Kamihiro Onsen is one of the many bathhouses within Beppu, Japan's largest hot spring resort city in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, famous for the Beppu Hatto — the Eight Thermal Zones of Beppu — where more thermal water flows daily than anywhere in the world outside of Yellowstone. The siliceous waters of Beppu have been scientifically studied and are recognized for their skin-conditioning and anti-inflammatory properties, drawing both domestic spa-seekers and international visitors to experience Japan's thermal culture at its most prolific. Beppu's dramatic landscape of steam rising from the earth throughout the city, combined with its eclectic mix of traditional sento public baths, therapeutic ryokan, and spectacular geothermal Hell pools, makes it one of the most visually and sensually extraordinary thermal destinations in the world.
