Beppu's early morning is shrouded in a faint scent of sulfur, with white steam lingering in the air. The journey begins at Umi Jigoku, where emerald-blue hot springs quietly steam, reflecting the surrounding greenery and crimson torii gates. Visiting Onishi-Bozu Hell and Blood Pond Hell, you'll experience the power of geothermal heat. The sound of gushing springs intertwines with the steam beneath your feet, creating a sense of being transported to another world. After leaving the Jigoku Onsen complex, follow the signs to Kannawa Onsen Street. Shops line the streets, the aroma of hot spring eggs fills the air, and locals chat by foot baths. Kannawa's streets retain their historic charm, with hot spring smoke rising from the eaves and narrow alleyways brimming with life. Stop for a soak in the local public baths at Jizo-yu or Shibu-no-yu to experience the authentic rhythm of Beppu. After a rest, continue to the Warehouse Observatory (Warehouse Observatory). The route is slightly uphill, but offers panoramic views of Beppu city and the mountains. From the observatory, the entire Beppu Onsen area is unobstructed, with the silhouette of Mount Yufu and the wafting mist of the hot springs visible in the distance. At sunset, the golden afterglow casts a brilliant light over the city and the sea, bringing this walking tour to a perfect end.

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
