Aoki Hot Spring

The facility is clean, and the hot water has changed a bit and feels good. Since it is a hydrogen carbonate spring, it is slightly alkaline and has a slightly slimy texture. It does contain sulfur, but when you hold the hot water next to your nose, you can only smell a slight scent. I felt like I could feel the sulfur more after I got out of the bath. The water is slightly yellowish. There is also an open-air bath. There were vegetables and other items for sale near the front desk. I think access is difficult unless you have your own car. It feels like it's in the middle of a field. By public transportation, take the Nishitetsu bus number 15 bound for Okawabashi from JR Kurume, get off at the Aoki school entrance, and walk for about 10 minutes. It is one of the 88 hot springs in Kyushu.

It's not a super public bath, but a proper hot spring. The bathing fee was 600 yen, the shoe box return was 10 yen, and the changing room locker was 10 yen. The scale is not large. There are indoor baths (warm water, hot water, and cold water), open-air baths (warm water), and a dry sauna. There is a washing area for 11 chairs. The hot springs are hydrogen carbonate springs (hypotonic alkaline high temperature water), and are also called ``hot springs for beautiful skin and beauty'', and are pale yellow-green in color and slippery. I didn't feel any smoothness on my skin, but it did feel moisturized the next day. I like to first warm up my body with hot water, then slowly soak in lukewarm water. The smell didn't bother me. I guess it's almost odorless? The floor is slippery so be careful. There are also non-slip towels on the floor. The saunas are individually prepared with a pull-down mechanism that eliminates the need to change towels, and you enter with the tiles provided. There are about 10 chairs at the entrance, and there is also a tatami room that serves as a rest area and dining area. Menu is limited depending on the time of day. For the first time in a while, I was able to enjoy a hot spring without having to go to a famous hot spring spot. #Added restaurant information (images).

The 27th hot spring in Kyushu's 88 hot springs tour is a sulfur-containing sodium chloride/hydrogen carbonate hot spring in the rural area of Kurume... However, the quality of the hot spring has changed slightly, and it probably includes a mall. I visited around 3pm on Monday, and there were about 8 people there. From 10:00 to 10:00 p.m., you pay 10 yen (returnable) for the shoe locker and 600 yen at the vending machine.You will be given a ticket at the reception desk, but you will not be able to keep the key to the shoe locker. Bathroom lockers cost 10 yen (no return). Cooled water and individual seats for the sauna are placed between the bathrooms. From the front, there is a cold bath, hot water (about 42 degrees?), warm water, and lukewarm water in the open air. The scent doesn't have much sulfur content, it has a strong plant-like aroma unique to malls, and there is no chlorine smell. What I particularly liked was that the open air was designed to have good ventilation, and I was surrounded by the scent of rice ears that is unique to October. There are also three rest chairs available. Also, the cold bath and hot water bath are next to each other, so it's perfect for taking alternate baths after exercise! There are about 12 easy-to-use showers, and there are two types: body shampoo and rinse-in shampoo. I felt silky smooth after taking a bath, and for some reason I feel like Moor Izumi gives me a boost of energy. The floor isn't that slippery, probably because there isn't much alkaline content. There is a rice restaurant, but the food that can be served seems to be limited depending on the time of day. There are chair-type and tatami-type rest areas, so even people with disabilities should feel safe. It would be better if there were handrails in the bathroom as well. By the way, if you are going by bus, the entrance is a little difficult to find, so please refer to the last photo or use the map.

Aoki Onsen had nice hot water. Place your shoes in a 10 yen return type shoe box, purchase a ticket from the ticket vending machine, and enter. The man at the reception desk also has friendly customer service. The hot water has a slightly yellow-green color and is a continuous type. There is no particular smell. The hot water is smooth and warms you up well. The bath facilities are not old and are clean. The sauna is a dry sauna and can accommodate 5 to 6 people. There is a button on the wall of the water bath, and when you press it, a certain amount of water is added. I felt good after repeating the slightly hot indoor bath, the moderate temperature outdoor bath, and the outside air bath several times. Rinse-in and body soap are available. The quality of the rinse-in is average. The soap doesn't lather well. There are individual lockers that do not return 10 yen. Have a 10 yen coin ready. It may have been a coincidence that I went there in the afternoon on a weekday, but everyone was taking a perfect "silent bath." Public baths can feel good or bad depending on the timing. I didn't eat there this time, but it looked like I could get some snacks in the rest area. The menu also seemed quite extensive. I think I'll try repeating it again.

It's fairly spacious, with small, clean sauna mats, and many people have good manners after wiping off their sweat before going up. The water bath is also cold and not small. For 600 yen, the smooth natural hot springs are well worth it. The Old Sauna is rated higher than the crammed saunas in Fukuoka City that cost close to 1,000 yen.

It's been a while since I last visited you. The quality of the spring water is very good with sodium. Price is ¥600 for adults. The shoe box will set you back 10 yen. The 10 yen from the changing room will not be returned. Formerly the entrance to Aoki Onsen♨️ On the contrary After renewal This is the first visit. The bathtub is also new. Both the indoor and outdoor baths are not large. You can enjoy the water flowing directly from the source. On the day I visited, the temperature of the open-air bath was low. The temperature of the hot spring feels high from the spout of the indoor bath. You can enjoy it. The sauna is not large either. A type that uses a sauna mat There is a sense of cleanliness.
