Quick Impression
Located within a large commercial complex alongside restaurants and electronics stores, Yamanami-no-Yu is easy to find and very accessible. The huge parking area with 700 spaces ensures there’s always room—even during busy hours. There’s a dedicated motorcycle parking area right in front of the entrance (though I missed it and parked elsewhere… oops).
The weekday admission is just ¥580, which is incredibly affordable for an onsen facility in Beppu. With access to 3 types of saunas as well, this spot offers exceptional value and comfort. I highly recommend stopping by during your Kyushu touring adventure—it’s perfect for a relaxing break.
