THE first step in the Yuenchi hot spring theme park plan will be a water-splashing festival, set to take place on April 2. This will be followed by the opening of a new attraction in July, involving rides at the existing Beppu Rakutenchi theme park. This attraction will be open for a limited time only.
The April ‘hot water splashing’ festival will be held alongside the Beppu Hatto Onsen Festival (March 31 to April 3), during which equipment such as fire hoses are used to douse float bearers with warm hot spring water as they parade outside JR Beppu station. This year the festival will spray 10 times as much onsen (hot spring) water as usual, a total of around 30 tonnes, which will be pumped from unused onsens in the town.
The ‘hot spring theme park’ attraction opening in July will coincide with the annual Beppu Sea of Fire Festival, and will encourage attendees to enjoy new hot spring attractions at Beppu Rakutenchi theme park, details of which have yet to be finalised.
