    Condensed version of Hell Hot Springs, with different styles of Hell Hot Springs attractions from 1-chome to 6-chome, including blue, red, mud, etc. Don't confuse it with "Sea Hell"~ There is drinkable hot spring water, which is said to be able to rejuvenate, and you can also steam your face. If you have time to travel by yourself, you can get an atlas stamp and buy a combined ticket to check in all the Hell Hot Springs

    The various hells in Beppu, including Umi Jigoku, each offer unique scenery, but they're all incredibly beautiful and well worth a visit. It's recommended to start your tour at Umi Jigoku, then visit each of the five hells in the order you've entered your ticket. The first five are all in one area and can be reached on foot. The last two require public transportation.

    Beppu Onsen, also known as Beppu Hatto, consists of eight hot spring towns, each with its own characteristics. Beppu's geothermal phenomena are rich and varied, and the amount of water and the richness of minerals are second to none. Few places in the world can compare with it. The spring water in each place has different spring qualities and different therapeutic effects.

    Kamado Jigoku is about a 5-minute walk from Umi Jigoku and Onishibozu Jigoku. Multiple hot springs are separated into blocks, and experience corners such as "drinkable hot springs" and "steam baths" are unique to this place. Next to the shop and eat-in space where you can eat soy sauce pudding and hot spring century eggs, there is also a foot bath. It is a little crowded, but eating and drinking are prohibited in the foot bath area and there is a good turnover, so you can get in quickly. Towels are also available for free rental (other Jigoku are generally purchased for 200 yen). We recommend visiting after Umi Jigoku.

    Take a bus from Beppu Station to the Cable Car Kogen Station, a journey of about half an hour. The first cable car runs at 9:00 AM, so it's recommended to arrive at the Cable Car Kogen Station by 8:50 AM. By then, you'll be able to line up for the cable car, and the first ride will be less crowded. The views from the mountain are stunning, offering panoramic views of Beppu city and the Yufuin area. We recommend allowing about an hour and a half to enjoy the scenery.

    [Scenery] A very cheap observatory at Beppu Tower, you can climb it for 200 yen, but the facilities are very dilapidated [Fun] It may be more historical, but you can enjoy the environment of Beppu Beach, which is worth the price
