Cafe Takasaki & onsen

127. Cafe Takasaki & onsen, Beppu A cafe with a private onsen. The owner is clearly a fan of onsen culture - the house is filled with various onsen-related artifacts. The most interesting ones were of course the old spa passports (blue, foil, and a tiny ancient one). The owner reacted with great interest, we chatted through a translator. As I understood, the onsen is included with food at the cafe since there was no extra charge. They stamp both the Beppu onsen-do passport and the 88 Onsens of Kyushu booklet. The bath is in a separate room. Cozy, breathing is excellent. Water in the bath is clear, temperature hot+. Highly recommended for onsen enthusiasts. This place is unique in its own way.
