Myoban’s traditional box steam bath and two superb springs. Immerse yourself in the scent of sulfur on a hilltop overlooking Beppu Bay
Oita Beppu City
"Yuya Ebisu" is a day-use hot spring facility in Myoban Onsen, Beppu City, Oita Prefecture. Guests can enjoy two kinds of natural spring water in separate men’s and women’s baths that alternate daily: a rich sulfur spring with a distinctive egg-like scent, and a simple spring rich in metasilicic acid, known for its skin-beautifying properties. Its greatest highlight is the one-person box steam bath, a tradition passed down since the Edo period. Sitting in a wooden box with only your head exposed while bathing your whole body in natural hot spring steam is a truly exceptional detox time you can experience only here. After cooling off in a pot-shaped cold bath, you can enjoy open-air bathing on a terrace on higher ground overlooking Beppu Bay while feeling the pleasant sea breeze.
TypeNatural Hot Spring
A rich sulfur spring that symbolizes Myoban Onsen, with a milky white, cloudy appearance. Its strong egg-like scent is distinctive, and it is renowned as a beauty bath that helps smooth the skin through a peeling effect. This powerful spring is expected to widen capillaries and help with fatigue recovery and skin conditions.
TypeNatural Hot Spring
A weakly alkaline simple hot spring that is colorless, clear, and smooth on the skin. It contains plenty of metasilicic acid, a natural moisturizing ingredient, and leaves the skin soft and hydrated after bathing.
