Anything else nearbyIn the middle of things

A green-roofed Taisho-era building standing directly on the street outside Beppu Station, where you pick either the hot or the lukewarm bath - each fed by a different spring. Bare-bones inside, with a free hand bath out front and cheap bunks upstairs, and about as convenient as a Japanese bathhouse gets.

Scored from official photos, maps and transport information — not from a visit.

The baths

Indoor bath

Two indoor baths of different spring quality - atsu-yu (hot) and nuru-yu (lukewarm); you choose one. Free hand bath (te-yu) out front.

Open to day visitors
