Hyotan Onsen

Nice private onsen, 3000¥ or 30AUD for an hour in the pool. The pool is empty when you arrive and you put a coin in the vending machine to make the hot water flow! The little steam room is also very cute. There is a free public foot bath outside. We also ate lunch before we went. I got a butter chicken curry for 1400¥.

Amazing onsen experience – a must-visit in Beppu! Hyotan Onsen is one of the best hot spring experiences I’ve had in Beppu. The place is clean, well-maintained, and offers a wide variety of baths including sand baths, steam rooms, and open-air rotenburo. The water quality is excellent and you can really feel the minerals working on your skin. I wanted to go for the private baths—But it's fully booking it's recommend to book the private onsen in advance. There’s even a place to enjoy steamed food cooked with onsen heat, which was delicious. It’s easy to access and very welcoming for both locals and tourists. Don’t miss it if you’re visiting Beppu :)

Came here after read many review. It really live up to its standard at a reasonable price. Worth and a must visit onsen choice for anyone looking for good onsen experience. Like to specially thanks the pudding ice cream store (饮泉堂）is that while i only have credit card at time making payments and their system/server down unable to process payment. They given me the ice cream free of charge. Its not about money but its show that they does prioritise services too. Thanks and keep it up.

We came here while on a visit to the Hells of Beppu. We had wanted one of the outdoor private onsens, but it was still raining heavily. So we booked an hour in one of the indoor ones. The place was okay, but there was mold along the top of the room. The water was warm enough. However, the experience paled compared to the ryokan onsen experience we had the day before in Yifuin. Also, your hour starts immediately after you hand your payment over, including the time you need to take to walk to the next building in the pouring rain. They need to streamline the process. When you enter the reception area, you need to take off your shoes to walk a few metres to the desk. After collecting your key, you then have to put your footwear back on to go to the room. The same process is repeated when you return the key. Perhaps they should have a rubber pad for customers to walk to the desk and back to the entrance without taking off shoes.

A good experience with many bathing options. You can also book a private bath where you are charged hourly. Be sure to book in advance if you are after the private baths.

We booked a private family bath, which was spacious and clean. The cost was 3,600 yen for 90 minutes.

Beautiful onsen that you MUST visit. We booked a private onsen a week before by calling. We did a sand bath before hand and fell asleep because it was so relaxing. I wish I could do it everyday. The outdoor private onsen was so cute and just like the photos. It's well worth going to so don't skip!
