About Beppu: Beppu is a city in Ōita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, at the west end of Beppu Bay. For a country that loves hot springs and bathing as much as Japan does, the city of Beppu is a hallowed vacation destination. From the bubbling 'hells' (jigoku) of boiling hot water to the more tame hot springs for bathing (onsen), Beppu is filled with geothermal activity, as well as a plethora of hotels, restaurants and guesthouses.
