Latest Beppu hotel reviews
IreneMcKay Says: Beppu has two lovely beaches. It was October when we visited and although it was hot no-one was swimming when we were there. Both beaches had park areas with seats. They were lovely areas for a walk and for a picnic. The first beach's park had some interesting statues to....
IreneMcKay Says: This spa is located at the end of one of Beppu's beaches. You must take off your shoes at the entrance and place them in a locker costing 100yen. Then pay 500 yen for the spa. Women go off to the left, men to the right. You can place your clothes in a locker in the changing...
IreneMcKay Says: We decided to visit Beppu Tower. You buy your ticket from a machine on the ground floor. Admission is 200 yen. You then take the lift to floor 16 and hand your ticket to the woman there. There are great views from the tower over the harbour, beach and Beppu town. There are...
IreneMcKay Says: This hell is near Blood Pond Hell. It consists of a seating area where people wait to see a geyser that spouts into the air around every 20 minutes. The name Tatsumaki Jigoku means Waterspout Hell. The geyser spouts for around 5 minutes or soenabling everyone to take a...

IreneMcKay Says: On our second visit to Beppu we spent a few hours returning to Kannawa and the hells. This time we visited Shiraike Jigoku or White Pond Hell. Entry was 400 yen. White Pond Hell has a large milky blue pond with lots of steam. It is quite photogenic. There are small gardens...
IreneMcKay Says: Wandering around the streets of Kannawa was fun. You will see food being cooked by steam. There is a shrine on the hill which overlooks the crocodile hell from here you can see steam rising over the rooftops of Kannawa.
IreneMcKay Says: We took a bus from Beppu Station to Kannawa. Exit the station on the mountainside exit and take bus 2,7,5,41,43 and 9. It cost 320 yen. When you enter the bus take a ticket from the machine. This is your entry stop number. You need to look at the display board at the front...
aukahkay Says: The Beppu Ropeway on the Mt Tsurumi in the Aso-Kuju National Park, was completed in 1962 by the technology of Kinki Nippon Railway. It was the only ropeway in the world to link a vertical distance of 792 meters. The 101-person gondola takes about ten minutes to reach the...
aukahkay Says: The White Pond Hell is so called because the colourless water that naturally spouts from the ground mysteriously turns creamy white. The serene atmosphere of the traditional Japanese garden is sure to soothe the mind.
aukahkay Says: The Umi Jigoku is so called because it resembles the sea. This 200m deep cobalt-blue pond of boiling water emerged 1200 years ago after a volcanic eruption. You can boil eggs in the pool and eat them.

Various Fruit Shops: Big Fruit - Big Prices!

Pavlik_NL Says: Don't hang with your head above a hole in the ground to see what's in there, because 'what's in there might jump out'. Any second there can be a burst of boiling hot water go up in your face. (-; Most geysers have timetables near them so you can wait until the next fountain.
jorgblaser Says: Of course again the spa in Beppu. There is one just under the railway station and another one two roads under. You can even let you burry under warm sand. That is nice.i think for 1000 yen or so.(further details concerning spas are in kyoto page)
Pavlik_NL Says: Take the 'Jigoku-tour' or 'Hell's tour', that the Beppu-touristorganisation organised and which will bring you along all famous hot-springs of the town and their strange variety of colours. From blood-red to poisonous green. Blubbering grey mudponds and high jumping geysers....
