The city was founded on April 1, 1924 and is famous for its hot springs, which are regarded as sacred. There are 7 of these, referred to as the 7 hells of Beppu. Beppu is considered a tourist town by the Japanese and is rather picturesque. Like much of Japan, Beppu is is sandwitched between the sea and the mountains. These additions are from memory based on a business trip during the late 1990's. BTW, where is the spellcheck?
