Hell Tour (地獄めぐり)

Beppu Onsen is one of the most popular Onsen resorts in Japan, which is located in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu Region. Beppu City is home to over 2,000 hot spring sources, various kinds of Onsen baths and attractions can be enjoyed such as sand bath, steam bath and the most unique one, “Hells”.

Including the “Blood Pond Hell” (picture above), there are 7 hot spring ponds in total called “Hells (Jigoku in Japanese)” in Beppu. A journey through those hells is a popular tourist route in this Onsen district, and the tour is called “Jigoku Meguri” (the Hell Tour).

Each “Hell” of Beppu has different feature. One has mud bubbles, another has blue colour. And probably the scariest one is “Oniyama Jigoku” where numbers of crocodiles are bred and kept in the pond!! Literally, if you fall, you die 🙁
