World famous Onsen Town Beppu offers a series of cultural activities such as art exhibition, dancing, music, movie films, etc. all through the year.
“Beppu Art Month” is held in every fall starting on October 06 through December 02 at several sites in the city of Beppu. This activity is open to the public to register wide range of their arts. We have 149 programs by 123 different groups. People can enjoy various kinds of arts here and there in Beppu for free or charged.
During this period, a very unique exhibition “Konyoku Onsen World (Mixed Bathing World) Festival” is also held. Some forty groups of local and worldwide artists have carried their artistic products featuring Onsen Town Beppu to this festival.
