Our signature Onsen features free-flowing open-air baths fed directly from the source and wrapped in steam, a spacious public bath, gently warming steam baths, hot-stone spa treatments, and more—designed to relax both body and mind. In June 2026, a new attraction, “Sand Bath Onsen Kirisa,” will open inside the Hotel. Our on-site Facility offerings are also extensive, including a kids’ park and relaxation areas. For dining, we offer kaiseki cuisine and buffet options featuring Kagoshima Kuroge Wagyu beef, Kurobuta pork, and seasonal local ingredients. Enjoy a blissful moment that delights all five senses.

  • Everything was great except that the Room was so hot I could barely sleep. There was a fan in the Room, so I should have turned it on, but I couldn’t be bothered to get up, plug it in, and switch it on, so I just endured it until morning. After taking a bath in the evening, I enjoyed 4 of the 12 kinds of complimentary shochu in the lounge. Then live music started as well, and it was such a lovely time relaxing on a comfortable sofa. For the shochu, ice, cold water, and hot water are provided, so you can drink it however you like. As is often the case with buffets, it was quite crowded at mealtime, but there were also Kagoshima local dishes, which made it fun.

  • We stayed here over a long weekend with my daughter’s family.The building is old, but you can feel how hard the staff work everywhere, and it’s a Hotel we really like! There are many thoughtful touches for children, so families can have a great time.The Onsen and meals were excellent, and there’s also a game corner (some games are free) and a table tennis area. There’s a play space for small children, activities like making bead accessories, balloon shows, and more—time flew by.This time we also used the private bath; it even had an open-air bath attached, which we loved.We also used the Fruit Land tickets, and the kids were very happy.Thank you very much.

Introduction of the Accommodation

The Appeal of Kirishima Kokusai Hotel: An Accommodation with Steaming Hot Springs and Milky, Cloudy Waters
Onsen

Relax and enjoy Onsen to your heart’s content in Kirishima, the village of hot springs.

When you come to Kirishima, it’s all about the Onsen! At Kirishima Kokusai Hotel, you can unwind in our proudly abundant hot spring waters. Refresh both body and mind with a variety of baths, including milky white cloudy water, a cypress open-air bath, stone sauna, a mud pack popular with women, and private open-air baths where you can relax without worry. Enjoy a leisurely time of comfort and relaxation.

Sand Bath Onsen Kirisa

Sand Bath Onsen Kirisa

The famous Ibusuki “Sand Bath Onsen” has arrived at Kirishima Kokusai Hotel. Instead of “sea sand,” the sand used for the sand bath is silica sand (mountain sand) derived from Shirasu, known for its potential skin-beautifying benefits. We offer a new bathing experience that supports beauty and wellness.

Room

Relax in our Premium Room with an observation terrace, overlooking the steaming hot springs of Kirishima below.

On the top-floor steam-filled level “Kiri no Shima,” we offer nine premium rooms, each with its own distinctive Japanese or Western style. Enjoy the Onsen atmosphere from fully opening windows, with drifting steam and the scent of sulfur. Feel the pleasant light and breeze as you unwind on the panoramic terrace for an exceptional relaxing time away from everyday life.

Kirishima Kids Park

Kirishima Kids Park

A playroom divided into three age-based areas: “Active,” “Pretend Play,” and “Baby.” With Kirishima-inspired play equipment and items featuring a tree motif, even young children can play safely. Enjoy a fun time together as a family. Hours: 7:00–22:00 Fee: Free

Notice from the Accommodation

  • A sand bath Onsen, “Kirisuna,” is now open in the Hotel!

    First in the Kirishima Onsen area! Sand Bath Onsen “Kirisuna”

    A sand bath Onsen—rare even across the whole country—has opened at Kirishima Kokusai Hotel.

    The sand bath area of “Kirisuna” features 2 sections with 28 beds and can be used by men and women at the same time.
    With lockers and shower rooms, you can experience this uniquely Japanese bathing style.


    ■ Sand Bath Onsen “Kirisuna” ■
    The pressure of the sand and high heat promote heavy perspiration, providing a refreshing sensation that warms your entire body from the core in a short time.
    The sand used has undergone component testing and data analysis for compatibility with sulfur springs. Instead of the sea sand used in Ibusuki, we use silica sand derived from Shirasu (mountain sand), which is expected to support beautiful skin.
    During your sand bath experience, you can also use the popular mud pack “Kirika” free of charge.

  • On June 1, 2026, the open-air bath “Shirashino-yu” will reopen after renovation!

    In June 2026, the open-air bath “Byakushinoyu” reopened for the first time in three years.

    Since the Hotel opened, the renowned Onsen “Byakushinoyu” has been loved by many guests.
    With refreshed landscaping and interiors, it is now a more comfortable open-air bath with a calm, relaxing atmosphere.
    This cloudy open-air Onsen features sulfur minerals that react to sunlight, creating a mysterious milky blue or emerald green appearance.
    Please enjoy it together with our sand-bath Onsen.
