Beppu Onsen
A tour of hot spring "heaven" and "jigoku",
where you can feel healing with your whole body
This is the most prominent hot spring in Oita Prefecture, the onsen prefecture.
The number of hot springs in Oita is said to be the largest in Japan
in terms of the number of sources and the amount of hot springs gushing forth.
The eight hot springs vary in efficacy and scenery,
from nostalgic hot springs to hot springs in the midst of the great outdoors,
all offering places where you can relax and unwind.
After relaxing to your heart's content in the hot spring paradise, it is time to go on a tour of "jigoku".
The steaming spots, sometimes with hot mud gushing out, or of bloody red colour are known as jigoku (lit. hell) in Japanese.
Mysterious colors, roaring sounds, and hot spring eggs that differ
from place to place will allow you to experience the power of onsen with all your senses.
