Agannasse Tickets Explained: Sauna, Rock Bath and Longer Stays
Compare Agannasse’s bath, sauna, Free Course and rock-bath tickets, including its Sep–Dec 2026 renovation prices and access rules.
Summary: The two-hour ticket covers the public bath and sauna. Choose the Free Course if you want the included towel set and longer rest areas; the Free Rock Bath Course adds the Korean-style heated rooms. Renovation discounts begin September 28, 2026.
Checked: September 27, 2026
Agannasse has several ticket types, but the decision is simpler than the price board makes it look: are you coming to bathe and use the public sauna, or do you want to spend much of the day there?
| Adult ticket | Weekday | Weekend/holiday | Included use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-hour bath | ¥800 | ¥900 | Public baths and sauna |
| Three-hour bath | ¥1,050 | ¥1,150 | The same bathing access, with more time |
| Free Course | ¥1,450 | ¥1,650 | Longer-stay areas, facility wear and towels |
| Free Rock Bath Course | ¥1,650 | ¥1,950 | Free Course access plus the rock-bath area |
These are the standard listed rates. From September 28 to December 6, 2026, renovation changes the offer: two rest areas are closed, the three-hour ticket is suspended, and the operator has announced ¥300 off the two Free Courses. The two-hour price stays the same. Check the price page for any special-day pricing before you visit.
For the renovation window, the adult prices work out as follows:
| Ticket | Weekday | Weekend/holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Two-hour bath | ¥800 | ¥900 |
| Three-hour bath | Not sold | Not sold |
| Free Course | ¥1,150 | ¥1,350 |
| Free Rock Bath Course | ¥1,350 | ¥1,650 |
The ¥300 reduction does not restore the recliner corner or Oku-zashiki, which remain closed through December 6. Free Course still includes facility wear and towels plus access to the open longer-stay areas. If all you want is the bath and sauna, the two-hour rate is unchanged and remains the simpler choice.
Two hours is enough for the bath and sauna
The basic ticket is a good fit if you want the natural hot-spring baths, outdoor bathing and public sauna, then plan to leave. You do not need a Free Course just to use the sauna. The women’s bath also has a salt sauna; the facility describes its public sauna as a Finnish-style löyly setup.
The basic ticket does not include the rock-bath area, facility wear or towels. If you are visiting from a hotel and want a towel set, include that extra cost when comparing tickets.
Pay more only when you will use the extra space
The Free Course makes sense for a longer stop: bring a book, have a meal, rest in the included areas and return to the bath before leaving. Its practical extras include facility wear and towels, along with access to longer-stay rooms. The rock-bath ticket adds the heated stone rooms and Korean-style jjimjilbang area; those are separate from the public sauna.
During the renovation period, the regular reclining corner and Oku-zashiki are unavailable. That makes the discounted Free Course less useful if you were planning to sleep in a recliner. It can still suit a visit that needs towels, facility wear and other open rest areas, but check the current floor map and ticket details first.
A few rules to know before you go
The facility bars entry for people with tattoos, including temporary or fake tattoos. Children under three and anyone wearing diapers cannot use the public bath; diaper users may use the family bath. The family bath is a separate charge, as is the private barrel sauna. A Free Course ticket does not automatically include either.
The women’s bath has a salt sauna in addition to the shared Finnish-style löyly sauna. The Korean-style heated rooms and stone beds are another product again: those require the Free Rock Bath Course. A private barrel sauna is charged per person on top of the entry ticket:
| Group size | Weekday per person | Weekend per person |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ¥900 | ¥1,000 |
| 2 | ¥800 | ¥900 |
| 3 | ¥700 | ¥800 |
| 4 | ¥600 | ¥700 |
The private barrel sauna is more affordable per person with a group, but it is not a cheap way to use the public sauna. For two adults on a weekday, two-hour entry is ¥800 per person and the barrel sauna is another ¥800 per person.
The two reservable family baths, Hohoemi and Nukomori, have two indoor tubs and a semi-open-air tub. They are barrier-free and refreshed after each use. Hours are 10 am to 9 pm, with last reception at 8 pm. A family-bath session alone does not include public-bath or sauna admission; those require the relevant ticket.
Children under three and anyone still in diapers are excluded from the public bath; diaper users can use the family bath. Children under three also cannot use the relaxation room, rock-bath area or Oku-zashiki. These restrictions can make the private bath the more practical plan for a young family, but they do not waive the separate charge.
Without a car, the direct Kumamoto Electric bus to Kikunan Onsen-mae takes about 40 minutes; Shin-Suishin Station is another option, about a 13-minute walk away. If you want to stay until close, check the last return service first. The building’s midnight closing time does not mean transit runs late.
Agannasse is in Tsuruhada, north of central Kumamoto. Check the return connection before choosing a late visit. For a quick comparison with Batten no Yu, see the Kumamoto City natural hot-spring guide; the citywide bath guide covers neighbourhood sento as well.
