Sakura Sakura Onsen (さくらさくら温泉) is one of the many onsen (hot spring baths) you can find in the prefecture of Kagoshima, located in southern Japan. This onsen is a mild-acid sulfer spring and is said to be effective for treatment of neuralgia, stiff shoulders, exhaustion, rheumatism, sprain, and external wounds. So...pretty much everything! Sakura Sakura Onsen is famous for their mud bath, which will make you smell foul of sulfer for days but will make your skin shiny and smooth like a new born baby. This onsen is located within the grounds of Kirishima Kinowan National Park, which was designated in 1934, one of the first in Japan. #Kirishima #NationalPark Blog Post Here: http://goo.gl/G9K0VD More Park Info Here: http://goo.gl/kwn2Wn
