Tsurunoyu Kumamoto Inter (closed; reopening as Kame-no-Yu)
The former Tsurunoyu bath closed on August 31, 2026 and the site is being renovated. It is not available for bathing from September 1 through October 31. A new facility, Kame-no-Yu by HATAGO INN, is scheduled to open on November 1, 2026; recheck its actual operation after opening rather than relying on the former bath's details.
