Hi,
I would like to spend one week next august in an Onsen in Kyushu
I've heard about Beppu, do you know some place to stay there ?
could you advise me the simplest place to stay ?
Do you think I can exchange my parisian flat during this week with japanese ?
Gosh, I need help !
Thank you

Salut
J'aimerais passer une semaine dans un Onsen à Kyushu. J'ai entendu parler de Beppu, vous connaissez des endroits pour rester là-bas ?
pourriez-vous me conseiller le plus simple des onsen pour passer du temps ?
Pensez-vous que je puisse échanger mon 2pièces parisien durant cette semaine avec des japonais ,
Yoooo, J'ai besoin d'aide
Merci
Flo

I visited several nice onsen in Beppu :

Hoyoland (保養ランド) - http://www.secret-japan.com/onsen/show.php?&selcode=106

A really interesting onsen, which is more of a mud bath! You really have 20 cm of mud at the bottom of the huge baths found there... Mixed outside baths and nice old inside baths.


Kaihin Sunaba (海浜砂湯) - http://www.secret-japan.com/onsen/show.php?&selcode=107

A specialty of Beppu: sand bath with a view on the sea. Again, well-worth a visit if you are there!


Nabeyama no Yu (鍋山の湯) - http://www.secret-japan.com/onsen/show.php?&selcode=108

Looking for a wild onsen? This one is really small - so not that great - but you have to take a bus and then hike a little to find it! Print a map to have a chance to locate the bath!! Unlike the others, this one is free. There is another one nearby... but I could not find it.



For exchanging your flat while in Beppu, I am sure that some Japanese would be interested. But I have no idea how to find someone for that, sorry...
