Southern Japan city of Beppu is set on a steaming collection
of geothermal hotspots. Here, you can bathe in a mineral-rich spring, get
buried up to your neck in warm sand, or you can sink into a mud bath. You can
also visit Chinoike Jigoku, the blood-red pond from hell. It is translated as
"Bloody Hell Pond," Chinoike Jigoku is one of the eight "Hells
of Beppu", where "hell" equals "touristy hot spring meant
for viewing, not bathing."
Japan is figuratively soaking in
hot-spring spas, though no place in the country gushes more thermal waters than
Beppu, on Kyushu’s eastern coast. This is spewing sufficient water to fill
3,600 swimming pools daily and encompassing the world’s second-largest hot
springs after Yellowstone United States.
Moreover, Beppu has long been one of Japan’s famous spa resorts, with
more than 11 million people visiting the city’s 80 public bathhouses annually.
However, every hell has a theme. Moreover
Shaven Monk's Head Hell is a pool of simmering mud, so this is easily called
the belching bubbles look like bald guys' noggins. Furthermore, sea Hell is a vivid
fake turquoise, while murky Demon Mountain Hell has been populated with a horde
of disconsolate crocodiles. None of it makes considerably sense, but the swirls
of steam that billow from for each pond make for dramatic photographs. Therefore,
Beppu has witnessed a spa revolution the past few years that has replaced
outdated, hangar-like bathhouses with new, sophisticated spas, many constructed
of soothing natural woods and surrounded by greenery
So, you can't go for a dip in any of the hells in accordance
with their name, they are too hot since but you can eat eggs, vegetables, and
pudding that have been cooked in the springs. Moreover, on your way out, please
don't forget to pick up some relaxing skincare products made from the crimson
sludge of Bloody Hell Pond. But while Beppu has reinvented itself in a bid to
attract Japan’s younger generation, it still remains wildly popular with older
vacationers, and many of its attractions are so endearingly old-fashioned – if
not downright hokey.
