Kannawa/Alum/Shibaishi onsen

Among the eight hot springs of Beppu, Kannawa Onsen has the most hot spring-like feel, and the copious amounts of steam rising from the hot springs create a landscape that truly symbolizes Beppu. In the Kamakura period, Ippen Shonin developed Arahigoku, which was called "Kuberi Yunoi". The store is crowded. In August 2006, the municipal Kannawa Mushiyu was reopened after renovations, and Kannawa's unique bathing inns for rent are still in good health, attracting visitors from afar. Visitors to Myoban Onsen will be entertained by the white plumes of smoke that rise from the Yunohana-goya hut in Warabuki. During the Edo period, it became the number one place to collect alumban in terms of quantity and quantity, and along with the prosperity of the collection business, it developed as a hot spring resort. Today, along with the local specialty "Yunohana", the hot spring water is also famous. Furthermore, on the Oita Expressway, the largest arch in the Orient, the Beppu Myoban Bridge, was born and has become a new specialty of Myoban Onsen. Shibaishi Onsen has a long history, and is said to have been used by Emperor Daigo in 895 and by Emperor Go-Reizei in 1044 to treat illnesses. The name comes from the discovery of a "fossil of Shiba" in the Edo period. In April 1997, it opened with a new appearance as a contact and relaxation hot spring resort. Both men and women can enjoy two indoor baths with different temperatures, an open-air bath, and a steam bath at a low price. A new family bath has also been added. It is a hot spring area blessed with a rich natural environment where you can hear the murmuring of the Shibaishi River and the chirping of small birds.
