Three Hells

Hello! I am not keeping up at all with posting! We continue travelling around the country and are currently in Nagano. Hiked in snow today!

a bit different from today’s post from three of the seven Hell’s in Beppu!!

I don’t have my notes or maps in front of me so we are just going to have to wing it here. Basically there are 7 super hot springs boiling away that you can visit. Definitely not for bathing.

I think the first one we visited was the prettiest. The gardens and grounds were gorgeous.

Actually there were some spots you could have a foot bath. We didn’t though.

Amazing water colour here! Definitely hell like!

Yet on the other side of the building was another pool… Of this superb colour! Hissing and spitting away!!

On the end of the pole I suspect they were cooking a crate of eggs! It was all the rage to eat an egg cooked in the hot springs!

The smell was a bit whiffy ….

I am going to be lazy and just whack in the photos with minimum blather as I still need a shower and get to bed as there is another full day to do tomorrow!

We moved on to another Hell that was famous for the smooth bubbling clay.

It was only mildly bubbling.

Again, they set things out very aesthetically

Another footbath

Steamy rocks

And on the the third hell where they had bubbling mud and pretty pools!!

Well, there you have it! Some of the very cool natural hot springs of Beppu!

Time for bed for me!!
