An extraordinary flurry of pink cherry blossom trees, green mountains and wide open fields create an interesting spectacle in Beppu Park. The leafy park’s bright flowers light up this hilly terrain in the town center of Beppu. Lay down a mat or blanket to reserve your place beneath a cherry blossom tree for the traditional Japanese experience of hanami. Enjoy a picnic in these gorgeous surroundings.
Embark on a tranquil stroll up and down the gently undulating terrain and appreciate the serenity. The green, natural surroundings, which are spread across an area of 67 acres (27 hectares), will make you forget you’re in the middle of a lively urban setting. Admire the plum and pine trees and attend one of the agricultural events and festivals held here.
Play games and join sports activities with your friends and families on the large fields. Arrive in the park in spring to see the cherry blossom trees in full bloom. The area is just as picturesque in fall, when the flowers and leaves begin to change colors. Study the rows of red roses among other colorful vegetation in the landscape gardens.
The bamboo forest is an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts and joggers. Relax at one of the benches facing the plant life and read a book. Inspect the lanterns and artistic light installations that brighten up the park at night.
Beppu Park is open to the public at all times. Access the grounds for free. Find Beppu Park in the center of the city. Arrive at the Beppu railway station and walk northwest for about 10 minutes to reach the heart of the park. Consider traveling by car and leaving your vehicle in one of the many spaces along the edges of the park.
