I want to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and relax my mind and body.“
”I want to be healed by a high-quality hot spring and delicious meals during my vacation.”
For such adults, the place to visit is Seiryu-so, a hot spring resort quietly located in a famous hot spring resort in Kirishima, Kagoshima.

Seiryu-so is located at the foot of the Kirishima mountain range, a place with a long history of prosperity as the gate town of Kirishima Jingu Shrine.
This is the perfect place for an “adult’s reward trip” with its delicious local sake, Kurobuta pork, and a wide selection of seasonal delicacies from the mountains and sea.

Onsen, food, and sake. Each plays a leading role in the healing and enriching experience.
Why don’t you spend your own “two days and one night” at Seiryu-so?

Seiryu-so, a quiet inn embraced by the nature of Kirishima

Seiryu-so is a Japanese-style ryokan located along the lush greenery and mountain stream in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture.
Although it is located in a corner of Kirishima Hot Spring Village, its location surrounded by virgin forest and the murmuring of a mountain stream will bring you a sense of calm as if you were visiting a secluded hot spring.

The interior of the hotel is unified in a space overflowing with the warmth of wood, and from the moment you arrive, everyday time will gently unwind.
All guest rooms are mainly Japanese-style rooms, and you can take off your shoes and stretch out your legs in the comfort of your room.
In the rooms along the river, you can open the window to hear the pleasant sound of the river as background music, allowing you to spend mornings and evenings in harmony with nature.

Two types of spring water that can be enjoyed as if you were visiting a hot spring

The attraction of Seiryu-so’s hot springs lies in the two different types of spring water that can be enjoyed.

The large public baths, family baths, and guest rooms with hot spring baths in the hotel, where guests can bathe for free, offer “sulfur spring” water, and the Seseragi no Yu offers “meiban spring” water, which has a different nature.

Sulfur spring water: Sulfur components softly dissolve dead skin cells and make the skin smooth and beautiful.
It is also known as “hot water for lifestyle” and is expected to improve lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Myoban spring: Myoban spring contains aluminum and sulfate ions, which have an “astringent” effect by denaturing proteins and shrinking tissues and blood vessels. It is said to be effective for skin tightening and beautifying, and for chronic skin diseases. It is also called “eye water” and is said to be effective for cataracts and conjunctivitis. From the open-air bath, you can enjoy the view of the Kirishima mountains and the murmuring of the mountain stream, and feel the changing of the seasons while bathing in the bath.

Kaiseki cuisine featuring the unique flavors of Kagoshima, our specialty Kurobuta pork and local vegetables

One of the most enjoyable aspects of traveling is the food.
At Shizuru-so, kaiseki cuisine that makes the most of local seasonal ingredients is served.

Dinner is kaiseki cuisine using seasonal Kagoshima ingredients.
Breakfast is served with rice and side dishes cooked with fresh water from the Kirishima mountain range.

Enjoy the cuisine of Shizuru-so, which is packed with the flavors of Kagoshima, such as Kurobuta pork, Japanese black beef, Satsuma soup, pork miso, etc., with a focus on local production for local consumption and local flavors.

Kagoshima’s locally brewed sake and authentic shochu to add a touch of elegance to your meal.

Kagoshima’s locally brewed sake and authentic shochu further enrich the dining experience.
Shizuru-so offers a carefully selected selection of shochu and sake from local breweries.
Kagoshima is famous for its imo-jochu (potato shochu). In addition to the representative brands “Kuroisanishiki” and “Mitake,” you may encounter limited editions carefully brewed in small breweries around Kirishima.

The fat from the Kurobuta pork and the savory flavor of Imojochu (potato shochu) are a truly golden combination.
Enjoy the different flavors of shochu with hot water, with water, or on the rocks, and take your time to enjoy the conversation.
