Miyanojo Onsen, Satsuma, Kagoshima Prefecture
Ryokan Tamano-yu Family Spa
For visitors who put source data, undiluted source flow and a fully private bath first. It is a different proposition from the area's low-cost communal baths.
Check before bathing
- Opening hours
- The family baths accept guests from 10:00 to 20:00. Each 60-minute session costs ¥1,800. Three room styles are available: Take, Sakura and Anzu.
- Tattoo policy
- The inn and town pages reviewed do not confirm a tattoo policy for the private baths. Do not assume privacy means tattoos are allowed; ask when booking.

- Water handling
- The inn says the baths use 100% source water without adding water, and that the spring flows continuously. The family baths are also source-flowing; local tourism information says the water is changed after each use. Current main pages do not publish a complete disinfection table, so no other treatment is inferred.
Bathing indications
No specific medical effect is claimed here.
The inn confirms 100% source flow without water addition; family baths are changed after each session according to local tourism information. Disinfection conditions are not fully published.
Private family baths are confirmed for day use. Satsuma Town and the tourism association also list general admission around ¥300, but the town's day-use field specifically confirms family baths; check whether the regular public bath is available to non-guests before travelling. Tattoo rules are unconfirmed.
