Hinode onsen

101. Hinode Onsen, Beppu Old-school onsen. No shower or soap/shampoo. Staff present. Entry 200, stamp given. Couldn't find a mineral composition chart. This onsen seems to have a special bath, if I understood correctly. There's a wooden partition with several holes that separates roughly 15% of the bath from full mixing (though water still partially mixes through the holes). And as I understood, the default water supply is nuclear-level hot, because even with constant cold water mixing from the tap, the main part of the bath is still very hot, and the partitioned section is so hot you can't even put your foot in normally. Clear water, easy to breathe. Also met some great guys in the bath — we chatted as best we could using a few words in English, Japanese, and hand gestures. Recommended for old-school fans looking for very hot water.
