 Beppu, Japan’s hot springs capital
Having come to Beppu on a university scholarship, the demands of Japanese academia, not to mention karaoke and alcohol binges, seemed to outweigh any further research on my part into the onsen.

Indeed, the descriptions of Beppu in several English guidebooks did add to my negative presumptions; one highlighted aspect of the city in the guidebooks was, astonishingly, the Beppu Sex Museum, an attraction certainly not worth mentioning in comparison to the enormous amounts of ryokan and onsen they failed to ever mention.
