Tanoyu Onsen sits in Beppu, Oita — one of Japan's onsen capitals — with sodium-chloride water at 44°C. An indoor bath, outdoor rotenburo and sauna give it a classic regional bathing setup.
Insider tip — Beppu is Japan's second most geothermally active city — over 100 million liters of hot spring water per day erupt from 3,000+ sources, more steam vents per square kilometer than anywhere outside major volcanic calderas. The city's 8 'Jigoku' (Hells) range from blood-red iron-rich pools to cobalt-blue ultraviolet waters to exploding mud cauldrons. Tanoyu ('field spring') Onsen taps into this extraordinary underground system for a neighborhood soak amid Beppu's permanent steam-shrouded streets.
