Beppu Park

Beppu Park is a large green space in central Beppu with walking paths, flower gardens, and recreational areas for outdoor activities. The grounds include different zones for strolling, relaxation, and various forms of exercise.

The park was founded in 1907 and developed on the grounds of a former post-World War II American military installation. The transformation from military site to public park marks an important shift in the city's development.

The park hosts seasonal events and local gatherings where visitors can encounter community celebrations and traditions. Residents use the open spaces throughout the year for social meetings and festivities.

The park sits about a 15-minute walk from Beppu Station and has ample parking available for visitors. It remains accessible throughout the year, making it easy to visit whenever you want.

Historical artifacts discovered during construction of the Kyushu Crossing Road were moved to the park and put on display for visitors. These discoveries offer a window into earlier periods of the region's development.
