The Hells' Number
Beppu Jigoku is a collection of eight spectacular hot springs, each with its own unique characteristics and vibrant colors, making it impossible to bathe in them due to their extreme temperatures.
Demon's Cauldron
The 'Oniishi Bozu Jigoku' (Monk's Head Hell) is named after the bubbling grey mud pools that resemble the shaven heads of Buddhist monks. 'Oni' translates to demon or ogre, a common motif in Japanese folklore.
The Oldest Hell
Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell) is famous for its vibrant red water, colored by iron oxides. It's considered the oldest natural 'hell' in Japan, dating back over 1,300 years.
