[2026 Edition] 10 Onsen Glamping Stays in Kyushu: A Campfire After the Bath
Kyushu, famed for the sheer number of its hot-spring towns, is a region where you can choose your glamping by one criterion: “with onsen.” In celebrated spa areas like Aso, Beppu, and Kirishima, dome tents with in-room onsen and free-flowing (kakenagashi) open-air baths are on the rise. This article introduces 10 glamping resorts in Kyushu where you can enjoy hot springs, focusing on places where a campfire and BBQ await after the bath.

Tips for choosing
- Check the onsen style. Some properties have in-room open-air baths (Foresta Aso, Koshikano Onsen, Wena Village, GRANXIA, and others); at others you share a communal or family bath. Choose by whether you want to bathe in your room whenever you like, or soak in a spacious tub.
- Mind the pricing unit. Many glamping resorts list per-person rates, which compare differently from per-villa properties. Most rates include meals.
- Choose by the food. Akaushi beef, kurobuta pork, Bungo beef, jigoku-mushi: in Kyushu, each region’s ingredients shape the dinner BBQ. Check the plans on each property’s official website.
- Book via the official website. TOMARIBI provides links to each property’s official website and official booking pages.
