Local Pick
Overview
Free volcanic steam vents in Beppu's hillside neighborhoods where locals cook eggs and vegetables in the ground.
While tourists pay for the 'hells', local neighborhoods in Myoban and Kannawa have free public steam vents where anyone can cook food using volcanic heat. Bring eggs, sweet potatoes, or vegetables in a basket, place them over the vent, and wait 20 minutes. It's how Beppu locals have cooked for centuries, using the earth as a stove.
Local tips
Buy eggs and sweet potatoes at the convenience store before heading up. The Myoban area vents are the hottest. Eggs cook in 8 minutes.
