Shirani Onsen
A Serene Countryside Onsen Cherished by Locals for Day Visits
Located about 20 minutes by car from Bungo-Taketa Station, Shirani Onsen Fureai-no-Yu is a charming day-use onsen facility that is deeply integrated into the community. This onsen was drilled through contributions and donations from local residents, making it not just a relaxing retreat but also a hub for local interaction.
The facility’s structure is a simple wooden building, and local elementary school children helped with piling up the rocks for the outer stone walls. The onsen itself offers gender-separated baths that rotate daily, providing a soothing space to unwind. Guests can also enjoy a self-serve tea station and relax in a rest area equipped with massage chairs for added comfort.
As a gathering spot where travelers and residents can connect, this onsen radiates warmth and a sense of community spirit.
