Visit all 7 Hells of Beppu in 1 day – Itineraries for Beppu Jigoku Meguri (別府地獄めぐり) Japan 🇯🇵

An onsen trip to Beppu isn’t complete without visiting the area’s seven hells, or jigoku [jee-go-koo]. Here’s how you can see them all, and where to linger, in just one day at this unique part of Japan’s Oita Prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu.

Volcanic activity, subterranean water flows, and distinctive mineral combinations have formed the character and color of each of the seven jigoku, which are:

🔥 Reddish-brown colored Chinoike Jigoku, or Blood Pond Hell

🔥 The geyser Tatsumaki Jigoku, or Tornado Hell

🔥 Blue-colored Umi Jigoku or Sea Hell

🔥 Gray mud Oniishibozu Jigoku, said to resemble a monk’s bald head

🔥 Shiraike Jigoku, or White Pond Hell, which neighbors an aquarium

🔥 Croc breeding habitat Oniyama Jigoku, or Crocodile Hell

🔥 Color-changing Kamado Jigoku, or Furnace Hell
