History
Beppu has been a center of onsen culture for centuries; the city’s geothermal activity shaped both local industry and communal bathing traditions. Karate evolved in the Ryukyu Islands and was further codified across Japan, blending regional techniques with samurai-era influences.
Conservation
Respect local onsen and dojo rules—keep facilities clean, use minimal single-use plastics, and avoid wearing lotions or oils before entering public baths to reduce water treatment burdens.
