Yamaga Onsen Sakura-yu

山鹿温泉さくら湯

4.3Est. 90¥Yamaga, Kyushu
Local Pick

Overview

A grand Edo-era public bathhouse faithfully rebuilt, one of Japan's most beautiful communal baths at just 300 yen.

Sakura-yu was originally built in 1640 and recently reconstructed using original techniques, creating one of Japan's most architecturally stunning public baths. The high-ceilinged wooden interior, stone bathtubs, and serene atmosphere recall a bygone era. At just 300 yen, it's one of the best-value onsen experiences in Kyushu.

Local tips

Visit during Yamaga Lantern Festival (August 15-16). Thousands of paper lanterns illuminate the town and women dance wearing lantern headdresses.
