Horita Onsen

Hot Spring / Hot Spring Bath
A hot spring district which once flourished as a key transportation point between Yufuin, Hita, and Dazaifu. Positioned at the west entranceway to Beppu, since the Edo period the area prospered as a health resort, its hot spring waters soothing away the fatigue of travelers. The area's simple hot springs are said to ease nerve pain, bruises, and autonomic instability. The municipal public hot spring bathhouse opened here in 2003 has an indoor bathing area as well as an outdoor bath surrounded by artfully placed plants and rocks. This is also the first city-run bathhouse to have toilets which can accommodate ostomates, making the facilities easier to use for senior citizens and those with disabilities. The bathhouse also employs universal design principles and has handrails and ramps in the changing areas and tubs.
