人吉旅館ひとよしりょかん
Uses natural hot spring water
Operated by · 人吉旅館
A sodium-led bicarbonate-chloride spring — the classic jūsō-sen style, with a salty edge layered in. Weakly alkaline and soft on the skin, it sits in the Japanese beauty-water family. The hot source (54.6 °C) is served as untreated free-flow: no dilution, heating, recirculation, or disinfection.

367. Hitoyoshi Ryokan, Kumamoto Visited for higaeri for 1000 yen. Higaeri listed as 08:00 to 20:00. They stamp the 88 Onsen of Kyushu book. They issue Toreco cards for this onsen. The outdoor and indoor onsen areas are separate. There's a display about the anime Natsume's Book of Friends, and apparently some episode is connected to either this town or this ryokan. Outdoor shallow stone bath with clear water. Temperature around 40-41. Indoor zone. Breathing is fine. Two baths with clear water, both with wooden benches. One bath at temperature around 40-41, the second at 43. Photo of the bath from the internet matches. Pleasant place. Especially for fans of the related anime.
