Time needed in Beppu

Can I know how much time do I need in Beppu for a day trip from Hakata?
I would like to view some of the hot springs (what bus to take?) as well as soak myself in at least one hot spring. If time permits, i would like to do the sand bath too.
I might want to do a early lunch there as well as a tea break there.
So how much time do I need to do above?
JR Kyushu Pass: Can I make reservation a few hours before my train or is this strictly at least one day before travelling? What happens if I miss my train after reservation?
Thanks

Can I know how much time do I need in Beppu for a day trip from Hakata?If you see just a few of the hells, you can do that in 1-4 hours depending on how many hells you visit and depending on your travel pace. Seeing all of them would require more time. A hot spring bath experience typically takes about an hour, but again this can vary greatly between individuals. Then I would add two hours for getting around, resulting in a total of 4-8 hours. The sand bath experience would add another hour, assuming that there are no waiting times (sometimes it can be busy). Lunch another hour. I would like to view some of the hot springs (what bus to take?)Access to the hells is explained here: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4702.htmlGeneral Beppu orientation: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4705.htmlJR Kyushu Pass: Can I make reservation a few hours before my train or is this strictly at least one day before travelling?You can make reservations until a few minutes before the departure of the trains, assuming that there are vacancies. What happens if I miss my train after reservation?A seat on the train will remain vacant, possibly causing inconvenience to the train company and other travelers. You yourself could make another reservation for a later train or ride any train in the non-reserved section.
