A Hot Spring Unlike No Other
Right next to the lobby, you will find the entrance to the inn’s rock bath. The first thing you will notice is the changing area, which is made of stone tiles. Here you can leave your belongings before heading to the hot spring.
Including the changing area, the room consists of a bath, a shower, and toiletries provided by the inn. As the water can be pretty hot because of the room layout, there is also a hose available so that you can easily regulate the temperature of the hot spring.
This hot spring is quite unlike any hot spring you might have tried before, as it is designed to look like a cave. The room is covered in rocks from the floor to the ceiling, making you feel like you have found a secret water source. The room is well-lit, making it appear open and welcoming. Before you decide to get in the bath, make sure to wash off properly per hot spring custom.

The water has a warm and smooth texture, which feels great against the skin. The room engulfed in stone creates a soothing and tranquil atmosphere despite being placed right in the heart of Beppu. Though the space is relatively compact, you still get fresh air through the several ventilation vents built into the walls. The hot spring takes you away from everyday life and allows you to relax in complete serenity.
