Takegawara Onsen was built in 1879. The profound facade of the building has become the symbol of Beppu Onsens. At the time of construction, the roof was made from bamboo, which is where the name originated; “take”, which means bamboo, and the conjugated “gawara”, which means roof tiles.

Inconsistent with the gorgeous outside appearance, the entrance fee is an extraordinarily low 100 yen. In addition to that, it opens in the morning at 6:30 and closes at 22:00 in the evening, which is why it is loved so much by not only visitors but also by locals in the area.
