I had such a wonderful week exploring the beautiful island of Kyushu, the southwestern-most island of Japan. The first city we visited on our group tour was the popular onsen island of Beppu, located on the northeast coast of the island in the Oita Prefecture. We spent most of our time in the city soaking and enjoying the mineral-laden steam that rises from its grounds — from the natural wonders to the baths, and even in its food! Here’s my vlog on the two days I spent in Beppu. It’s the first part of a five-part vlog series on my Kyushu exploration with Parlo Tours. Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to subscribe for updates on the rest of the series!
