Boasting Japan's Highest Onsen Water Volume:
Kamado Jigoku (Hell) Onsen

A must-see onsen retreat in Beppu! Visit the most famous Kamado Jigoku Onsen among the seven 'Hell' onsens. The name 'Kamado Jigoku' originates from the practice of cooking rice with approximately 90°C onsen steam to offer to the gods during the grand festival of Kamado Hachimangu Shrine. From the 1st Mud Hell, where clay melts and boils at 90°C, to the 2nd Hell, where 100°C steam erupts between rocks, the 3rd Hell with its cobalt blue color due to dissolved non-crystalline silica, the 4th Mud Hell where underground bedrock melts and erupts, the 5th Hell where you can enjoy Mr. Honda's Hell Steam Show made famous on TV, and the 6th Hell with its dark brown color due to dissolved iron components!

You can enjoy every corner of Kamado Jigoku. Embark on a tour of the six hells and fall in love with the charm of onsens that boast various colors depending on the composition of the onsen water.
