Jigoku refers to the boiling water, fumaroles, and hot mud that erupt from 200 to 300 meters below the surface of the earth.
Each hell has its own unique color and composition, and they are concentrated in Kannawa Onsen.
The “Jigoku Meguri (Hell Tour)” is a typical sightseeing course in Beppu that takes visitors on a tour of eight different hells, including the cobalt blue “Umi Jigoku” (Sea Hell), the boiling red “Blood Pond Hell,” and the boiling water spewing up to 20 meters high “Tatsumaki Jigoku” (Tornado Hell).
