How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Small, spotlessly kept simple-spring bath with a community hall on the first floor above - the standard Beppu neighbourhood layout. Rebuilt by local residents after a fire. Very much a local living room; the attendant and regulars are used to visitors and happy to chat.

Why Agoda for Japan: it lists a lot of ryokan and small inns that the Western booking sites never picked up, and it usually prices Japanese properties in yen, so you are not paying a conversion spread on top of the room rate. Worth comparing before you book — the difference on a ryokan is often larger than you would expect.
About the day-pass link: Asoview is the main place day-use onsen in Japan sell entry tickets and discount coupons in advance. It is a Japanese-only site, so use your browser’s translation — you show the ticket on your phone at the door.
