Oyado of Yufu firefly

Japanese inn

😐 It was a good hot spring when I stayed before, so I revisited it for a day trip. Please note that it is only available before guest check-in. Although the time is limited, as described later, it is quite profitable to take a day trip bath at 500 yen for a bath that is characteristic of Yufuin. Sham...

Nozawaonsen Sotoyu Takinoyu Hot Spring

Onsen

👍👍 Beautiful emerald green ♡♡ Characteristic is the rare black Yuka ♨️ As soon as you take a bath, a large amount of Yuka floats up in the air.

玉椿旅館（国登録有形文化財）

👍 We were able to enjoy our meal in a very relaxed atmosphere. There was no sand in the shellfish soup, and the omelet had a ♨ mark on it, which was cute. It's not enough for those who want to eat a lot, but it was 1300 yen (excluding tax) with 5 side dishes and dessert.

Suginoi Palace

Resort hotel

👍👍 Amazing location and intriguingly affordable deal: ¥2,000 yen for an entire day of unlimited onsen and pool use. Both the pools and onsen have a beautiful view over Beppu due to their vantage point as well.
