Shibaseki Onsen

A Famous and Highly Therapeutic Onsen Along a Serene Mountain Stream

Located on the outskirts of Beppu City, Shibaseki Onsen is one of the smaller yet highly esteemed onsen areas within the Beppu Hatto. This historic hot spring is said to have been visited by an ancient emperor seeking therapeutic treatment for an illness. Designated as a National Health Resort, Shibaseki Onsen is renowned for its restorative effects, offering a soothing retreat for both body and mind.

At the city-run Shibaseki Onsen facility, visitors can enjoy a variety of bathing options, including two indoor baths with different temperatures (hot and lukewarm), an open-air bath, and a unique "steam bath" that warms the body deeply. Adding to its charm, Shibaseki Onsen also features a distinctive bath located within a temple’s grounds, where guests must make a small offering before bathing – a unique experience that blends relaxation with a touch of tradition. Relax in the comforting waters and immerse yourself in the rich history and tranquility of Shibaseki Onsen.
