Souunkyou Onsen

Sleepy Souunkyou is a great destination for hikers. Spend the day in the trails of majestic Daisetsuzan National Park, then spend evenings soaking away the soreness in simple luxury. A simple youth hostel rounds out mainly resort-style lodging.

The view from the top of the ropeway is not to be missed.  Winter, spring, summer, or fall, it's spectacular.

Beppu Onsen

Sulfurous waters and lots of tradition make Beppu one of Kyuushuu's hottest onsen escapes. It's one of Japan's biggest hot spring resorts and has the whole gamut of onsen -- from simple to fancy -- yet still retains a quaint, onsen-town of olden days feel.
