Japan Sky terrace at Amanda Beppu Yula-Re Hotel

The city Beppu is one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, producing more hot spring water than any other city in the country. It is the right place for relaxing, calming for mind and soul.

You should go in one of the famous Onsen here. Just inform yourself before, where tattoos are prohibited.

Go early in the morning on top of the hotels when the natural light is not so bright. With a bit of luck the wind is coming from the coast and blows the smoke of the hot springs way much more up in the sky than normal. This creates a mystical atmosphere in the whole city.

You can friendly ask at the reception from the hotel if you are allowed to take pictures from the roof before the first hotel guests are going into the roof top pools. A lot of other hotels have roof top sky terraces as well! I would recommend to look for those hotels in advance.

For Kyushu it is worth it to rent a car. You are way much more flexible than with the trains.

The parking lot from the hotel is directly in front of the building. Everywhere in the city centre you have good parking possibilities.
