I traveled to Oita (Beppu) for 3 days and 2 nights as a woman alone.
Please refer to this article for a summary of my experience from such a solo trip, which includes the following two points.
1) Summary of what kind of trip it was
2) Summary of what articles are presented in this trip
Trip Summary
![別府温泉鉄輪](https://tekiwanatainworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_20210929_063040.jpg)
Oita is one of the most famous hot springs in Japan, Beppu Onsen.
I decided immediately to take a trip to Beppu Onsen.
I quickly decided on a 3-days/2-nights trip with unlimited access to hot springs, but the choice of accommodations proved a bit of a challenge.
I am traveling alone, I want to be free to do whatever I want, and I would like to stay at a less expensive hotel.
I was reminded of my previous visit to the “Kannawa area” to experience “Jigoku-Steam”
What is Jigoku-steam
Jigoku means “hell” in Japanese.
Steam from underground hot springs is used to cook vegetables and meat.
It’s Healthy and enjoy the flavors of the ingredients

I wonder if there is any place where you can cook your own food in steaming hell.
That is how I went on my trip, without deciding on anything else, looking for a hot-spring cure and an inn that also had a hot spring where I could cook my food(Jigoku-steam) and enjoy hot spring water whenever I wanted!
This trip was a great way to recharge my batteries for the rest of my life, going to hot springs when I wanted to, eating what I wanted to eat, and otherwise just relaxing and enjoying nature.
Please refer to the following pages for information on your trip to Beppu, including your actual planning and trip, the hot springs you visited, and what you ate Jigoku-Steam.

The best part is the steaming hot springs!
But all the hot springs we went in were great.

I have more lodgings to come back to!
summary
This was my second trip to Beppu in my life, and on the first day I was impressed by its potential to make me want to come back for another trip.
I would like to visit Beppu Onsen again if I have the chance and enjoy a free-spirited trip.
