硫黄谷温泉 霧島ホテル
(いおうたにおんせん きりしまホテル)
Uses natural hot spring water
363. Kirishima Hotel, Kirishima, Kagoshima Visited for higaeri for 600 yen with a towel. Higaeri listed as 11:00 to 17:00, but on Wednesdays the main large mixed bath — the whole point of this place — is unavailable. They stamp the 88 Onsen of Kyushu book. Unfortunately I came on a Wednesday and could only access the small separate men's section. In the small indoor zone, breathing is comfortable. One bath with clear water, temperature around 41. Second bath with clear water, temperature around 44.5. A barrel with cloudy white water with a slight proper onsen sulfur smell, temperature around 42. There's no point in going just to the small zone. I plan to visit again on a non-Wednesday, possibly with an overnight stay.
