Visit Oita

Shichirida Onsen, located at the foot of the Kuju mountain range, offers a tranquil retreat where visitors can relax in its renowned, highly carbonated waters while taking in stunning natural views. The area is home to the Shichirida Onsenkan, a popular facility with two bathing options: Konohanoyu and Shitanyu.

Konohanoyu features spacious indoor baths and open-air rotenburo baths. The large windows in the indoor baths and the outdoor baths provide uninterrupted views of the breathtaking Kuju mountain range, enchanting visitors with its beauty. At night, the open-air baths offer the added charm of stargazing, creating an unforgettable bathing experience.

In contrast, Shitanyu specializes in high-carbonation onsen. These unique baths are infused with dissolved carbon dioxide gas, creating a soothing experience where bubbles adhere and cling to the skin, providing a gentle and invigorating sensation. This bath boasts over 460 years of history and is cherished for its natural, unaltered spring water. With an average water temperature of about 37°C, it’s best enjoyed during milder seasons to fully appreciate its warmth.
