Beppu Jigoku Meguri (Beppu Hell Tour) is one of the most famous sightseeing attractions in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, Japan. It consists of several unique hot springs, each with its own distinctive color, temperature, and natural features, such as boiling mud, steaming ponds, and vivid mineral deposits. Unlike regular hot springs for bathing, these “hells” are for viewing only, showcasing the raw power of Beppu’s geothermal activity. Each “hell,” including Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) and Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell), offers a different atmosphere and cultural background, giving visitors a fascinating glimpse into Japan’s volcanic nature.

Kannawa Onsen District is one of Beppu’s most atmospheric hot spring areas, known for its charming old streets filled with rising steam from countless onsen vents. The area is home to traditional bathhouses, ryokan inns, and small local eateries where visitors can enjoy Beppu’s famous “hell-steamed” cuisine (Jigoku Mushi). Strolling through Kannawa offers a glimpse into Beppu’s traditional onsen culture, where daily life and geothermal energy coexist in harmony.
