Myoban Yunosato

Myoban Yunosato (みょうばん湯の里) is nestled on the scenic slopes of the Myoban district, just above Beppu city, offering visitors a tranquil retreat surrounded by nature. Famous for its cloudy, sulfur-rich waters, this onsen features both indoor and outdoor baths, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing soak. While the outdoor tubs are mostly enclosed by wooden fences, the serene atmosphere and natural steam from the hot springs create an incredibly peaceful experience for those seeking rest and rejuvenation in a picturesque environment.

In addition to its therapeutic baths, Myoban Yunosato offers a glimpse into local culture with its charming thatched huts, where traditional yunohana (sulfur powder) is still made by hand. This cultural experience provides a rare and fascinating opportunity for visitors to learn about the ancient practice of sulfur production. Small shops throughout the area sell local bath products and souvenirs, adding a unique touch to the experience. Myoban Yunosato offers the perfect combination of relaxation, cultural immersion, and local craftsmanship, making it an ideal stop for those looking to unwind and explore Beppu’s heritage.
