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
You can choose to take the circular bus 🚌 and check in at 7 hell hot springs. It is more cost-effective to buy a combined ticket. Half a day should be enough. Each hot spring in the hell hot spring has a different flavor. Blue, pink, and khaki are all very good.

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.
Hop around the different "hells" in Beppu to see different onsens including sea, fire, etc. Nice experience and stunning

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.
Zao Jigoku, located in Beppu Onsen Town, includes several hot springs including foot bath hot springs and tender skin hot springs. In addition, countless tourists come here every year to see the cement-colored lava hot springs!

The Suginoi Hotel is also known as the "Suginoi Palace" and is composed of several buildings. Among them, the main building is accessible through the inner corridor on the fifth floor, and you can see the famous special tent bath and infinity swimming pool, which are the biggest selling points. Last night, from check-in at three o'clock in the afternoon to midnight, bathers ranging from elderly people in wheelchairs to swaddled babies flocked to the super-large soup pool like crucian carp crossing the river... It was so shocking! I also saw the pictures on the official website and fell in love at first sight, so I came all the way here ~ But there were too many people on the night I checked in, so I didn’t try to squeeze in. When the door opened at 7 o’clock this morning, the sunrise was forecast at 7:10, but it rained, so I didn’t meet the one in the picture. Outstanding beauty.
However, the tent bath in the light rain is really good - you can not only enjoy the comfort of the hot spring ♨️, but also feel better because of the fresh and cold air in the open-air bath... Even if there is no sunrise, even if you can't see the blue sky and blue sea, there is no obstruction With a wide field of vision, it is enough for three or five people to enjoy the wonderful scenery surrounded by clouds, mist and geothermal heat!
(Because photography is not allowed in the hot spring pool, I can only describe it in words. Haha, please use your imagination~)
The outdoor heated pool facility with projection mapping was truly amazing!
During the day, it was pleasant to look out over Oita's mountains and the sea, and at set times in the evening, there was a light, sound, and water show to enjoy.
Projection mapping was also available in facilities other than the pool, and we also enjoyed the indoor bath facilities.
The buffet was also extensive, so you could spend time just inside the facility.
There were a lot of family guests, so it did feel a little crowded at times, but we were satisfied.

[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
Beppu Tower is one of the landmark buildings in Beppu. Although it is not as popular as the famous Eight Hells, it is also a sight in Beppu. Beppu Tower is close to the seaside and is located on the main road. There are many restaurants nearby, and many Kamei buses pass by it.
