Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Plan a thermal-pool visit at Umi Jigoku separately from a stroll in Beppu Park. Viewing a hot spring pool and bathing are different activities.

This guide covers places within Beppu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city describes jigokumushi in Kannawa as cooking ingredients with hot-spring steam. Check booking or admission arrangements and allergens in food, seasonings and shared equipment, and follow staff instructions.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
