3. The fee is ¥500 for adults from November 1
The Kagoshima Prefecture Public Bath Association raised the bathing fee on November 1, 2026 to ¥500 for adults, ¥150 for elementary school children and ¥80 for infants. Until October the adult fee was ¥460, and a 10-ticket booklet was ¥4,200 at many sento (the association’s notice does not give the booklet price from November).
The new price matches the legal ceiling that the prefecture sets for sento fees. On August 31, 2026, the prefecture’s public bath fee council reported that raising the adult ceiling from ¥460 to ¥500 was appropriate, and after the prefectural notice, the association changed its fees from November 1. Elementary school ¥150 and infant ¥80 did not change. When checked on November 3, the official sites of Kirishima Onsen, Yakushi Onsen, Ashikari Onsen, Midori Onsen and Yoshino Onsen still showed ¥460, while Tokinosumika showed ¥500.
