The central shopping streets, with restaurants and local specialities.
Beppu sits at the head of Beppu Bay on the east coast of Kyushu, a hot spring town where plumes of steam rise from rooftops and hillsides. It is among Japan's best-known hot spring resorts, with a very large volume of hot spring water.
The best-known sight is the Jigoku, or hells: seven striking hot springs in the Kannawa and Shibaseki areas, including the blood-red Chinoike Jigoku and a geyser that erupts every 30 to 40 minutes. Seeing them all takes about three hours.
In Kannawa's old streets you can try jigoku-mushi, food steamed over the vents, soak your feet in a footbath or simply take a bath.
