On an Asia cruise, you’ll be hard-pressed to find more hot springs than in Beppu, Japan, which has over 2,000 onsen in the area. Nestled between picturesque Beppu Bay and incredible volcanic mountains on the inland side, Beppu is famous for its eight “hells,” steamy hot springs that attract millions of visitors each year. This popular resort town for Japanese travelers has gained acclaim for its hiking opportunities at Mt. Aso, a local volcano, or Mount Jifu, both of which promise stunning, dramatic views of Beppu Bay.
During your Beppu cruise, take a cable car ride to Mount Tsurumi, or spend the afternoon scoping out local delicacies, like vegetables, pork buns, and meats steamed in nutrient-rich waters. You’ll find plenty to explore in this town, even if you spend most of your time in the Beppu cruise port or dipped in the restorative hot springs.
Please Note: While we don't currently sail to Beppu, you can still discover the beauty of the country on one of our Japan cruises. Browse our cruises to Japan below.
