Beppu Hells

The Beppu Hells are a collection of eight spectacular hot spring ponds in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, each with its own distinctive character. From the blood-red Chinoike Jigoku to the vivid cobalt-blue Umi Jigoku, these geothermal wonders are among Japan's most visually stunning natural attractions. While too hot to bathe in, visitors can enjoy the steaming, colorful pools on a scenic tour of the area.
