An Onsen That’s As Blue As The Ocean

Beppu is a city of tiled roofs, rising steam and historic hot spring resorts! With its numerous and diverse hot springs (different colored water, sizes and ways to use), Beppu has earned the reputation as a "hot spring paradise”. ♨️ Umi Jigoku or Sea Hell, was the first jigoku or hell that we visited. Formed after Mt. Tsurumaki erupted1300 years ago!! Of the many hells 地獄 of Beppu Japan’s “Jigoku Meguri” (Hell Tour), this is definitely one of the most beautiful. The hell is a pretty cobalt blue color, 98°C and over 200 meter deep, with very beautiful and dazzling appearance. An amazing natural phenomenon that you really have to see! There are also souvenir shops and galleries throughout the hells. The foot bath was really nice and relaxing after a good walk. At Umi Jigoku exit, be sure to also stop by to try the small sweet buns steamed in the Jigoku Mushi (the hell steam) called Gokuraku Manju. Very tasty!
