Nageshi Onsen

A municipal onsen that preserves the traditional style of a public bathhouse. It was formerly called Nageshi-yu, Nigii Onsen, or Ichiya Onsen. The previous onsen was located elsewhere. When local volunteers drilled a source on land they had acquired, they found high-quality water. While they were thinking about how to use it, a small wooden bathhouse was built overnight, which is why it was named Ichiya Onsen (one-night onsen). Located in central Beppu City, countless people have been bathing here since infancy. The current building was constructed in 1991, and next to it is a post-bathing rest area, a pocket park made of stones from Yantai, China.
