🏨Okamotoya Ryokan（別府温泉 岡本屋）| Tsurumi, Beppu City
Facilities, Dining & Access
A brief guide to hot springs, dining, and travel directions.
Facilities🎌・Hot Springs♨️
Our inn was founded in 1875 and is one of the oldest ryokan in Myoban Onsen, a tranquil mountain hot spring area within Beppu City. In 2025, we celebrated our 150th anniversary. All guest rooms face the sea, with views over Beppu’s cityscape framed by Myoban Bridge and Beppu Bay. Our hot spring is a very rare acidic sulfur spring. With its distinctive sulfur scent, the milky blue water—often compared to celadon—heals both body and mind. Naturally, it is 100% free-flowing from the source. Myoban Onsen’s water is a hydrogen sulfide spring with strong acidity (pH 3 or below), long known for its efficacy in skin diseases, neuralgia, diabetes, and more.
Rare Acidic Sulfur Spring (Milky Celadon Blue)
A distinctive, strongly acidic hydrogen sulfide spring (pH 3 or below), 100% free-flowing from the source—renowned for its milky blue, celadon-like color and sulfur aroma.
Myoban “Yunohana” Tradition (Edo-Period Method)
Yunohana contains the beneficial components of Myoban Hot Springs. Its production method—unchanged since the Edo period—is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan. “Myoban Yunohana” is produced exclusively in the Myoban district of Beppu City.
View: All guest rooms face the sea, overlooking Beppu Bay and the cityscape.
Dining🍣
Seasonal kaiseki cuisine showcasing the bounty of Bungo’s seas and mountains. We meticulously prepare hell-steamed dishes and local flavors. Enjoy Okamotoya Shop’s famous hell-steamed pudding. Fish nurtured by the swift currents of the Bungo Channel boast firm flesh, clear umami, and refined richness—among Oita’s finest marine treasures. A diverse array of fish is landed here, including Seki horse mackerel, Seki mackerel, grunt, yellowtail amberjack, and yellowtail. At Okamotoya, we incorporate locally sourced fresh fish into our various kaiseki meals, delivering the unique deliciousness of each season.
