Sujiyu Onsen in Kokonoe, Oita Prefecture, is renowned for its unique 'utaseyu' (waterfall bath) experience, where hot spring water cascades from 18 pipes, providing a therapeutic massage for shoulders and back. Historically a popular destination for those seeking healing, it continues to attract visitors looking to escape the city. The communal bathhouses offer an authentic experience, and the local specialty, 'Gokuraku Ondori' (steamed chicken), cooked using steam from the Komatsu Jigoku hot springs, is a must-try. Located a 45-minute bus ride from Bungo-nakamura Station or a 40-minute drive from the Kokonoe Interchange, Sujiyu Onsen offers a tranquil retreat. Consider visiting during the day to fully enjoy the serene atmosphere and the surrounding natural beauty.
