The Mud Onsen in Beppu

During my trip to Beppu last 2008 with N, we accidentally found this Mud(Doro) Onsen as we were walking down the street.  Actually N and I were a little lost and the bus were not arriving so we just started walking. This is the reason why I don’t make itineraries when I travel, getting lost is part of the fun 🙂

Anyway I digress. Pictures were not allowed inside and N and I were excited to check the Onsen that we totally forgot to get a picture of anything.  I finally found their website and name ( after all this years).

Onsen Name : 明礬温泉保養ランド : Myouban Onsen Hoyo Land. 

I also found some picture on OnsenJapan website.

Price: 1050 yen for adults and 750 for kids.

It is still one of the most unforgettable onsen experience I have so far. I highly recommend it if you are in the area.

Hotel Review : Khaosan Beppu

Khaosan Beppu is more of a guesthouse than your average hotel.

N and I stayed there during our trip to Beppu around 2008.  The place is about 8-10 minutes walk from JR Beppu Station, very convenient. It has it’s own Onsen(Spa) which is free, kitchen and free use of the internet. During our stay there were no Wi-Fi yet.

I think N and I booked Basic Twin Private room for the night. The room has a double deck bed, and futon set but N and I decided to sleep in the floor instead since nobody wants to be on the top bed :p, it has tatami floor so no problem.

Convenient, affordable and clean.
