Ureshino Onsen, like Takeo Onsen , is known for soothing, alkaline waters with minerals said to have various health benefits.

Like most onsen towns, there are various baths to choose from here. Some are only available with an overnight stay, which is highly recommended, while others are open to all.

You will sometimes see or hear the phrase, bihada no yu, which means “skin-beautifying waters,” and refers to the alkaline water for which Saga is famous

How to Get There

You can get to Ureshino Onsen by train and then bus.

From Saga Station, take one of the local JR lines to Takeo-Onsen Station. From there, it's about a 35-minute bus ride to Ureshino-Onsen Bus Center.

Magical onsen water

The main onsen area is lined with public baths and various lounges to relax in afterward. The city has been ranked high among the nation's onsen towns, especially for its water.
