Insider tip — Kobayashi Onsen Bijin no Yu, beauty bath of Kobayashi, draws a sodium-chloride spring from the volcanic soils of inland Miyazaki, delivering water that coats skin in a mineral sheen associated with cosmetic benefits. The name Bijin no Yu, beauty water, is an informal regional designation given to springs whose chemistry demonstrably improves skin texture. Kobayashi sits between the Kirishima mountains and the Miyazaki coastal plain, making it a convenient stop on scenic drives. The salt mineral content also extends the body-warming effect well after you leave the pool.
