ニューニシノサウナ & 天然温泉 (NEW NISHINO ONSEN SAUNA SPA) — Local services in Kagoshima

Business and Hot Springs Balancing work and hot springs might be something unique to Japan (though some might call it being a workaholic). You can focus deeply on your work, and when you hit a wall, refresh yourself in the hot spring — often finding new ideas while soaking in the bath.

There are only a few places in Japan where this kind of lifestyle is possible, and this facility is one of them. However, the working space is quite small. On the other hand, the natural hot spring is excellent — and above all, the mist sauna is fantastic. There’s even a löyly (steam sauna ritual), and the cold bath is also very refreshing.

That said, the guest rooms leave something to be desired. More importantly, the facility should be more accessible to women. If that were the case, the sauna, relaxation space, and working area would all likely...

鹿児島・天文館にあるサウナ好きの聖地「サウナニューニシノ」。 「地元に愛される名店」という言葉がぴったりの、素晴らしい施設でした。 ここのサウナは2種類。メインは、壁面に貴重な「ケロの木」を、ストーンに「桜島の溶岩石」を使用した本格フィンランドサウナです。90℃前後の安定した温度と広々とした空間で、定期的に行われるロウリュサービスを受ければ、滝のような汗が吹き出します。 もう一つの「備長炭温泉蒸気サウナ」は、天然温泉のスチームでじっくりと蒸される心地よさ。そして火照った体を迎えるのは、15℃に保たれた天然地下水の水風呂。まろやかな水質が最高に気持ちいいです。 外気浴スペースはありませんが、静かな内気浴スペースにはイスが5〜6脚あり、落ち着いて集中できる環境が整っています。 サウナだけでなく、地下から湧き出る天然温泉の湯船や、テレビ付きのリクライニングチェアが並ぶ休憩室も完備。今回は利用しませんでしたが、食事処のメニューも美味しそうでした。まさに至れり尽くせりです。 鹿児島旅行の際には必ず旅程に組み込みたい、そして近所にあったら毎日通い詰めてしまうだろう、最高のサウナでした。

(Translated by Google) Sauna New Nishino, a sacred ground for sauna lovers, shining brightly in Kagoshima's Tenmonkan. The words "a famous spot loved by local fans" fit perfectly to describe this wonderful facility. There are two types of saunas here. The main one is an authentic Finnish sauna using precious "Kelo wood" for its walls and "Sakurajima lava stones." Receiving the regular Löyly service in the spacious room with its stable temperature of around 90°C will have you sweating waterfalls. The other, the "Binchotan Charcoal Steam Sauna," offers the comfort of being slowly steamed by natural hot spring vapor. And awaiting your hot body is the natural groundwater bath, kept at 15°C. The mellow water quality feels amazing. There's no outdoor air bath, but the quiet indoor space is equipped with 5-6 chairs, creating an environment where you can relax and concentrate. Not just the sauna, but it's also fully equipped with a natural hot spring bath and a break room with reclining chairs with TVs. I didn't use it this time, but the diner menu also looked delicious. It's a place that has everything. This was a supreme sauna that you'll definitely want to include in your itinerary for a Kagoshima trip, and one you'd frequent every day if you...

I visited the Onsen only

The staff was very friendly and kind (especially the owner), the sauna quality was really good (including the aroma oil), and the onsen itself was very refreshing. There was even a hot tub Onsen!

If you go in the morning you can enter for ¥1200 yen which is fantastic value for money!

Thank you 😊

(For anyone reading, yes it's only for men except "ladies day" a few times a month. I have no idea whether or not tattoos...
