About Beppu

Beppu is Japan's hot spring capital, producing more spring water than any other resort in the country. Famous for its 'Hells' (Jigoku)—spectacular hot springs for viewing rather than bathing—it offers a unique steamy landscape. Visitors can enjoy sand baths, steam baths, and traditional mud baths in this geothermal wonderland.
