ABCs of Hot Spring: "Jimosen" & Beppu Lifestyle
Beppu is home to over 100 communal baths known as "Jimosenn," which are deeply integrated into the daily lives of the local people. Here, a unique hot spring culture breathes, woven together with a long history. We will reveal the secrets to fully enjoying these local baths while mastering their traditional rules with "Iki" (graceful etiquette). After the talk, we will introduce limited-edition goods that include an entry ticket to the historic "Takegawara Onsen." It is an experience that will add vibrant colors and depth to your typical hot spring journey.
■ What is "Onsen Culture Iroha"?
At KAI, a leading brand of hot spring ryocans across Japan, we offer "Onsen Culture Iroha"—a special program designed to help guests go beyond simply soaking in the water and truly immerse themselves in the unique regional hot spring cultures.
