Oita Beppu City
Myoban's traditional box steam bath and two superb springs. A soothing space on a hill overlooking Beppu Bay
"Yuy Ebisu" is a day-use hot spring facility in Myoban Onsen, Beppu City, Oita Prefecture. Guests can luxuriate in two types of spring water in separate baths that alternate between men and women by day: the milky white sulfur spring with its distinctive scent, and the colorless, crystal-clear simple spring that is gentle on the skin. Its greatest feature is the one-person box steam bath, a tradition handed down since the Edo period. The experience of standing with only your head outside the wooden box while bathing your whole body in natural hot spring steam is a truly exceptional detox time that can only be enjoyed here. After cooling down in the fan-shaped cold plunge bath, you can enjoy blissful open-air bathing while feeling the pleasant sea breeze in the healing room on a hill overlooking Beppu Bay.

Located on a hill overlooking Beppu Bay, this bath lets you enjoy two types of spring water: the milky white sulfur spring with its distinctive scent, and the colorless, crystal-clear simple spring that is gentle on the skin. The open-air bath on the first floor and the indoor bath on the second floor alternate between men and women each day, and feature a variety of tubs, allowing you to enjoy a full hot spring tour while feeling the sky and the breeze.

A traditional box steam bath handed down for generations in the Beppu Myoban area. Sit inside a wooden box with only your head outside, and bathe your whole body in hot spring steam rising from the natural sulfur spring in a unique style. Without ever feeling short of breath, you can slowly and comfortably sweat while being wrapped in the heat and aroma of nature's blessings.

A rare private open-air bath in Myoban Onsen where you can enjoy a sulfur spring in a private setting. The wooden changing area and retro-style reception desk create a relaxing atmosphere that puts you at ease. You can spend a special, soothing time with someone important to you, undisturbed by anyone else.

A private indoor bath equipped in the guest room Rabbit's Sleeping Breath, offering exclusive access to the only acidic sulfur spring. From the large window, you can enjoy a beautiful view, and in a quiet atmosphere that differs from the large bath, you can indulge in this superb famous spring whenever you like, as much as you like. It is a luxurious private space.

A beautifully designed cold plunge bath shaped like a fan. It gently envelops the body after a box steam bath or hot spring soak, and briskly tightens heated skin. After cooling down, guests can spend a blissful rest time in a scenic healing space overlooking Beppu Bay while feeling the sea breeze.
