Colourful Hot Springs in Beppu

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

Beppu's Seven Hells Hot Springs

Beppu's Seven Hells Hot Springs

Beppu's Seven Hells Hot Springs are like volcanic eruptions, with gases constantly bubbling up from the ground, making it both terrifying and mysterious! In some ponds, there are hungry hippos that you can feed with vegetables for 100 yen! There's also a place called 'Crocodile Hell' where 80 crocodiles live together. It's really special! But the nearby spring water reaches temperatures of up to 99 degrees Celsius, so you can't go in. You'll see the red 'Blood Pond Hell,' which is said to be the oldest hell hot spring in Japan! Additionally, there's the pale blue 'Sea Hell,' which is 200 meters deep and very spectacular! Using the steam from these hell hot springs to cook food is called 'Hell Steaming,' a tradition that has been passed down for a long time! Some soft-boiled eggs and baked puddings are also cooked with this steam! When you come here, you really should visit all seven 'hells' at once. You can buy a combined ticket for the tour, which takes about 2 hours and costs less than 2000 yen! If you don't want to join a tour, you can enter each hot spring individually for 400 yen each. But be careful, the water temperature is very high, so don't go in for a soak! Overall, this place is really special.

Enjoy with colourful hot springs 🌸

#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.
