Discover the Ancient Secret of Beppu: Yunohana from Myoban Onsen
In the heart of Beppu Onsen lies one of Japan’s most unique and historic hot spring areas—Myoban Onsen.
Unlike typical hot springs, Myoban Onsen is known for producing something rare and precious: Yunohana, natural mineral crystals formed through geothermal steam.
A Tradition Preserved for Centuries
For over 300 years, artisans in Myoban have used a traditional method inside straw-roofed huts called Yunohana-goya. By combining volcanic steam with natural clay, mineral crystals slowly form over time—creating one of the most unique natural bath ingredients in the world.
This technique is so rare that it has been designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan.
From Yunohana to Soap: A Daily Onsen Experience
Traditionally, Yunohana has been used as a natural bath ingredient, valued for its cleansing and skin-smoothing properties.
Beppu Yunohana Soap brings this tradition into your everyday life.
By blending these rare hot spring minerals into a gentle soap, it allows you to experience the essence of onsen culture—not only while bathing, but also through your daily skincare routine.
The soft lather cleanses the skin while leaving it feeling smooth, refreshed, and naturally balanced—just like stepping out of a hot spring.
