Beppu Onsen

♨️ Hot Springs · 別府市, 大分県

Beppu Onsen is one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, located in Oita Prefecture on Kyushu Island, known for producing more hot spring water than anywhere else in the country. The city features eight distinct onsen areas and the spectacular 'Hells of Beppu' (Jigoku Meguri) - a collection of vibrant, steaming hot springs in vivid colors from cobalt blue to blood red that are meant for viewing rather than bathing. Visitors can experience everything from traditional communal baths and sand baths to mud baths and steam baths, making it a must-visit destination for any onsen enthusiast.

💡 Tips for Visitors

Many public bathhouses are cash-only, so carry yen. Most onsens require bathing completely nude, and tattoos may be prohibited at some facilities - check in advance or look for tattoo-friendly establishments. The Jigoku Meguri combination ticket offers good value for visiting multiple hells, and renting a bicycle is an excellent way to explore the various onsen districts at your own pace.
