The most famous attractions are the “Jigoku Meguri” (Hells Tour), a collection of
spectacular hot springs where water bubbles up from underground in unique and
unusual ways. Five of the hells are located in the Kannawa district, about 4 km
northwest of Beppu Station, while the remaining two are in the more remote
Shibaseki district.

Have you ever tried a foot bath? Known as “ashiyu”
in Japanese, these are public hot springs where you
can soak your feet to relax. In Beppu, you can easily
find ashiyu spots throughout the Kannawa area,
conveniently located near the “Hells” tour sites.

Beppu’s popular public baths offer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy various types of onsen experiences, including the unique and famous sand bath. |

Known for its 200-year history of alum production, Myoban Onsen is a unique geothermal area located 400 meters above sea level on the slopes of Mount Garan. Although it is tucked away from the bustling center of Beppu, its iconic traditional “Yunohana” huts make it a must-visit destination. |
Jigoku Mushi kobo
 |
Jigoku Mushi, literally “hell-steaming,” is a unique cooking method found in Beppu. Fresh ingredients such as vegetables, seafood, and meat are cooked using natural volcanic steam from the hot springs. You can even try using the steam cookers yourself to cook your favorite foods. |

Soaring 1,375 meters into the sky, Mount Tsurumi is a breathtaking mountain overlooking Beppu that offers scenic hiking trails, rare flora, and outstanding vistas. Visitors can take a ropeway 800 meters up the mountainside and revel in being surrounded by acres of rolling greenery. |
