Takesako Onsen is located in Kagoshima, at the southern tip of Kyūshū, a volcanic region known for its many onsens. The sulfurous water reaches 44°C. An indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna are gathered here.
Insider tip — Kagoshima city sits directly opposite the ever-active Sakurajima volcano. Takesako Onsen channels the same volcanic energy that dusts the city with ash daily — the sulfurous water here is intensely mineralised and skin-softening.
