Beppu Spa City Oita, Japan, is a quiet port city located on the southern island of Kyushu, about just over three hundred kilometers south of HIroshima.
Surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges, Beppu is amongst one of the favourite vacation destinations for local Japanese, as Beppu boasts more than two thousand natural onsens (Japanese hot springs) in its surrounding area. There are more than a handful of large onsen bathhouses just within the central vicinity of the city. Lots of private establishments, such as Beppu Spa City Oita, Japan hostels and guesthouses even host their own private onsens.
Aside from relaxing in the soothing and peaceful onsens, Beppu also hosts several hot springs and geysers for viewing only. These are called the Hells of Beppu and there are eight of them tourists can visit. It's interesting how they all differ in colours, and one of them is even an active geyser that erupts every so often.

While some activities can be visited by taking public transportation, having personal transportation is the easiest way to travel to these attractions.
