Beppu, Japan: A Sanctuary of Healing and Tradition This photograph transports us back to the 1920s, showcasing the timeless allure of Beppu, Japan's premier hot springs destination. Founded in 1924, Beppu is renowned for its onsen, or hot springs, which are deeply rooted in Japanese culture and regarded as sacred. With the largest volume of hot water in the world, apart from Yellowstone in the United States, and the highest number of hot spring sources in Japan, Beppu is truly the onsen capital. The city is home to nine major geothermal hot spots, often referred to as the 'nine hells of Beppu,' which offer a unique and otherworldly experience. In this image, we witness local people enjoying a traditional hot spring sand bath, a unique therapeutic practice that involves burying oneself in hot sand infused with mineral-rich spring water. The use of hot springs for health and wellness purposes dates back to ancient times, with Beppu's mineral-rich waters believed to offer a multitude of healing properties. The region's farms and spas continue to draw visitors from around the world, seeking alternative cures and a respite from the stresses of daily life. This photograph, taken in 1928, captures the essence of Beppu's rich history, cultural significance, and enduring allure. The hot spring shed, with its tin roof and wooden structure, serves as a backdrop to the makeshift marquee and buckets, adding to the rustic charm of the scene. The steam rising from the sand bath and the serene expression on the faces of the bathers convey a sense of peace and tranquility, making this an enduring testament to the therapeutic power of Beppu's hot springs.
