Order eggs boiled in naturally scorching pond of Umi Jigoku as its steam rises from the cobalt-blue surface. Formed over 1,300 years ago, this boiling 200 m (600 ft) deep volcanic wonder of nature is considered the grandest of eight similar "sea hells" in the area. However, if you prefer something more tranquil, visit the gardens with lotus-covered ponds or take a foot bath in milder hot springs. You can also taste egg custard, a local specialty. With our online itinerary creator, Beppu attractions like Umi Jigoku can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

It's amazing. The whole city of Pepbu. There is smoke from the hot springs. Up in the sewer, which house or whose area has a fountain eye? The Japanese government. It is allowed to build astride buildings. and can trade Jigoku natural springs are very beautiful and wonderful, with blue and red water, each pond is unique.

Perhaps the most popular of the “hells” in Beppu, this one offers a large cobalt-blue pool as well as a smaller rusty-red one to enjoy looking at. It’s also kind of fun when the wind blows the sulphur-smelling steam over you. I’d like it if there was a bit more information provided about them, and having to walk through the gift shop to get to the main pool feels a little cheeky, but an enjoyable experience overall.
