We visited Blood Pond Hell and Sea Hell on a tour of the Hells of Beppu Onsen. We went on a weekday, but it was cherry blossom season so it seemed a little crowded. Next to Blood Pond Hell is Tornado Hell, and it's just a few minutes' walk from the nearest bus stop to the nearest bus stop to Sea Hell. From the bus stop, we strolled through the hot spring town and arrived at Sea Hell. The access and the view were great! #BeppuOnsen #HellTour #BloodPondHell #SeaHell

They are Sea Hell, Ghost Stone Square Hell, Stove Hell, Mountain Hell, Ghost Mountain Hell, White Pond Hell, Blood Pond Hell and Tornado Hell. The eight hot springs have mud, hot water, geysers, and some have foot baths. If you want to tour all the attractions, you can buy a common ticket for 2,000 yen per adult, which also includes a visit to the mullet.

Blood Pond Hell ♨️ As the name suggests, it really is red! The bumpy parts look like angry demons 😡 This hot spring is also recommended for children, as it has a sign showing the destination when an explosion occurs, and a face-in panel for commemorative photos! If you climb a few stairs, you will come to an observation deck, where you can look down from above 🔍 On your way back, why not buy some demon-themed goods at the souvenir shop next door? #Oita #HotSpring #HellTour #BloodPondHell #AmazingView

Everyone knows Yufuin, but did you know that there is also a famous tourist attraction, Beppu Hell Hot Springs, about 90 minutes away by car? There are seven hot springs of different natures gathered in Beppu, colorful, but don't touch them, they are very hot! If you are hungry, don't worry, there are hot spring eggs, pudding and other foods for sale in Zao Jigoku, and there is even hot spring water for tasting! There are also many free foot baths here. When you come to Beppu, don’t forget to bring your own towel to wipe your feet after soaking in the hot spring!

When you come to Beppu, how can you not visit the legendary "Eight Views of Hell"? The most impressive one is undoubtedly "Blood Hell". From afar, the pool of boiling red spring water looks like the gate of hell opened wide, which really makes people gasp at the first sight. Hot spring experience | Can't take a bath but still worth staying The main pool is too hot to bathe directly in as it is 78 degrees Celsius, but there is a small foot bath in the park where the warmth penetrates the soles of your feet, which is said to be good for the skin and blood circulation. The spring water is rich in iron oxide, so it appears a strong red color, which has a very strong visual impact, as if you are in a mythical world. Transportation｜Easy access to hell From JR Beppu Station, take the bus bound for Kannawa area and it will take about 25 to 30 minutes to get to the "Blood Pond Jigoku-mae" stop. It is very convenient and only a 1-minute walk from the bus stop. If you have purchased the Hell Pass, you may also want to visit the nearby Tornado Hell and White Pond Hell. Ticket Information | Single-venue and package ticket options The ticket price for a single venue is 500 yen. If you plan to visit all eight hells at once, it is recommended to purchase the common ticket for 2,400 yen on site (2,200 yen online), which saves both money and trouble. Personal thoughts | Surreal sensory impact Although you cannot bathe in the Blood Hell, the visual and imaginative shock it brings is definitely not inferior to any other hot spring attraction. If you are in a hurry, just visit this place and the sea hell. Standing by the boiling red pool, I couldn't help but wonder, "If hell really existed, would it look like this?" I suggest you visit early to avoid the crowds. Taking photos in the misty morning is especially atmospheric.

#FukuokaTravel #FukuokaBeppu #FukuokaPlacesToVisit #FukuokaTravelRecommendations Fukuoka – Beppu Hell Hot Springs Travel Review It takes about 2 hours from Fukuoka to Beppu by JR train. Beppu, where I arrived while looking at the scenery outside the train window, was a place that perfectly fits the description of ‘Hot Springs City’. Chinoike Hell – Blood-red Hot Springs The first place I arrived at was ‘Hyeolchi Hot Springs’. The water was really blood-red and boiling. I exclaimed ‘Wow’ as soon as I saw it, and I also bought skin ointment and soap made from the hot spring water. Umi Hell – Blue Dragon’s Breath This place is blue on the contrary. Smoke was rising from the clear and deep blue-green hot spring water, and I was completely overwhelmed by the unrealistic color. There is a garden inside, so I took a walk, and you must eat the pudding steamed in the hot spring. It is really delicious! Kamado Jigoku – Fun like a set This place is small but diverse. The bubbling gray, blue, and white hot springs are all gathered in one place, so it was great for taking pictures, and I also ate eggs made from the hot spring water. Tatsumaki Jigoku – The power of the geyser If you wait, the sight of the water gushing out with a 'pong!' is spectacular. The fountain that bursts briefly at the end of the wait is a must-see. Overall Highly recommended for solo or leisurely couples. A must-visit place for hot spring enthusiasts. It was a journey that melted my eyes, heart, and body. 📍 Location information Beppu Jigoku Meguri 〒874-0000 Ōita, Beppu, Kannawa

Jinoike Jigoku is a place where you can feel the wonder and mystery of nature at the same time. The sight of the red hot spring water boiling like blood is a little creepy at first, but at the same time, you can't take your eyes off the rare scenery. On a day with a little rain, the steam rises, adding to the mysterious atmosphere. It was one of the most impressive and photogenic places among the hell pilgrimages in Beppu. This red hell, created by nature, not human hands, is definitely a place that will remain in your memory for a long time. #HawaiiFlightEvent

When you come to Kyushu, Japan, you must not miss the hot spring capital - Beppu!

In addition, Beppu cold noodles and hot spring eggs are highly recommended! Come and experience the charm of Beppu's hot springs. #Register for April Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 #Beppu #Hot Springs #New Year's Destinations 2025 #japantrip

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

#0yentravelnovember There are several hells on the tour of hell, but Chinoike Jigoku is probably the closest to the image of hell we have. It's no exaggeration to say that the red hot springs are exactly what hell is. When you go on the tour of hell, I recommend you see all of them, but at the very least, you should see Chinoike Jigoku. There is also a souvenir shop near Chinoike Jigoku, with a friendly staff member. They sell not only ornaments and food, but also a variety of other items such as clothes and tote bags, so be sure to stop by and take a look.

Chinoike Jigoku is the oldest natural hell in Japan with a history of over 1300 years, and is characterized by its red hot mud pond🔥 At Chinoike Jigoku, you can easily enjoy the warmth of the hot springs with a "hand bath".

Thanks to the good weather, everywhere we go there is a big sun illuminating us, so the photos are particularly beautiful 🥰 Kumamoto Castle still stands to guard all the people, to Beppu to visit the Blood Hell and Sea Hell, are worth a trip. Aso volcano is even more powerful, and not to be outdone, ready to move a lot of burnt smoke, grass thousands of miles of horses each eat very fat, just happened to meet the sunset, beautiful and pleasant scenery! If you have the chance, you should explore Kyushu 😍👏👏👏
