Insider tip — 'Yuraku' (遊楽 — pleasure and leisure) at Kaseda Kaihin Onsen on the western Satsuma coast facing the Yatsushiro Sea. 'Kaihin' = seaside — the onsen overlooks waters through which Satsuma secretly traded with China and Southeast Asia during the Edo period's official isolation, making this domain uniquely cosmopolitan among Japan's feudal domains. The sea breeze and volcanic thermal waters make Kaseda's coastal bath a sensory pleasure.
