When you hear the word “Beppu”, images of steamy hot onsen immediately come to mind – but did you know that Beppu, Oita is also known for its blooming art and music community? Held every Autumn since 2010, Beppu Art Month is run by the “Mixed Bathing World Association” and takes place at various galleries and locations all over Beppu City. Exhibitions and performances take place between November 1 and December 1, with everything from painting and knitting to body art, yoga-dance and more. Participating artists range in age from young children to the elderly and many in between. Take a look at the full exhibition schedule on the official website and start planning an artsy getaway to Beppu!
