Oita Bungotakada City
A cloudy secret hot spring with a view of the bizarre rock formations of Ebisu Yabakei
"Ebisu Valley Onsen" is a public hot spring with a wonderfully secluded feel, nestled deep in the mountains of Bungotakada City, Oita Prefecture, amid the majestic scenery of Ebisu Yabakei. Its rare sulfate spring, unusual even within Oita Prefecture, is a powerful greenish-brown cloudy bath with a distinctive burnt-like aroma that heightens the onsen atmosphere. The sauna is a compact space equipped with a stone stove, where you can face yourself in silence without a TV. The cold plunge bath, using groundwater, has an amazingly smooth, gentle texture on the skin, softly enveloping a body warmed by the heat. While gazing out at the spectacular bizarre rock formations beyond the window, you can savor deep rest and forget the everyday.
This is a rare greenish-brown cloudy sulfate spring, even within the prefecture. Its distinctive aroma, blending iron and ammonia, along with its complex color, creates a strong sense of a secluded hot spring. With a bathing feel that gently wraps around the skin, it is expected to be highly effective for cuts and skin ailments. Soaking in the open-air bath with a view of the bizarre rock formations of Ebisu Yabakei while feeling the breath of nature is exceptional.
This is a small two-tier dry sauna equipped with a stone stove. The quiet space, with no TV or background music, is ideal for turning inward and focusing on your own breathing. The gentle heat released from the stones fills the room and slowly warms you to the core, making it a meditative sauna befitting a secluded inn.
