Beppu is a resort town on the northeastern coast of Kyushu, Japan's southernmost main island. Nicknamed "Hot Spring Capital of Japan", Beppu is famous for its geothermal activity and abundance of natural hot springs, or onsens. These vary in temperature and mineral content, offering a unique bathing experience for every visitor. Beyond the onsens, Beppu boasts beautiful natural scenery, including volcanic landscapes and steam vents known as "hells". While relaxing in the hot springs is a must-do, Beppu also offers delicious local cuisine, including steamed dishes cooked with geothermal heat and fresh seafood.
Reaching Beppu is convenient. The town has its own train station, JR Beppu Station, which is connected to Fukuoka and other major cities by bullet train. Alternatively, you can fly into Oita Airport, a short distance away, and take a bus or taxi to Beppu. The weather in Beppu is subtropical, with mild winters and hot, humid summers. Spring and autumn are generally considered the best times to visit, offering comfortable temperatures for exploring the town and enjoying the outdoors.

Yufuin, nestled in a picturesque valley at the foot of Mount Yufu in Oita Prefecture, Japan, offers a delightful blend of natural beauty and cultural charm. Sitting at an elevation of 400 meters, the town boasts lush greenery, paddy fields, and a serene lake with flowing rivers. Towering over this tranquil scene is Mount Yufu, a majestic twin-peaked volcano that can be conquered in a scenic 90-minute hike. While the rhythmic ringing of temple bells adds to the peaceful atmosphere, Yufuin also caters to tourists with upscale ryokan and a vibrant selection of gift shops.&nbsp;
Famous for its natural hot springs (onsen), the town offers a variety of options, with some open for day visits and others reserved for overnight guests. Public bathhouses (sento) are also available, with one welcoming tourists for a truly local experience. Despite its tourist appeal, Yufuin retains its rural roots, offering a glimpse into Japanese culture. This unique blend, along with its growing popularity among international visitors, particularly Koreans, makes Yufuin a captivating destination for a relaxing and culturally enriching escape.&nbsp;
