The city
Beppu is the hot-spring city on Beppu Bay in Oita, where steam rises from streets and slopes. It has hundreds of baths, the Kannawa and Shibaseki hells—which are visited as scenery—the hot sand bath at Takegawara and Myoban’s yunohana huts. Mount Tsurumi, with a ropeway, rises behind the town.
