462. Hebinoyu, Beppu Wild onsen, very inconvenient to reach without a car. On the approach there are signs about crime. Popular with locals, you can also encounter tourists, but nobody bothers anyone in practice. Has a roof and a women's changing room. 1. Two-level bath at the bottom. 1.1. Lower level with the best, maximally natural wild view. Clear water with a small amount of mud fragments. Temperature 39. 1.2. Upper level, clear water, more mud than the lower one. Water temperature 40. 2. Upper zone. 2.1. Main bath with sand on the bottom, clear water, temperature 40. Very small amount of mud fragments. Bath photo from the internet, accurate. 2.2. Lying bath, temperature 42. Minimal mud fragments. Super cool wild onsen. Inconvenient to reach, road is in rough shape (could be dangerous by car in the evening or fog). 01.04.2025
