Travel to Beppu Jigoku in Fukuoka!

Escape the hustle and bustle of Fukuoka city and unwind with a relaxing trip to the fascinating Beppu Jigoku Meguri (or "The Seven Hells of Beppu"). These unique natural hot springs feature vibrant colors like blue and red, steaming geysers, and bubbling mud pools. Each spring has its own distinct character, making for stunning photo opportunities. Some even offer food to try! 🔥 The 7 Unique Hells on This Trip: 1. Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) A turquoise blue spring resembling the sea, but with a boiling temperature of 98°C! It offers plenty of photo spots and is the most serene among the seven. 2. Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk's Head Hell) A bubbling mud pool that resembles a monk's head. It's quirky and perfect for those who enjoy unusual sights. 3. Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Pot Hell) This area features multiple springs, including blue, red, and mud pools. It feels like a mineral water experiment lab, and you can even try drinking mineral water or tasting boiled eggs cooked in the hot springs. 4. Oniyama Jigoku (Crocodile Hell) Not just a hot spring, but also home to crocodiles! The warm water helps them grow faster, though it can be a bit intimidating. 5. Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell) A milky white spring that looks like a pool of hot milk with steam rising continuously. It's peaceful and perfect for stunning photos. 6. Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell) A deep red spring resembling blood, this is one of Beppu's signature attractions. It's awe-inspiring and feels like being on Mars. 7. Tatsumaki Jigoku (Geyser Hell) A small but powerful spring that erupts periodically like a natural fountain. It's exciting to watch it shoot up! 🚆 How to Get from Fukuoka to Beppu From Hakata Station (Fukuoka), take the Limited Express Sonic train to Beppu Station (approximately 2 hours). From Beppu Station, you can purchase a Jigoku Meguri Bus Pass to take the sightseeing bus to all seven springs. Spending 3–4 hours exploring is just right. 💡 Tips - Buy a combined ticket for all seven springs to save money. - Don’t miss trying boiled eggs cooked in the hot springs and drinking fresh mineral water. - For souvenirs, there are hot gel packs, body masks, egg-based snacks, and mineral water products from each spring to choose from.

Hells of Beppu

📍 Address: Hells of Beppu (Jigoku Meguri), Kannawa & Shibaseki area, Beppu, Ōita, Japan 💖 Reasons to Recommend: Felt like another planet—steam roaring out of the ground, a surreal blood-red pool, and a muddy spring that bubbles and plops in slow motion. Easy paths, clear signs, and great viewpoints for photos. Go early: cooler, fewer people, and the steam looks epic in the morning light. 🕰️ Business Hours: Morning–late afternoon (varies by season—check on the day) 🏞️ Ambiance/Facilities: Clean walkways, rest areas, souvenir/snack shops, free toilets, and plenty of photo spots. Sulfur smell is there but not overwhelming. 💰 Average Price per Person: ¥2,000–¥2,500 for the multi-hell pass (individual sites ~¥400–¥500 each) 🗓️ Itinerary Scheduling: Spend 1.5–2 hours. Start at Umi Jigoku (blue pool), then Chinoike Jigoku (red pool), and Oniishibōzu Jigoku (mud bubbles). Pair with Beppu Ropeway or a relaxing onsen afterward. ⭐ Rating: 5/5 — short, unforgettable stop. #hellsofbeppu

Steamy Escapades in Beppu’s Jigoku Meguri 🔥♨️ Journey through Beppu’s legendary “Hells”—a series of dramatic hot springs with bubbling ponds, vivid colors, and otherworldly steam. This experience turns geothermal wonders into a fun, walkable adventure with unique local treats along the way! Start your Jigoku Meguri at the main Hell circuit (Hells of Beppu, 559-1 Kannawa). Arrive early (by 08:00) to explore each hell before crowds build—Umi Jigoku’s cobalt-blue waters are ultra photogenic from the viewing deck, and Oniishibozu Jigoku’s mud bubbles make for quirky selfies. The natural steam billowing everywhere creates ethereal, “insta-worthy” backdrops, especially at Chinoike Jigoku (blood pond). After marveling at the steamy springs, walk over to Jigokumushikobo Kannawa (closed on Wednesdays, check for hours) to sample “hell-steamed” cuisine. Their DIY steam-cooking experience is a must and using the geothermal steam for eggs, veggies, and pudding is both tasty and memorable—best tried after a chilly morning circuit! There is a public Foot Bath (Free) for public!! Just next to restaurant Don’t miss Okamotoya for their creamy steamed pudding; grab it to-go for a delicious photo op against the swirling steam vents. Nice view! Tips: Wear comfortable shoes—paths between hells are short but uneven. Bring a small towel (if not buy @ ¥300), as the steamy air can get muggy. Keep cash handy for tickets (each hells at ¥500 buy at counter) (¥1150 for all seven hells) and snacks, and stick to the marked walkways as steam pools are dangerously hot. Precautions: Don’t touch the hot water! Some hells can get slippery during rain, so watch your step. #Beppu #JigokuMeguri #JapanTravel #Onsen #HiddenGems#mytraveldairy
