Insider tip — 'Yutaka' (豊か — abundance) Onsen in Kanoya on the Osumi Peninsula. Kanoya's fertile red clay Shirasu plateau soils — deposited by ancient caldera eruptions — produce exceptional sweet potatoes, the basis of Kagoshima's famed imo-jochu shochu distilling tradition. The volcanic substrate that makes Kanoya's agriculture prosper also supplies its thermal waters. A neighbourhood bath embedded in the rhythms of Osumi's agricultural life.
