For the ultimate Beppu experience, we recommend enjoying a local onsen before boarding. The combination of hot springs, fresh sea air, and peaceful ocean views creates a deeply refreshing and memorable experience. As an optional add-on, guests can enjoy live handpan, ukulele, or guitar music onboard.
