Hitoyoshi Onsen, Hitoyoshi, Kumamoto
Hitoyoshi Onsen Motoyu
A compact indoor public bath with no confirmed outdoor bath, sauna or family bath. The city pages do not publish a current facility-specific spring analysis, and older descriptions disagree about how the water is handled; call ahead for the day's hours and fee.
Check before bathing
- Opening hours
- Current Japanese facility listings give 07:00–12:00 and 14:00–22:00, with admission around ¥300. The bath does not have a frequently updated official price page, so confirm both details by phone before visiting.

How to read a bath profile
Spring-source temperature and actual bathing temperature are kept separate. Each score is shown independently for comparison rather than collapsed into one overall score.
