Jigoku Onsen Seifuso

Kumamoto Prefecture／Aso District
¥70,400～
Dinner and Breakfast included ; 2 peopleTax included¥63,360〜
(USD 397.14)

Enjoy the Jigoku Onsen, which springs from Eboshi-dake, one of the Aso Five Peaks, and immerse yourself in the surrounding nature.

A long-established Property located on the slopes of Mount Eboshi, one of the five peaks of Mount Aso, preserving the Jigoku Onsen which first opened in 1803. Stepping into the main building, which is over 100 years old and has been renovated after the Kumamoto Earthquake, feels like entering a different world, as if traveling back in time. The Onsen features three different sources, offering 11 baths across four locations, each with unique water qualities and atmospheres. Guests can enjoy the "Suzume no Yu," a "miraculous bath" rich in sulfur content with water bubbling up from the ground, as well as the highly acidic "Moto no Yu" and "Tamago no Yu," choosing baths based on their benefits and purposes. For dinner, a variety of courses are available, including seasonal hot pots, irori hearth dishes, and Kyoto-style kaiseki cuisine. Local wild boar and venison, caught by local hunters, offer a rustic and unique taste of Aso. Experience the blessings of magnificent nature through the Onsen and cuisine.

  • We had an amazing time—thank you so much. We’re truly grateful and deeply impressed.

    Although I was worried about the earthquake’s impact, I decided to visit from Kumamoto Airport. Perhaps because a week had passed since the quake, I hardly noticed any effects and was able to stay with peace of mind. Above all, I was amazed by how delicious the meals were. Dinner featured duck hot pot, miso soup, and rice cooked in a traditional pot; breakfast included nori seaweed, natto, and French toast. Every dish felt heartfelt, and I ended up eating far more than I expected. The Onsen was just as described in advance and helped relieve my fatigue. It was a truly satisfying stay.Lastly, I asked about the period “.” after Seifuso’s name that had caught my attention. Despite all the hardships you have faced—including the earthquake—I was deeply moved to hear that it represents putting a “.” (period) on these hardships and creating a new Seifuso going forward. Thank you very much. If I have the chance, I would love to stay again.

  • It was a wonderful accommodation.

    It was my first visit in a long time since the disaster, and it was a wonderful Accommodation. The meals were excellent—the venison shabu-shabu was very healthy and delicious, and breakfast was also superb. Above all, the hot spring water was great, the surrounding atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff’s thoughtful hospitality was outstanding.

Suzume no Yu The mixed-gender open-air bath "Suzume no Yu" has long been cherished as a therapeutic healing spring. "Where are you visiting from?" This simple question creates the unique and magical atmosphere that only Suzume no Yu can offer. Within these humble conversations lies the essence of Suzume no Yu—the power to resonate with the Japanese spirit and provide deep comfort. It reminds us that we are connected to others, offering a sense of reassurance where happiness can be found. Without being told, as its waters endlessly flow, Suzume no Yu gently teaches us this truth.
