Stay overnight at Kumamoto's 24-hour hot spring and sauna complex, known as the 'Holy Land of the West'

Three saunas and Aufguss

Both the men's and women's sides have three saunas: classic, meditation and the steam-filled Dai-Aso eruption sauna. Aufguss sessions run every hour from noon to 1 a.m.

Groundwater cold bath

The large cold bath is fed by Kumamoto groundwater, with the entire volume replaced about eight times a day. The women's cold bath is 153 cm deep.

8,000 manga and a restaurant

The second floor, reserved for rest and overnight guests, has over 8,000 manga to read for free and a restaurant steps from the sauna.

Dorms, women-only rooms, annex

Choose from curtained bunk-style dormitories, the women-only semi-private 'Blue Velvet' rooms, or one of eight private rooms in a separate annex on the grounds.

Getting there

About 5 minutes' walk from JR Heisei Station, or about 5-8 minutes by taxi from JR Kumamoto Station
