101. Hinode Onsen, Beppu ★ An old-school onsen for ¥200. The stated hours are 07:00 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 23:00. They stamp the Beppu Onsen-do stamp. Staff are sometimes there. No shower. No water quality table. The bath photo from the internet matches. The water is clear, and the temperature in the main area is 44.5. It is easy to breathe inside. There is a wooden partition with several holes that separates a small part of the bath into a kind of settling area with a higher temperature. A memorable onsen, both visually and in terms of communication with the locals. 30.04.2024 02.01.2026

About
Hinode Onsen, a relaxing bath for locals. Located along National Route 10 by the sea, it is marked by a large sign saying "Bright and clean, a bath for the whole family." Despite being next to a major road, it is a quietly peaceful onsen. After paying the fee and descending about five stone steps, you find a traditional communal bath where the changing room and bathing area are combined. The ceiling is high, and the bath is relatively spacious and open for a communal bath. During the day, light passes through blue translucent walls, creating a somewhat fantastic atmosphere. The walls and tiles are pastel-colored, providing a soothing feeling. It is a place of relaxation filled with the laughter of nearby residents. The bath is filled to the brim with simple spring water that has a slight viscosity and a soft texture on the skin. Part of the bath is separated by a wooden partition as "hot water," allowing those who prefer hotter water to enjoy it. The water temperature varies daily, so each visit offers a different experience. If the water is too hot, please ask those already bathing to adjust it to a comfortable temperature. Next to the entrance stands a Jizo statue dressed stylishly with a clean bib and hat, cherished by the local people.
