Myoban Onsen
Thatched-Roof "Yunohana" Huts – A Signature Feature of Beppu's Beloved Myoban Onsen
Nestled in Beppu’s scenic mountain foothills, Myoban Onsen is the highest-elevation onsen among Beppu's renowned eight hot spring districts. Its most iconic feature is the Yunohana Huts, traditional thatched-roof structures where natural bath salts, known as yunohana, have been produced for centuries by using the steam from the hot springs.
Visitors can indulge in two types of onsen here: milky white sulfur baths and mineral-rich mud baths, both highly regarded for their skin-smoothing properties.
The culinary delights unique to Myoban Onsen are another major attraction. Favorites like Jigoku Steamed Pudding and Jigoku Steamed Egg Sandwiches, prepared using steam from the hot springs, are popular with tourists. Be sure to enjoy these treats alongside your onsen experience.
The yunohana bath salts, known for their excellent warming and cleansing effects, are also available as souvenirs. Bring home a small package to transform your own bath into a Myoban Onsen experience!
