Interior

Kannawa Mushi-yu is a mushi-yu — a steam bath rather than a soaking bath — traced to the priest Ippen in the thirteenth century. Bathers lie in a low stone chamber on a bed of sekishobu sweet flag, steamed by geothermal vapour rising directly from the ground beneath Beppu's Kannawa district.
