Workation in Beppu: the essentials
Steam rises from vents and drains all over Beppu, a city of about 113,000 on Beppu Bay in Oita Prefecture whose hot-spring output is the largest in Japan. Public bathhouses are part of everyday life here, and the boiling hells of Kannawa are the main tourist stop. Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University brings students from dozens of countries up the hill, and Mount Tsurumi rises directly behind the town. Oita Airport is about 30 km away across the bay. The centre looks dated in places, and nightlife stays modest.
