Beppu

Beppu in Oita offers a unique experience unlike any other. After docking, take a short walk and marvel at the Beppu Bay Seaside Hot Springs, where steaming vents rise from the ground, a testament to the region's geothermal activity. Explore the nearby "Jigoku Meguri" (Hell Tour), a collection of eight hot springs, each with unique characteristics and colors. While shopping options near the port might be limited, venture into Beppu city for a taste of local culture. Browse Oita crafts at the Takegawara Hot Spring District or indulge in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony at a charming teahouse. Nightlife in Beppu is vibrant, with lively bars and restaurants offering delicious local dishes alongside refreshing beverages. If you prefer a relaxing evening, soak in the therapeutic waters of a nearby onsen (hot spring) and let your worries melt away under the calming Japanese sky.
