Furosen

Among the municipal onsens, it has the largest bath and is a hot spring located a 5-minute walk from the station. It is said that the bathhouse has existed since around the Meiji era. Close to Beppu Station and the city center, it has been used by many citizens as well as tourists. With the increase in tourists, renovations were made during the Meiji and Taisho eras, and in 1957, the building was rebuilt as a three-story reinforced concrete structure with a large public bath, family rooms, and a hall. The facility, renewed and reopened in August 2014, incorporates dignified and attractive designs befitting its historic hot spring. To ensure comfortable use by many people, it is equipped with an elevator for the visually impaired, multipurpose toilets, and ramps at the entrance, incorporating many barrier-free designs. It secures the largest bath among municipal onsens and offers "Atsuyu" (hot water) and "Nuruyu" (lukewarm water) so visitors can bathe according to their preference. The second floor has a meeting room with flooring that can be used for various purposes.
