Classification

Sodium-Calcium-Magnesium Bicarbonate spring

A bicarbonate spring led by sodium, calcium and magnesium — neutral pH, hypotonic, moderately mineralized. The wellhead carries a tangible carbonated taste with a faint astringent edge, hinting at the spring's freshness. A generous 201.5 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves the kind of silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother, placing it in the Japanese 'beauty-water' family.

Grandfather's Onsen with two cats at the reception. Tajima Honkan 田島本館 Besides the onsen, it's also a cafe during the day and an izakaya at night. There are two cats who serve as kanban neko (shop mascots). The place itself has a very cozy atmosphere, and the coffee with sweets was good. The onsen water is pleasant, but somehow there wasn't much to catch the eye. It felt like they just dug an onsen in a shed. It is part of Kyushu 88. From this year, it is no longer included in Kirishima Yutabi.

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.
