Kirishima Hotel's pride and joy, the Iwodani Garden Large Bath, is luxuriously flowing with 14 million liters of hot spring water that gushes out of 14 springs every day. It is said that this amounts to 50 drums per minute. The spring quality is "Iwodani Onsen," which is a mixture of sulfur, alum, saline, and iron springs, and is only available here at Kirishima Hotel. You can experience the true essence of a hot spring in terms of both quantity and quality.
The facility is divided into three zones: a free zone, men only, and women only. The free zone has eight types of baths. Sulfur springs are in the large bath, red pine bath, longevity bath and reclining bath, iron springs in the golden bath, and alum springs in the cypress bath and alum bath, so you can choose the effects you want to enjoy. The large bath with cascading water is just over 25m deep. With a depth of 1.4m, you can enjoy a standing bath that promotes blood circulation throughout the body while giving you a feeling of floating. There are also times reserved for women only in the free zone.
The women's zone has an open-air bath called "Akiko no Yu" named after the poet Yosano Akiko. You can also enjoy "Oryo no Yu" named after the wife of Sakamoto Ryoma.
The "Whitening Bath" sulfur spring in the women-only zone is popular along with the "Child-Treasure Bath" salt spring.
