Tajima Honkan

362. Tajima Honkan, Kirishima, Kagoshima Visited for higaeri for 300 yen. Higaeri listed as 08:30 to 19:00, but on Mon/Wed/Fri there's cleaning from 11:00 to 13:00. They stamp the 88 Onsen of Kyushu book. The receptionist is a very lively, friendly, and cheerful woman. Several cats hang out at the establishment. Photo of the bath from the internet matches. Inside: a proper old-school bath. Clear blue-white, slightly cloudy water. Temperature around 44. Breathing inside is excellent. Recommended for a visit.
