Beppu gushes forth more hot-spring water than anywhere else in Japan. With approximately 2,850 hot springs spewing forth 130,000 kiloliters (34 million gal.) of water daily (enough to fill 3,600 25m/82-ft. pools), it has long been one of the country's best-known spa resorts. Some 11 million people come to Beppu every year to relax and rejuvenate themselves in one of the city's 83 public bathhouses, and they do so in a number of unique ways: They sit in mud baths up to their necks, they bury themselves in hot black sand, they soak in hot springs, and on New Year's they bathe in water filled with floating orange peels. They even drink hot-spring water and eat food cooked by its steam.
