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.
