Relax in a hot spring
Large communal bath, Higashi-no-yu
Hanzuiryo has two hot springs: the large bath "Higashi no Yu" and the private bath "Nishi no Yu" that guests can use free of charge. Both baths are equipped with indoor baths, open-air baths, cold baths, and saunas, allowing you to relax both body and mind.
Getting away from everyday life and being in nature frees the mind and body. This change of environment stimulates the five senses and balances the mind and body, which is said to be the "change of scenery effect." Please spend some time relaxing at Unzen Onsen, which is said to be effective in relieving daily stress and poor health.
Private bath Nishi-no-yu
It is a special moment to enjoy visually stunning cuisine while feeling the refreshing breeze that makes you forget the lingering heat of early autumn. As autumn deepens and the leaves turn red at their best, you can enjoy the flavors of autumn along with the colorful scenery.
Enjoy a luxurious trip that is only available this autumn, combining the nature of Unzen with the fine cuisine of Hanzuiryo. Come and spend a relaxing time at Hanzuiryo, where you can relax both body and mind.
