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...
