One of Japan’s hidden treasures for travel is the small city of Beppu which is located on the island of Kyushu.
Although rarely mentioned, Beppu is well known for it’s hot springs which are both beautiful to see and great to experience. The hot springs are nick named Hells of Beppu and is one of three great hot springs located in Japan.
Beppu is considered to be a relatively small city and is actually on the coast of the island. It is surrounded by mountains and it’s location makes the city long and relatively thin in shape. Due to the small size of the city, you can actually explore the place by just walking. To get to the hot springs however, you should probably take a bus or taxi.
The most popular site is called the eight hells (or Jigoku in japanese). This is a multi-colour volcano pit with boiling mud and water.
There are a good selection of hotels available in the city centre, although not that many. For a good deal on a hotel, check out Booking.com. Find a 10% off Booking.com coupon here and you will get a good deal on accommodation.
