Beppu: Umi Jigoku and Chi no Ike Jigoku - A Steaming Hell Tour

A steaming journey through Beppu's must-see hells, featuring five signature locations. The day begins at Umi Jigoku, where the cobalt blue hot spring embraces the landscape, continuing to Kamado Jigoku with its six individually charming hells arranged from Block 1 to Block 6. At midday, take a leisurely walk along the stone-paved streets of Tetsuwara Hot Spring Town, where steam rises throughout, and savor the local specialty "jigoku mushi" steamed with geothermal vapor. In the afternoon, venture to the Shibaiseki area to witness the bright red Chi no Ike Jigoku, Japan's oldest natural hell, and experience the spectacular geyser of Tatsumaki Jigoku erupting powerfully every 30 to 40 minutes. Blue, red, and white steaming vapor—immerse yourself in a uniquely Beppu day where you can feel the earth's heartbeat with all five senses.
