Beppu is a famous onsen (hot spring) town located in Oita Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan's southern island.
The town offers eight different hot spring areas, all varying in chemical properties. Apart from some major modern hot spring resorts, you also have the opportunity to soak in the waters of Takegawara hot spring, a traditional public bath house that was first opened in 1879 featuring hot spring bath and a sand sauna.
