Beppu Hell Tour (Jigoku Meguri)
Into a Beppu morning
wrapped in steam.
Beppu’s most popular attraction takes you around distinctive hot spring vents such as Umi Jigoku and Chinoike Jigoku. Vividly colored waters and rising steam create a dreamlike scene that feels like another world. Feel the energy of the earth while enjoying the hot spring culture and atmosphere unique to Beppu.
Tasting Oita’s bounty
in the rising steam.
“Jigoku-mushi,” steaming ingredients over hot spring vapor, is a signature Beppu experience. It draws out the savor of vegetables, seafood and meat simply, letting you enjoy each ingredient at its best. Take a leisurely lunch amid the steam-wreathed streets of Kannawa.

Walk the back streets
and meet the spirit of a hot spring town.
The Kannawa area keeps its stone-paved lanes, rising steam and old buildings. Strolling here, stopping at footbaths and small cafes, brings you to a side of Beppu that sightseeing alone cannot reach. Walk slowly and the scenery particular to a hot spring town opens up.

MORNING
A town wrapped in morning light and drifting steam.
Stroll through Beppu as it slowly awakens,
and discover a side of the city that feels a little different from yesterday.

SHONIN PARK Sand Bath
Healing hours
wrapped in morning stillness.
A sand bath you can enjoy while taking in the calm seaside air. Letting yourself sink into the warm sand loosens both body and mind. In the quiet of morning you can experience a form of relaxation unique to Beppu.
An Oita morning
that starts slowly.
Wake a little early and greet a calm morning at a Beppu cafe or breakfast spot. Catching the face of the town and the quiet air that only mornings hold — things a rushed tour of sights would miss — is one of the pleasures of a trip with an overnight stay.
Over breakfast made with local ingredients and carefully brewed coffee, spend the time however you like. Slow-flowing morning hours make a stay in Oita richer and more special.
