Jigoku Onsen Museum

This space depicts the decades-long transformation of rainwater into hot spring water through immersive digital art and storytelling. Wander through the light and sound installations that envelop the entire space, experiencing the unique charm and cultural depth of the hot spring city, Beppu.

Sea Hell (Umi Jigoku)

This is Beppu's largest Jigoku Onsen, captivating visitors with its refreshing cobalt blue hot spring pond. The white steam rising from the pond creates a mystical atmosphere, and there are small joys to be found, such as the giant water lilies cultivated with the hot spring's heat and the local hot spring-boiled eggs.

Monk Hell (Oniishi Bozu Jigoku)

This spot is named for its gray, viscous mud that bubbles and bursts in round shapes, resembling a monk's shaved head. You can marvel at the powerful steam erupting at nearly 100 degrees Celsius from the 'Kanetsu-sen' (heat-generating spring) and enjoy a relaxing soak in the warm footbath available in the garden.

"It's a sensory journey where you can appreciate the time it takes for a single drop of rainwater to become hot spring water through media art, and personally experience the magnificent Jigoku Onsen of nature with all your senses."
