Beppu Today, 2013 Mar 10th, JR Beppu Daigaku Station

There are four JR stations in Beppu city, Kamegawa Station, Beppu Daigaku Station, Beppu Station and Higashi Beppu Station.
 Today, I walked from Beppu Daigaku Station (or Beppu University Station) to Beppu International port, and then to Kannawa.

  Beppu Daigaku Station is the next station after Beppu station (it takes 4 minutes).
Only local trains stop at Beppu Daigaku Eki.
