Beppu
After month’s of waiting, the amusement park that seemed too crazy to be true receives its first visitors.
Travelers have been visiting Beppu for its natural baths for years, but now the onsen is coming to them instead.
The Mayor of Beppu is delivering on his promise of a hot spring amusement park with tickets, fireworks and home-delivered onsen water for patrons.
The mayor who pledged to create an onsen amusement park if his video received a million views now has another message for the public.
The clip shows a number of jaw-dropping ideas for the spa-filled amusement park, including onsen carousels and roller coasters filled with spring water.
