Things to do in Beppu
Beppu is a city full of little surprises. Steam curls up from the sidewalks, mineral waters bubble beneath the surface and traditional ryokans peek out from forested hillsides. Although some may think of it as a simple hot spring town, it’s really a place where nature and ritual come together in unexpectedly beautiful ways.
A Beppu cruise invites you to settle into the moment. Wander among the geothermal pools that look otherworldly or soak in an open-air bath with views of the mountains. Then, head inland to find carved Buddhas, sacred shrines and a village where wild monkeys run the show. Beppu wears its quirks proudly, inviting you to do the same.
