Aoshima and Kodomo-no-Kuni, Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture

Jizoan Private Onsen

Best for two people or a family who want a quiet, fully private soak and a notably alkaline-feeling spring. For an inexpensive multi-bath tour, a public-bath facility is a better fit.

Check before bathing

Opening hours
The private bath is booked for one group for 60 minutes, from ¥3,500 for two people; each additional adult is ¥1,000. Reservations open two days ahead. The Aoshima Onsen pass gives ¥550 off per person and tea with a snack after bathing; it does not include free admission.
Access
About an eight-minute walk from Kodomo-no-Kuni Station; eight free parking spaces are listed.

Spring & water temperature

Natural spring emerging on the grounds of Jizoan.

Water handling
The inn says the private baths use natural water from its grounds and are completely drained and refilled daily. It does not publish pool-specific water addition, heating, circulation or disinfection details; daily replacement is not treated as proof of source-flowing supply.

Bathing indications

Aoshima Onsen and the inn list general bathing uses including cuts, sensitivity to cold and peripheral circulation issues. These are travel references, not a treatment guarantee.

How to read a bath profile
