    For over a thousand years, the gasses, hot mud, and boiling waters erupting from beneath the area from Kanawa to Kamegawa have led it to being called the Jigoku (Hells) of Beppu. In 2009, four hot springs, Umi (Sea) Jigoku, Chinoike (Blood Pond) Jigoku, Tatsumaki Jigoku, and Shiraike (White Pond) Jigoku were designated as National Places of Scenic Beauty. Visiting these four hot springs in addition to three other famous ones is fun and enjoyable. In addition to hot spring eggs (slow boiled in hot spring waters), hell-themed souvenirs such as Chinoike ointment, and Enman no Yu (bath salts) are popular to take home and give to friends. A 15-minute drive by car from JR Beppu Station.

    In 1923, for the first time in Japan, the breeding of crocodiles was started which used the heat from a hot spring—the place is also referred to as “Crocodile Hell”. There are a number of crocodile breeding areas surrounding the Jigoku pond, and the number of crocodiles kept there is roughly 70. At the weekend, there is also an event where a member of staff gives food to the crocodiles, so you can observe the exciting moment when the crocodiles are fed.

    Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell) is characterized by white water with a slight bluish tinge. It is clear when it gushes out, but when it comes into the pond, it changes color to this white color due to the drop in temperature and pressure. The pond is surrounded by a Japanese garden and a statue of Ippen Shonin (monk Ippen), who is said to have laid the foundation of Beppu hot spring resort. The tropical fish Aquaqrium using hot spring energy at the back of the site, which was renovated in 2019, houses and exhibits about 20 species of tropical fish, including pirarucu, piranha, and Asian arowanas that live in the Amazon, as well as alligator gars, an invasive alien species.

    10号線を別府から日出町へ車を運転しているときに気がつき、帰りに立ち寄りました。国道の海側にあるので別府方向への移動のときにしかはいれないと思います。小規模の道の駅ぐらいの物産販売がありました。食事処が意外にリーズナブルなのでお昼の時間だったら立ち寄ってここでランチにしたいと思いました。

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
