When you arrive, you first have to buy a ticket from the machine. It costs 300 yen for an adult. If you don't being your own towl, shampoo, conditioner, etc. you'll need to purchase them from the machine like I did. The bath area was very clean and well kept. If I ever visit Beppu again, I will definitely go to this...

I did like this hot springs the most! There was 4 type of bath you can go in, and cost 300 yen. Hot and regular bath, rotten, steam bath. I really enjoyed all of the bath, I wish I could stay longer.

After I visit chijigoku and tastumaki jigoku, I walked up the road for 10-15 mins to get there. Apparently, in between 14:00 to 15:00 is closed for cleaning. I was told by local. After 15:00 was busy.

There was a locker for 100 yen. You’ll need to bring your own towel...
