easy stop on a drive from Fukuoka or Kitakyushu.
A free-flowing indoor bath and three open-air baths
The indoor bath runs free-flowing, with a view out of the window while you soak. There are three open-air baths: a roofed one you can use in rain, a cave bath on the men's side and jar baths on the women's side. The jar baths overflow at the rim, a luxury only possible with abundant free-flowing water. The sauna has a television, and the bedrock bath costs ¥500. Afterwards you can cool down in the lounge or rest in the free room with vending machines and massage chairs.
How to spend a day visit, and what it costs
Day bathing is ¥800 for adults on weekdays and ¥100 more on weekends and holidays. Children pay ¥500 up to elementary age and ¥300 from age 3 to pre-elementary, with under-2s free. The bedrock bath is ¥500 with ondol and robe and can be added after entry. Bring a towel or use the ¥100 rental bath towel or ¥150 towel for sale; note that loungewear is not included in admission.
