Jigoku Onsen Museum

Have fun learning about onsen at this academic entertainment facility!

With the theme "Discovering a deeper love for onsen," this interactive facility lets you explore the wonders of Beppu Kannawa Onsen in an engaging way. Visitors take on the role of a "raindrop" and journey through four experiential zones, retracing the approximately 50-year process that raindrops go through as they become water in an onsen. Through projection mapping, a stamp rally, and theater presentations, you can immerse yourself in the mysteries of nature. By learning about the origins of onsen, you'll find yourself captivated and filled with a newfound appreciation for these natural marvels. The facility also features a café and a courtyard with steam vents, offering a relaxing space to unwind during your visit.
