What is Sleepy Waiting Hot Spring?
Neytai Onsen is located on Kuchino-erabu Island, 140 minutes by ferry from Yakushima.

You could say that it is near Tategami, the symbol of Kuchinoerabu Island.
Whether or not you are able to enter the Neyetai Hot Springs is partly a matter of luck.
This is because the soil and soil texture surrounding the Sleepy Hollow Hot Springs are extremely vulnerable to rainfall, and even a small amount of rainfall can cause landslides and other landslides.
There is also a hot-spring cure hut for long-term and short-term stays, but this hut has been affected by the volcanic eruption.
It is advisable to call the community center to check if it is available and to reserve a cabin for your stay.
It is the most excellent hot spring among the four hot springs on Kuchino-erabu Island.
Since there is only one ferry service per day, you will inevitably have to stay overnight, so advance preparation is necessary.
