I came to Beppu with a friend for a one day trip and visited Wander compass. As I had already been here for the famous Jigoku, Onsen and steamed food (that i recommend), we decided to rent the shop bicycles and opted for a ride along the beach, after visiting the local park to see the Plum trees and bamboo. We finished the day with a more local experience in the oldest onsen for Ashiyu and Sand bath! (Try the mud or sand bath while in town). We had a great time spending the day with the staff member (Chika). They will guide you through all the common and less common spots and activities in town depending on what you’re looking for! The shop is located at the station so i recommend you to pay a visit if you are in town :)

Came here to look for dinner and was pleasantly surprised with the mall’s offering. 1. Free car park This is a bonus in Japan especially if you have paid parking in some cities like Kanazawa. 2. Restaurants We ate at a nice Japanese diner that serves Yuri Pork on rice, it was delectable. Ordered nabe with udon, that was delicious. We finished every morsel of food. Next day, we came back for lunch at the shabu shabu restaurant. It was reasonably priced, fresh cut meat, plenty of vegetables and price is inclusive of hot tea. Highly recommended if you are a fan of shabu shabu. 3. Children’s tidbits galore There’s one level of the mall dedicated to children. There’s one shop that sells all sorts of tidbits and toys, must visit. 4. Basement supermarket The local food aisle on Japanese rice crackers are full of choices. Prices are reasonable. I like to buy Japanese drip coffee, there’s plenty to choose from and the prices are half of what is sold outside Japan and maybe some brands are not sold outside. Definitely recommend if you would like to enjoy some indoor time and relax while shopping for local goodies.

This is just outside the Beppu railway station and is a lovely statue to a man clearly loved by the community. Makes your heart swell.
