Japan has the most hot springs in the world, with more than 3,000. It is said that about 120 million people come to the hot springs to soak in the hot springs a year. Therefore, there is a joke that if you don't "spend money" in Japan, your journey will be a waste. Beppu Onsen is one of the best in Japan. The number of springs and the amount of water flowing out of it rank first in Japan. The most famous sightseeing project is the "Beppu Hell Tour", which takes about 2 hours to visit the 7 hells (hot spring sources). The reason why it is called "Hell" is that more than a thousand years ago, the location of Beppu Hot Spring sprayed hot air, hot mud and hot water everywhere. People at that time were unwilling to go near this place, so they called this place "Hell". This is the origin of Beppu’s “Hell Hot Spring”. Beppu is a large hot spring area that has been turned into a tourist attraction. In addition to soaking in hot springs♨️, you can see hot spring observatories and steam rising from every corner. The hot steam constantly rising from the source and the smell of sulfur floating in the air create a hell-like atmosphere, so visiting the source is called visiting hell. The famous ones are the "Seven Hells", and the "Umi Jigoku" is a nationally designated scenic spot. It is located in a courtyard-like place and is named after the bright blue color of the water gushing out. The water transparency is very high and the water temperature reaches 98 degrees. "Onishi Monk Hell", the hot mud is constantly gushing out with gray bubbles that look like a monk's head. In addition, this place is called Onishi, hence the name. There are 6 streets here. If you go to different streets, you will see hot springs with different characteristics. "Ghost Mountain Hell" is also called Crocodile Hell because it houses more than 80 crocodiles. Crocodiles live in tropical areas, where waste heat from hot springs is used to create an environment suitable for crocodiles to survive. "White Pond Hell" feeds a large number of tropical fish. The "blood pool hell" is formed by the eruption and accumulation of hot red mud containing iron oxide and magnesium oxide. "Tornado Hell", the spring water will spurt intermittently every three to forty minutes, and the spray can last for about five minutes. The Japanese believe that hot springs are gifts from the gods. In order to continue the benefits of hot springs, some places will hold sacrifices to worship the gods. Among them, Beppu Hot Spring, which is famous for surrounding hell, is the most coveted. This is because there once lived a monk named Ichiban Shonin (1239-1289). It is said that he used the power of Buddhist scriptures to suppress hell and create hot springs for people suffering from diseases. The people of Beppu still enshrine his statue and hold a bathing ceremony every September to show their respect and gratitude to the master.

#JapanTravel Location: 621 Kannawa, Beppu, Oita 874-0840 Japan Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 Admission fee: 450 yen for each hell, 20,000 yen for hell pilgrimage Beppu is a must-visit on Fukuoka's travel itinerary, and when you think of Beppu, you think of hell hot springs! All the hell pilgrimages are gathered here. The combined admission ticket is about 20,000 yen, but I personally recommend choosing only 1-2 hot springs you want to go to. There isn't much difference between each hell. I went to Kamado (Cauldron) Hell and Umi (Sea) Hell. I recommend these two! The hot spring itself was better at the sea hell. It was spacious and had benches, souvenir shops, etc., so there were a lot of things to see. Kamado Hell is the most famous hell, so I went there, but it's not that big, so I quickly looked around. I recommend looking around quickly and eating a combination of ramune and eggs. (Actually, I'm going to eat this haha) You can enjoy a foot bath for free, so make sure to take a foot bath and eat eggs and ramune! #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #Beppu #Beppu #HellOnsen

#2023travelwish I had the experience of travelling to Beppu. Beppu is famous for its onsen (hot springs). Rather than bathing, there are hot springs for viewing also. And each one is formed different way and has different properties. There are 7 hot springs known as ‘Hells of beppu’. If you have time, it is recommended to visit each of them. There are also foot baths for the feet in these places. It is a great way to relax and it is recommended to take towels for your feet with you. At the same time , some places give towels to visitors. Note: You don’t have to visit all of them. However, you have to pay the entrance fee for each of them. If you buy a packet , you can pay 2000 yen (15$) one time and can visit 7 hot springs. You can take the ticket from ticketing place at the entrance of any hot spring place. As you can see with photos, this view is amazing and it deserves to be visited.

In the city of Beppu of Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, there are steaming hot springs which they call hells for viewing that are popular with tourists. Their unique appearances make the hot springs spectacular. Beppu is the second largest producer of geothermal water in the world. The different types of hell are derived from the different types of water. Umi Jigoku, or Sea Hell in Japanese, is named for its vibrant cobalt blue waters surrounded by a small Japanese garden. The blue colour is the result of sunlight hitting the water surface. The water is so hot that clouds of steam constantly obscure its surface. Another hot spring that is interesting is the Chinoike Jigoku or Blood Pond Hell, named after the vibrant red colour of the steaming hot pond due to the iron in the water. There is also a free foot bath for visitors who are tired from all the walking which comes from natural hot spring waters. This foot bath is truly a lifesaver to sit down and relax. In addition, they also sell food items boiled using the spring waters such as eggs. #fallingforfall #tripblazers

Finally, it is common to see two, Blood Pond Hell and Tatsumaki Hell. I was surprised at how much the scenery can change even at the same hot spring. It's a view that you can never see anywhere else, so if you've come all the way to Beppu, it's definitely worth seeing! #Beppu #HellTour

By the way, everyone will come to Japan to do well, and say goodbye to the warmth of the cups. Because Japanese people usually drink ice water, no matter how cold it is; hot water is only used to brew tea and coffee; there is no warm water. Do you know how the temperature of up to 80 degrees is reduced to the level available at home? Of course, there is a very clever folk facility - the water tower! is such a device, with bamboo branches layered, water is sent to the top, along a layer of bamboo branches, in contact with the air, the temperature is reduced to a usable level. Then use a pipe to transport to a home. The local government has a large drying tower to transport to each household; the big inn will also have a model version for residents to visit.

Go to hell, you! Hell Hot Springs in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, Japan. The colors are rich and the temperature is strong. There will also be mud on the surface, and the bubbling will continue. The legendary lava transpiration is like this, so it is called Hell Spa~

#Spring0yentrip "A spectacular hell where geysers periodically erupt with great force. It is rare even in Japan as a natural geyser, and the sight of it erupting once every 30 to 40 minutes is worth seeing. It is roofed so it is safe even on rainy days. ▶Access: It is a little far from the other hells, but it is common to visit them together ▶Travel tips: Check the erupting time in advance before visiting/There are a lot of tourists so try to visit at a different time ◎"

#Spring0yenTrip "As the name suggests, it comes from the fact that in the past, steam from the hells was used to cook rice for festivals here.

#March Good Places 2025 More than a thousand years ago the locals were still full of unknowns, finding the high temperature steam and hot springs naturally flowing from the ground, finding it difficult to get close and fearful so called "hell". “Rainwater becomes hot spring water after a long journey of up to fifty years.” The semicircular asymmetric modern building The Hell’s Hot Springs Museum is in the Iron Wheel Hot Springs area, five hells nearby. Compared to the seven hells, the museum closes later, so you can go to hell first and finally to the museum. The nearby snack shop is more famous, you can replenish your strength before walking. Explains the quality and formation of the springs of hell, introduces the origin of the hot springs – the origin of the name of the hot springs of hell It is rainwater falling into the soil, only 16% of the rainwater can fuse with minerals and become hot spring water. Finally there are the now popular immersive exhibitions.

#March Good Places 2025 Dragon Roll Hell is actually an intermittent hot spring Geyser that erupts hot water and steam every 30 to 40 minutes. The sight of high-temperature and powerful water spurting out is like a tornado howling with strong winds in hell. But because every once in a while there will be an outbreak, can be at the door when considering whether to enter the venue, can first ask the staff how long before the outbreak, if you have to wait too long or yourself in a hurry can also skip. If you decide to wait, you can walk to the shop to buy souvenirs, etc., but seeing the tornado spring depends on fate.

If there is a hell, what would it look like? Beppu in Kyushu provides an imagination. The sea hell looks like blue water and cool, but you would never imagine that its temperature is as high as 98 degrees. This is a natural wonder formed after the eruption of Mount Tsurumi thousands of years ago. The one with the longest history in the entire hell tour is the Blood Pond Hell, which is the oldest natural hell in Japan. Every day, 1,800 liters of mud hot springs gush out. Because the color of the mud hot springs reflects blood under sunlight, it is associated with a blood pool. There is an interesting specialty here called "Blood Pool Ointment", which is made from blood pool mud. Because of the magnesium sulfate component in it, it was used as a medicine to treat skin diseases during war. The Bai Chi Hell allows hell and the human world to coexist harmoniously through courtyard design. There are eight hells in the whole Hell Tour. Because they are scattered, it takes two or three hours to visit them slowly. You can buy a package ticket, plus a one-day ticket for Kamenoi Bus, to visit all the hells at once. 📍Address: 559-1 Kannawa, Beppu, Oita 874-0000 Japan 🚗Transfer to Kamenoi Bus at JR Beppu West Exit. It is recommended to check the bus schedule in advance to avoid waiting for the bus for too long. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

At the break of dawn, we set out to visit Nyoirin-ji Temple in the outskirts of Fukuoka. The ancient temple is serene, with the sound of wooden fish and the faint scent of incense filling the air. The golden Buddha statue reveals its compassion in the morning light, and our hearts gradually enter a state of tranquility with the Buddhist chants. In the afternoon, we head to Beppu, a hot spring town shrouded in white steam, resembling a fairyland. The hot spring pools are hidden among the greenery, and the sound of flowing water soothes our travel fatigue. As dusk approaches, we seek out the mysterious Hell Springs, where the iron-blue hot springs bubble like dragon's breath, the strong smell of sulfur fills the air, and the mottled rock walls resemble a devil's painting. The natural wonders leave us breathless. After a night at a hot spring inn, the morning bell rings again, and the three scenes vividly remain in our minds, as if we have traveled through a fantastical journey between the human world and the underworld.

When I arrived in Beppu, the first thing that caught my eye was the steam rising from all over the city. As it is famous as a hot spring resort, it is a place where you can feel the power of geothermal energy on your skin. On the "Hell Tour", you can visit various hot springs of various colors, each with its own unique character which was interesting. There are public baths all over the city, and the most famous of these is Takegawara Onsen, shown in the first photo, about a 5-minute walk from Beppu Station. Soaking in the hot water instantly soothes the fatigue of your journey, and casual conversations with the locals are also heartwarming. You can get a panoramic view of the city from Beppu Tower. It is truly a town of healing, where you can soothe both your body and mind. #Spring0YenTrip
