Onsen and Traditional Baths
Kagoshima Prefecture offers a range of geothermal experiences, from the world-famous steam sand baths of Ibusuki to the tidal springs of Yakushima. This selection includes Hirauchi Kaichu Onsen, which is only accessible during low tide, and the rustic Nemachi Onsen on the volcanic island of Kuchinoerabu-jima. These sites feature diverse mineral compositions and unique settings, including seaside pools and modern facilities like the Onsen Dome.
