Beppu Myoban Hotspring
The sulfur hot springs of Myoban Onsen, set in the hills north of Beppu, have drawn visitors for centuries. Today, the onsen’s relatively quiet atmosphere makes it a good escape from the crowds and flashiness of its better-known neighbor.
Scattered around Myoban you’ll see low, thatched buildings. These huts are used in the production of yunohana, sulfur “flowers” or crystals that develop naturally on the ground around the springs. The collection and processing of yunohana has remained largely unchanged since the Edo period, and the method is a recognized National Important Intangible Folklore Asset. The crystals are the main component of bath salts sold in Myoban, a popular souvenir that is said to help heal skin conditions.
