A walking tour in Beppu?!
Beppu's charm is not just about hot springs and hell tours
The view from the Yukemuri Observatory
Beppu has long been a thriving tourist destination. Its popularity has not stopped, and in recent years, not only domestic customers but also many foreign tourists have been seen. When you hear "Beppu," the first thing that comes to mind is probably hot springs. Also, the "Hell Tour," which takes advantage of the fact that the area has long been a place where hot water and steam have been spewing out, continues to attract many tourists as a major tourist attraction in Beppu.
However, that's not all that Beppu has to offer! Going to hot springs, watching the steam, eating delicious food... that's enough to make a wonderful trip, but if you want something even more exciting, we recommend the Minami Beppu Area Walking Tour!
What is the Minami Beppu area?
A place where you can experience the "everyday life" of Beppu
Minami Area MAP
The Minami Beppu area is located about a 10-minute walk from Beppu Station, stretching from Akiba Street to Nagaishi Street.

Of course, there is also a Jimo-sen (public hot spring) that is unique to Beppu! Why not explore the new charms of Beppu?
