The city was founded on April 1, 1924 and is famous for its thousands of onsen (hot springs), which are regarded as sacred. Beppu is Japan`s onsen capital, containing nine major onsens, which are sometimes referred to as the "nine hells of Beppu". Beppu is considered a tourist town by the Japanese and is rather picturesque. Like much of Japan, Beppu is sandwiched between the sea and the mountains.

The combination of sea, mountains and onsens makes Beppu an ideal location for a summer vacation or even a weekend break from the city.

Recently, Beppu has been undergoing a renaissance. The city subsidized the creation of the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, an international university which focuses on International Relations and Business. The university attracts students from over 70 countries, making it the most culturally diverse university in Japan.

Beppu is also famous for its traditionally thriving adult industry, which a local  museum (Beppu Hihokan) depicts and commemorates.
