Tsuru no Yu is a hidden gem nestled near Tsurumi Cemetery in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, offering a unique and rustic hot spring experience. This 24-hour, year-round outdoor onsen features naturally sourced, slightly cloudy sulfurous waters reputed for their therapeutic benefits. Accessible via Route 500 towards Myoban Onsen, followed by a walk from the "Myoban Clinic" bus stop, this secluded spot provides an authentic escape into nature. The stone-built tubs and sulfur scent create a serene atmosphere. Be aware that it is a mixed-gender bath, and caution is advised for solo female visitors at night due to past incidents. Enjoy the simple changing area and the stunning views while soaking in the hot spring.
