Hells of Beppu(Jigokumeguri)
Hot springs – or onsen as they are known in Japan – are central to Japanese culture, and Beppu has more of them than any other place on Earth. So naturally, a visit to at least one onsen is practically mandatory here. But once you’ve immersed yourself in hot spring culture, there is still plenty more to explore. Whether you take in the majestic sea views, learn about the history of crafts in the area or just soak up the atmosphere of the city’s historic neighbourhoods, there is always something new in Beppu.
Beppu’s hot spring (onsen) gush volume is the second largest in the world, just after the Yellow Stone National Park in the United States. Thus, it makes Beppu become a popular onsen destination for domestic and international travelers.
As well as the hot springs, which are the main attraction, you can also spend time luxuriating in traditional bath houses here called onsen, or you can also hike into the surrounding area as Beppu is encircled by mountains while also lining the coast. This means that you can also go to the beach here when you visit, making Beppu an all round travel destination that has a lot going for it.
