What is the “JIGOKU MEGURI (HELL TOUR)”?
—Exploring the origins of the name “Hell”—

“Beppu JIGOKU MEGURI (HELL TOUR)” is a tourist spot with close-up views of the hot spring sources, which reach nearly 100 degrees, known as “Hell”.

This tour takes you on a journey through the seven stages of “Hell” - Umi Jigoku, Oniishi Bozu Jigoku, Kamado Jigoku, Oniyama Jigoku, Shiraike Jigoku, Chinoike Jigoku, Tatsumaki Jigoku, where variations in the hot spring ingredients show up as magnificent variations of blue, red, and white color.

The Kannawa and Kamegawa regions of Beppu City, Oita, where the “JIGOKU MEGURI (HELL TOUR)” hot springs are located, have long been known to spout gases, hot mud, and boiling water dating back to over 1,000 years ago, and were once thought of as a cursed land to be avoided. This led to the landscape being given the “Hell” moniker, and the hot spring vents are still referred to as “Hell” in Kannawa even today.
