Why rent an e-bike in Beppu?

Beppu: A Cyclist’s Dream (with a Few Hills)

Beppu is a city that’s perfect for biking. With its scenic routes, quiet streets, and well-maintained bike paths, it’s easy to navigate and offers a unique way to soak (pun intended) in the city’s natural beauty. However, Beppu is also a city of hills. While these landscapes provide stunning views, they can be a bit challenging for casual cyclists. This is where an e-bike comes in handy.

An electric bike gives you the perfect balance of exercise and ease. With its pedal-assist feature, you can effortlessly conquer Beppu’s hills, making it possible to explore areas that might otherwise be too tiring.

Discover hidden locations: Greenhouses, Hilltop Cafés, and Mountain Onsens

One of the best things about Beppu is its abundance of hidden treasures. While the city’s main attractions are well worth visiting, some of the most memorable experiences can be found off the beaten path. With an e-bike, you can easily access these lesser-known spots, we will provide a map with these spots when you rent a bike!

• Greenhouse Onsen: Beppu is home to several unique onsen experiences, including a greenhouse-style hot spring.
• Hilltop Cafés: Beppu’s hills have a handfull of charming cafés that offer not only food and drinks but also breathtaking views of the city and surrounding mountains. An e-bike makes it easy to reach these elevated spots.
• Mountain Onsens: You might have seen a couple of popular onsen’s when you look on Google maps, but there are also some onsen’s hidden in the mountains. With an e-bike, you can easily navigate the winding roads that lead to these onsen’s.

Explore the Seven Hells of Beppu with Ease

No visit to Beppu is complete without experiencing the Seven Hells of Beppu (Beppu Jigoku), a collection of spectacular geothermal hot springs that are as beautiful as they are unique. Each of the seven hells has its own distinct character, from the cobalt blue waters of Umi Jigoku to the bubbling mud pools of Oniishibozu Jigoku.

However, the Seven Hells are spread out across different locations in Beppu, and two of them are located further away from the main cluster. While public transport is an option, it can be time-consuming and inconvenient. With an e-bike, you can easily cover the distance between the hells. Plus, the electric assist means you can enjoy the journey without worrying about fatigue.
