As an onsen lover myself, I enjoyed seeing all the hell pools of different exciting colors. The small museum on 2nd floor of Sea Hell gives very interesting facts about onsen history in this area. I like it! One thing though, almost everything there was in Japanese. But we luckily have our awesome English speaking guide, who knows so much about hot spring in Beppu and excellently explained everything to us.

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
