别府大学短期大学部, Junior college in Beppu, Japan.

It operates as part of Beppu University and focuses on practical training in areas such as early childhood education and home economics.
The institution was founded in 1954, during a period when Japan was rapidly rebuilding its education system after the war. It was created to meet the growing demand for practically trained workers in the Oita region.
The college draws students from across Oita Prefecture, and daily life on campus reflects the pace of a mid-sized coastal city. Local customs and seasonal events in Beppu often find their way into student life throughout the year.
The campus is located in Beppu and can be reached by public transport, as the city is well connected by train and bus. Visitors who are not students or staff should contact the institution before arriving, since access to the facilities is generally reserved for academic use.
Beppu is known for having one of the highest concentrations of hot spring activity in Japan, and students at this college study and live within that unusual setting. The steam rising from vents across the city is a regular part of the backdrop for anyone attending classes there.
