Hitou Umenoyu Family Baths
A family-bath facility with 24 private rooms, each described as source-flowing and refilled between groups. All rooms have a gorge-facing window view, but not all are confirmed to be open-air; prices and session lengths vary by room, so check the specific option when booking.
Check before bathing
- Opening hours
- Oita Prefecture's current listing gives weekdays 12:00–21:00 and weekends/holidays 11:00–21:30; closed on the second and third Tuesdays. Admission starts at ¥2,000 on weekdays and ¥2,200 on weekends and holidays per room. Older facility pages differ on room numbering, base-session length and some prices; confirm the selected room and duration directly.
- Tattoo policy
- A tattoo policy was not found in the current facility or prefectural pages reviewed. Having a private room does not by itself confirm permission; check with the facility.
