Beppu Port was once filled with lively music especially at night, where visitors gathered to treat their ailments by soaking in the city’s hot spring waters—a practice known as toji. Inspired by this history, KAI Beppu presents the “”Toji Jug Band,”” a cultural discovery session of abundant hot springs and musical sounds created by wooden pails, bringing the lively ambiance of the hot spring town into the ryokan.
＊Every KAI establishment offers a selection of free activities designed to introduce guests to Japan’s regional cultures.
