What is a moor spring?
Moor spring is an informal description for water containing organic matter derived from plants, not the statutory Japanese spring classification. The formal classification here is sodium bicarbonate-chloride spring. Color and skin feel vary; a mineral description does not guarantee a beauty or medical effect.
Baths, mist sauna and cool spring bath
- Indoor and open-air baths use the distinctive spring water.
- The sauna is a source-water mist sauna, not a dry sauna.
- A cooler source-water bath may show white mineral deposits.
- Hydrate and take breaks, especially after combining the bath and mist sauna.
Private rooms: calculate the full price
There are six private rooms. The room fee does not include admission: add each guest’s bath admission to ¥1,200 per 60 minutes. Two adults cost ¥2,800 normally or ¥2,400 during weekday happy hour. Extensions are ¥600 for 30 minutes or ¥1,200 for 60 minutes. Phone reservations are accepted only on weekdays.
Meals at the on-site restaurant
The restaurant is listed as 11:00–14:30, last order 14:00, and 17:00–21:00, last order 20:15. One signature item is steamed eel seiro gozen at ¥2,880, or ¥3,580 with bathing. Menus and availability may change.
Access and parking
A car is the practical choice: about 25 minutes from Yame IC or 10 minutes from Yanagawa-Nishi IC. From Nishitetsu Omizo Station, a taxi takes about 10 minutes. The free car park has 50 spaces.
Kyushu 88 Onsen Trail
Midori no Yu is on the 2026 Kyushu 88 Onsen Trail. Ask for the stamp before bathing. The current Fukuoka tourism listing says tattoos are not accepted in the public bath but may be accepted in a private room; confirm individual circumstances before arrival.
Who should choose Midori no Yu?
- Travelers curious about a moor spring and unusual water color
- Families or couples wanting a private bath
- Visitors who can arrive during the weekday morning discount
- People combining bathing with lunch or dinner
- Dry-sauna users should understand that this facility lists a mist sauna
