Top Attractions in Beppu
💡 Bring your own towel for the footbath — none provided. Best in late March for cherry blossoms, though peaceful year-round.
💡 Head to the rose garden at the south end — it's less busy and has benches to sit and read.
💡 You can watch artisans at work on weekdays. Hands-on classes cost about ¥1,000 but need booking a day ahead.
💡 The free exhibition area upstairs has the best pieces — skip the shop if you're on a budget.
💡 Best free viewpoint is at the back of the car park, looking east over Beppu Bay at sunset.
💡 Visit just before sunset to see the town lit up and the steam rising. The small café at the base sells decent coffee for ¥200.
💡 This is a working public bath, not a luxury spa. Expect basic facilities and strong sulphur smell. Sand baths here are separate and cost extra.
💡 Go early morning (before 8 AM) to avoid crowds and get the cleanest water in the foot bath.
