ずいぶん以前に入浴しました正面の吉田屋さんに宿泊した時に入浴しました小さいながら気持ちのいい温泉でした地元の方が使われていて家に風呂はあるけど普段はここを使われていると話してくださったのを覚えています熊本地震の影響なのだと思いますが湯量が低下してしまったとのこと。いつかもし入れるよう湯量が戻ることがあるかもしれませんので口コミを書いておきます

こんな素晴らしいお湯に100円で入れるなんて信じられません。度々入れなくなるので、（温泉が出なくなる？）入れた時はラッキーです。

泉質：単純酸性温泉（酸性、低張性、高温泉）源泉温度：56.8℃（湯船は熱めの設定です。当方利用時は体感43〜44℃くらいかな？）臭い：若干の硫黄臭温泉別適応症：アトピー、尋常性乾癬、糖尿病、表皮化膿症駐車場：2台（セダンサイズだとちょっとしんどい）明礬温泉地区の共同浴場。無料で利用できますが、地域住民の方々に感謝して外来の方は入り口の賽銭箱に利用料を納めましょう。 4〜5人程度の浴槽が中央に一つのみので、浴室の床はコンクリ打ちっぱなしのシンプルな渋い温泉。建屋は比較的新しく、平日昼過ぎだったためか利用者はおらずゆっくり入浴できました。トイレは建屋の裏側にありますので、入浴前に済ましておきましょう。
