About

A municipal onsen with a secret hot-spring atmosphere, equipped with open-air baths, steam baths, and family baths. It is said that Emperor Daigo healed his illness here in 895 and Emperor Go-Reizei in 1044. It is also said that it became known as "Shibaseki" after "柴 no Kaseki" (fossil of firewood) was found in the Edo period. Designated as a national health and recreation onsen area with high therapeutic effects, there is a forest promenade nearby connecting to Myoban Onsen. (※The forest promenade is currently closed.) In April 1997, it reopened with a new look as a "Fureai Yasuragi Onsenchi" blessed with natural scenery. There are two hot springs with different temperatures, open-air baths, and steam baths, and family baths are available for guests with families.

896. Shibaseki Onsen, Beppu ★ Onsen for ¥300. Opening hours are listed as 07:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 20:00, except on the second Wednesday of the month. There is a private bath, I did not use it. They stamp the Beppu Onsen-do seal. The bath photos from the internet match. 1. Indoor area. It is comfortable to breathe inside. 1.1. First bath. The water is clear, with a slight bluish tint. Temperature 43. 1.2. Second bath. The water is clear, with a slight bluish tint. Temperature 45. 2. Outdoor area. There is no view, it is behind a fence. 2.1. Bath partly in rock. The water is clear, with a slight bluish tint. Temperature 40.5. 2.2. Steam sauna in a separate hut. A pleasant place, worth keeping in mind. 05.04.2026
