Currently travelling Kyushu and chose Beppu to go to for my 21st birthday. It’s been amazing so far I absolutely love onsens they completely de-stress me.

Besides that has anyone else visited the 7 hells of Beppu and thought the crocodile hell was a bit crazy. Like I’ve previously read that Japan is a bit terrible with animal rights and I’m not usually one to complain but it was absolutely wild. Half of the crocodiles had big open wounds, they were stuffed into tiny, empty cages with a tiny bit of water and no shade. Half of them genuinely looked dead, I thought one of the cages was just a mass grave or something.

Don’t think I’d recommend this spot for tourists maybe just grab the stamp and leave.
