Beppu Ohirayama Onsen OKATANOYU

We were lucky — a rotenburo was available. It was very large, beautifully decorated, with a roof and lighting. We didn't need to fill the water ourselves, everything was already filled, but you could freely adjust the temperature. We added cold water and I was surprised at how quickly such a large bath cooled down.

154. Beppu Ohirayama Onsen OKATANOYU An onsen that only offers private baths. 10 to choose from, prices from 1500 to 2500 yen. The nearest one was 1500 - took that one. Stamp available. When they led me to my bath, it turned out the tub was empty and I needed to fill it myself (not sure if all their baths are like this). To do that, you drop a special token and onsen water pours from a large pipe. You can also mix hot water labeled as onsen with cold (obviously tap) water from a faucet. The onsen water was clear and very hot. Without diluting with cold water, sitting in would've been impossible. Breathing inside the room was good. Solid place - really cool experience filling the water yourself, and the bath selection is interesting too.
