Kijō Onsen

Miyazaki · 木城温泉

Kijō Onsen is a hot spring town in Miyazaki, Japan. The water leaves the ground at 29.4°C, cool enough that the baths here are usually reheated. Officially the water is classed as simple spring.

Simple spring

The water here

Simple spring 単純温泉

Mild and low in dissolved minerals. Usually clear and gentle on the skin, which is why these baths are often recommended for first-timers.

With tattoos

Many public baths still turn away visible tattoos, and the rule is set by each bath, not by the town. The reliable way round it is to bathe privately: a room with its own open-air bath, or an inn with a private bath you can book for yourselves.
