Beppu, one of the best hot spring cities in the world, is also known for its “hells” in Japanese “jigoku” #地獄. Seven photogenic hot springs which will definitely stimulate your senses.
Kamado Jigoku is one of the hot springs onsen included in the “Jigoku Meguri” tour, in which you can enjoy famous Japanese hot spring spots all at once. It’s really worth it to go. If you don’t have time, pay the 400 yens fee, so you can have a walking around the small ponds place. The 2000 yens if you wanna take 2 hours to see the big one place.
The first hell, a bubbling hot 90 degrees Celsius thermal mud. You can hear the bubbles burst and if you look carefully you’ll notice the interesting bubble burst liquid formations.
A beautiful cobalt blue hell. It is 85 degrees Celsius and there is steam pouring out. The white substance seen all around the hell is composed of amorphous silica (inorganic material commonly used in semiconductor circuits) and hot spring deposits. It takes around 70 years to form.
Thermal mud pond with a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius. You can see mud bubble bursts here as well but not as intense as the previous one.
A big pond of silky blue color. An information sign states that the ponds color changes several times a year, from dark to light and from blue to green color.
The last pond is one more thermal mud one, like the two previous ones. This one had a bit more reddish color and there is no particular area for muddy bubble bursts, it seems that it boils from everywhere. The difference in color is due to iron contained in the soil.
