No. 4 of Hot Springs Attractions in Kumamoto Prefecture

Sakura-yu - Yamaga Onsen Motoyu

Sakura-yu - Yamaga Onsen Motoyu is a renowned public bath in Yamaga Onsen, celebrated as one of the few large-scale wooden hot spring structures in Kyushu. Its history dates back approx. 370 years, when the first lord of the Higo Hosokawa clan, who loved the water quality and scenery of Yamaga Onsen, built a retreat called "Ochaya" (tea house) here, which was the predecessor of Sakura-yu. Today, the bathhouse still retains the atmosphere and layout of the Edo period. The interior design is nostalgic and retro, preserving many original architectural features and details. While soaking, you can look up to see old-fashioned wooden beams, vintage advertisements, and handwritten signs. With the sound of local residents chatting in Japanese in your ears, it feels as if you have stepped back in time, creating a sense of traveling to the past. The spring water at Sakura-yu is a highly alkaline simple hot spring. It feels smooth and gentle on the skin, offering excellent moisturizing and skin-beautifying effects, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple after bathing. The bathhouse also features a drinking fountain where visitors can taste the hot spring water directly and experience the authentic flavor of the onsen. Overall, this is not just a place for bathing, but a rare destination to experience the history and local life of Yamaga.
