Itinerary
Beppu Jigoku Meguri is one of Beppu’s most famous attractions, featuring several unique hot spring sites known as “hells.” Instead of bathing, visitors admire dramatic geothermal scenery such as steaming pools, bubbling mud, and vividly colored water. Each hell has its own character, making this tour a fun and memorable way to experience Beppu’s volcanic energy and hot spring culture.
Kannawa Onsen is a charming hot spring district in Beppu, known for its traditional atmosphere and constant clouds of steam rising from the town. Visitors can enjoy walking through narrow streets lined with inns, foot baths, and local eateries. The area is especially famous for jigoku-mushi, a cooking method that uses natural hot spring steam. It is a wonderful place to experience Beppu’s everyday onsen culture.
Yukemuri Observatory is one of the best places to enjoy Beppu’s iconic hot spring scenery. From this viewpoint, visitors can see countless clouds of steam rising from the Kannawa area, creating a landscape unique to this famous spa city. It is especially beautiful in the early morning or at dusk, when the steam drifts gently over the town. The observatory is ideal for photography and scenic appreciation.
Beppu Tower is a landmark observation tower in Beppu, offering sweeping views of the city, Beppu Bay, and the surrounding mountains. Its modern design contrasts beautifully with Beppu’s traditional hot spring atmosphere. From the observation deck, visitors can appreciate the city’s unique geography and enjoy excellent photo opportunities. It is a great stop for those who want a panoramic perspective of Beppu.

About Beppu
Beppu is a hot-spring city on Kyushu's east coast, with steaming spring pools called hells, sand baths and mountains rising behind the bay.
Beppu, in Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, sits between mountains and the sea, and plumes of steam rise from vents across the town. It has more hot-spring sources and a greater flow of hot water than any other place in Japan. The Hells of Beppu, a group of showpiece springs, include the blue Sea Hell, the blood-red Chinoike pond and bubbling mud pools, to be viewed rather than bathed in.
