Itinerary
Beppu Jigoku Meguri (Beppu Hell Tour) is one of the most famous sightseeing attractions in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, Japan. It consists of several unique hot springs, each with its own distinctive color, temperature, and natural features, such as boiling mud, steaming ponds, and vivid mineral deposits. Unlike regular hot springs for bathing, these “hells” are for viewing only, showcasing the raw power of Beppu’s geothermal activity. Each “hell,” including Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) and Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell), offers a different atmosphere and cultural background, giving visitors a fascinating glimpse into Japan’s volcanic nature.
Kannawa Onsen District is one of Beppu’s most atmospheric hot spring areas, known for its charming old streets filled with rising steam from countless onsen vents. The area is home to traditional bathhouses, ryokan inns, and small local eateries where visitors can enjoy Beppu’s famous “hell-steamed” cuisine (Jigoku Mushi). Strolling through Kannawa offers a glimpse into Beppu’s traditional onsen culture, where daily life and geothermal energy coexist in harmony.
The Kokonoe “Yume” Suspension Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge located in Kokonoe, Oita Prefecture. At 390 meters long and 173 meters high, it is the tallest pedestrian suspension bridge in Japan. The bridge offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valley, waterfalls, and natural scenery, making it a popular sightseeing destination from Beppu and nearby areas.

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.
