Yukemuri no Sato Azumaya is a truly atmospheric onsen experience in Beppu. Located about a 15-minute drive from JR Beppu Station, this peaceful retreat is named after the gentle steam, "yukemuri" that rises from Beppu’s natural hot springs. And at night, the property becomes even more magical as the steam is illuminated with soft, colorful lights, creating a dreamlike landscape you won’t find anywhere else.
Azumaya functions both as a hotel and as a drop-in onsen, making it perfect whether you’re planning an overnight stay or just looking to unwind for a few hours. One of its biggest highlights is that every guest room comes with a private bath, an ideal option for those who prefer to soak in complete privacy or simply want a peaceful escape.
For guests who want to experience a more traditional setting, the open-air baths are a must-visit. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of Beppu, breathtaking no matter the time of day. Eggs boiled in the onsen water are also available for you to experience!
The entire property feels deeply and authentically Japanese, from the carefully prepared meals to the serene wooden interiors and the quiet, calming atmosphere. Whether you’re a first-time visitor to Beppu or a returning onsen lover, Yukemuri no Sato Azumaya offers a warm, intimate, and uniquely local experience that captures the essence of Japan’s hot spring culture.
