Ōita · Yufuin Onsen
Yufuin Sansuikan
ゆふいん山水館
A ryokan just an 8-minute walk from JR Yufuin Station whose pride is a large bath with sweeping windows over Mt. Yufu and the town below. Day bathing for travellers between sights runs 13:00-16:00 at 1,000 yen for adults (face towel included) and 500 yen for ages 4-12; the inn closes irregularly (about 8 days a year). After your soak, the in-house Yufuin Beer Hall serves local craft beer and a lunch buffet (11:45-13:30, reservation required). Kinrin-ko Lake and Yunotsubo Street are within walking distance, making it a convenient base for experiencing Yufuin Onsen without an overnight stay. The day-bathing window is short, so check the official site or call 0977-84-2101 before visiting.

More in this area
Takegawara Onsen
Founded in 1879, with its 1938 wooden building and curved gable, Takegawara is the symbol of Beppu Onsen. A regular bath costs ¥300 — a deep, hot pool down a flight of steps. The famous sand bath has you buried in warm sand by staff while wearing a yukata. Bring your own soap and shampoo.
Hyotan Onsen
A large complex where you can try Kannawa's specialties — waterfall bath, sand bath and steam bath — in one place. It once earned three Michelin stars and is used to overseas guests. Many private family baths; tattooed visitors are directed to these. A restaurant serves hell-steamed dishes. Open until 1 am.
Shitan-yu at Lake Kinrin
A thatched communal bath on the shore of Lake Kinrin. Unstaffed — drop ¥300 in the box at the door. Changing area and bath share one room; an indoor pool and a half-open pool facing the lake, and it is mixed bathing with clear water and little screening, so it's a challenge for women. Right in busy central Yufuin, but quiet at the 10 am opening.
