Visiting Ureshino Onsen today

  • What it is: A riverside hot-spring town known for silky, skin-softening water, onsen-yudofu (tofu simmered in spring water) and Ureshino green tea, grown here since 1504.
  • Getting there: Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen to Ureshino-Onsen Station (opened 2022); about half of trains stop. JR Kyushu buses also run from Takeo-Onsen Station.
  • Hours: Vary by bathhouse.
  • Admission: Free footbaths in town; bathhouses charge their own fees.
  • Tip: The Siebold-no-Yu public bathhouse is the town's symbol; adult entry at many baths is half price on the third Wednesday of each month.
