Oita Yufu City
A superb resort embraced by a natural onsen fed straight from the source with views of Mount Yufu, and gardens spread across 10,000 tsubo of grounds
Yufuin Baien GARDEN RESORT is an onsen inn in Yufu, Oita Prefecture. Its grounds, covering more than 10,000 tsubo (about 33,000 m²), unfold into gardens that change with every season and gently embrace all who visit. The pride of the inn is its natural onsen, the “Bijin-no-Yu” (waters of beauty), rich in metasilicic acid and fed straight from the source, never recirculated. In Tenshin-no-Oyu, the great open-air bath that looks up at the majestic form of Mount Yufu, and in the hinoki bath with its soothing scent of wood, you can bathe to your heart’s content while feeling the breath of nature all around you. There is also a spacious private open-air bath, as well as detached cottage rooms, each with its own open-air bath, that promise time entirely to yourselves. Here awaits a resort stay far from the everyday, steeped in the serene air and rich nature of Yufuin.

The main bathhouse pairs a wonderfully open rock-built open-air bath, looking straight up at Mount Yufu, with a hinoki bath whose woody fragrance soothes the senses. The fresh water, fed straight from the source just as it wells up, never recirculated, is the “Bijin-no-Yu” (waters of beauty), rich in metasilicic acid. Its natural moisturizing components gently envelop the skin, leaving it remarkably smooth after you step out. Feeling the breath of magnificent nature, you can forget the everyday and set body and mind free in a truly blissful soak.

A private open-air bath whose charm lies in its spacious design, something rare even in Yufuin. Free from the eyes of others, you can have this celebrated water, fed straight from the source, never recirculated, all to yourselves with family or someone special. In a private space wrapped in clear air and stillness, you can relax for as long as you like.

Each standalone detached cottage room has its own open-air bath and semi-open-air bath. It is the ultimate private space, where you can soak in the inn’s prized “Bijin-no-Yu” whenever you like and for as long as you like. Gazing at the green of the garden from the tub, then cooling off on the wide veranda after your bath, makes for an utterly luxurious and unforgettable experience.
