Beppu Onsen District Nightlife

Beppu's Kitahama and Takegawara Onsen areas are dotted with entertainment districts evoking a retro Showa atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a drink after a soak. You'll find bars stocked with local Oita sake and shochu, karaoke snack bars, and traditional izakayas lined up along the streets, where you can experience the warmth and hospitality unique to onsen towns. The illuminated facade of Takegawara Onsen has become a symbol of Beppu at night. In recent years, new-style establishments like craft beer bars and wine bars have opened, making it a popular nightlife area for younger generations as well.
