131. Nogamihonkan Ryokan, Beppu Visited for day-use bathing for 500 yen (listed from 14 to 16). Inside there's a spacious old-school bath and a "strange" little waterfall. The water is apparently special - it corrodes the tiles around the bath and the surface of the stone the waterfall hits. The water in the bath is cloudy, milky-greenish in color. Haven't seen water like this in central Beppu. Water temperature is between warm and hot. Breathing is good. Considering the interesting water and the waterfall - recommended.
