The tranquility of Sulfur Valley, a magnificent healing space with a large garden bath 25m in depth, black pork shamo hot pot and shochu, and a stroll through the hundred-year cedar garden.
Experience an extraordinary sense of scale. The grand garden bath, with a depth of 25 meters, features an impressive flow of water, boasting a total daily output of 14 million liters. Sourced from 14 springs across four types, all Onsen baths are fed directly from the source, offering an unparalleled abundance of hot spring water. For dining, indulge in Kagoshima specialties such as Kurobuta Shamo hot pot and Wagyu steak paired perfectly with local shochu. Take a stroll through the "Hundred-Year Cedar Garden," lined with 30,000 cedar trees for a journey back in time. At night, the garden is illuminated to create an even more magical atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the exceptional experience of Kirishima's Onsen paradise for a truly unforgettable escape from everyday life.
A pool?Seriously surprised—didn’t expect an Onsen Accommodation like this!The meals are kaiseki, brought out course by course, though the timing felt a little off.Still, the food is elaborate and excellent.The century-old cedar is amazing—beautifully maintained. It might be the first time I’ve ever thought a cedar tree was truly beautiful.
