Our guide
Beppu Onsen is the vast hot-spring system of the city of Beppu, Ōita, made up of eight main thermal zones known as the Beppu Hattō. Its output is huge: according to the city, more than 130,000 tonnes of hot water come out of the ground every day, the largest amount in Japan and the second-largest in the world after Yellowstone. A 2004 Ministry of the Environment survey counted 2,909 hot-spring vents in the city — more than a tenth of Japan's 27,644.
Beppu Station on the Nippō Main Line is about 100 m from the point this page is mapped to. Beppu Tower & Kitahama is about 600 m away and Beppu Jigoku Meguri about 4.9 km. We have not checked individual baths or inns.
