At Sea Hell Hot Springs (Umijigoku) in Beppu, Japan, travelers will find themselves immersed in a surreal, otherworldly experience. This famous "hell" is one of the many hot spring attractions in Beppu, and it offers a unique, visually striking atmosphere. As visitors approach, the first thing they'll notice is the vibrant blue, ocean-like color of the hot spring's water, which is heated to a scalding temperature by the geothermal activity below. The vivid turquoise hue of the water contrasts beautifully with the surrounding lush greenery and the steam rising from the hot pools. Overall, Umijigoku offers an unforgettable experience of nature's raw power and beauty, blending the ancient tradition of hot springs with the mystery of the land's geothermal wonders.

60 min

Jinlin Lake, Jinlin Lake, where there is a legend that a dragon once lived, adds a mysterious touch to the lake. This legend may be related to the special phenomenon of the lake (the mist produced by the confluence of hot springs and clear water), which strengthens its "fairyland" atmosphere.

Admission not included30 min

The Stove Hell allows you to see six types of hell at once. There are hot mud gushing out from the ground, steam gushing out from the rocks, and other landscapes.

Disappointed

The tour was okay, but not exciting. Maybe I have seen too much similar. Yufuin is a tourist trap, full of food stalls & selling goods, probably overpriced. Beppu is okay if you have not seen bubbling waters before. We did not stop at Jinlin lake, I don't know why. The guide, Seven, was very average. Giving information by a link to your phone is not my idea of a good guide. Explained very little about what to see & where we were. A basic tour, but fully booked. Did not live up to the description of the tour.

An amazing adventure to Beppu

Wendy was a fabulous guide, travelling solo has been a challenge at times but Wendy was very understanding of my circumstances and made sure that I had my photo taken rather than let me struggle on my own. She explained what to expect before we arrived at our destination and then took us on an amazing adventure. I felt very lucky to have Wendy today as it is my last trip, I felt looked after & had an amazing adventure ending with yummy lemon ice cream
