We only did a day trip at JPY1200/pax for the onsen, did not stay at their ryokan. It is near bus stop but to note the timing of bus intervals as they are not frequent. Great onsen with magnificent view of Beppu Myoban Bridge. Unfortunately, ladies onsen was not on the first floor where the outdoor pools are on the day I was there (they will rotate between male and female baths). I have been to more beautiful and larger onsens in Japan before but Ebisuya gives the guests a relaxing feel especially the resting area at a corner of the lobby with resting chairs, smell of aromas, magnificent view of the bridge. There are some cute cat crops you can use to take souvenir photos too.

This was an extraordinary experience in itself! This is was a steam room like no other! It is really really hot so not for the faint hearted! The lady at the Onsen although could not speak well English we were able to understand each other. Man one side (left) women on the other side (right). Once in, it is the same rules as in a Japanese public bath, you wash yourself and then get dressed in a yukata (sort of casual home kimono) and then a lovely lady guides you to the steam room (picture attached) Wow! It is hot and very narrow, so you enter almost on your knees and lie down on a bed of grassy straw for 8 min. The lady has a timer so she will let you know when to get out but you can also leave earlier if you need to. But wow, when you are in it is a great feeling of calm and relaxation. This is a really local and very Japanese onsen. LOVED IT!

Visited here twice and it’s so enjoyable. A very transitional sand bath set in an very old Japanese style building. Can imagine that is very grand back in 30s. One point to raise out , the staff please remind the customers to close the door of the sand bath bathroom after they are leaving. People are naked inside the dressing room and if they left the door open, ppl can see thorough everything inside the bath house when they wandering or looking around !

There are a total of 7 onsens to visit, each one has its own unique features. 5 onsens are located near each other, within walking distance. Take the bus to go to the other two. They have a one day bus pass for your unlimited rides, and get the packaged entrance tickets to make it more economical.
