Meeting Point Pick up from a designated point in Beppu as per your request, such as the Cruise Terminal, JR Beppu Station, or your accommodation. Chi-no-ike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell) Visit Chi-no-ike Jigoku, where you can witness the striking crimson waters colored by iron oxide, alongside bubbling mud and vivid contrasts that make for an unforgettable sight. Yukemuri Observatory Head to Yukemuri Observatory for a breathtaking panoramic view of Beppu City. This hidden viewpoint, nestled in a residential area, offers a peaceful escape and is only accessible by car or taxi. Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) Continue to Umi Jigoku, known for its cobalt blue waters that boil at a scalding 98°C. Explore the mesmerizing beauty of this active hot spring and learn about the geothermal power behind its stunning appearance. Lunch at a Local Restaurant Stop for a flexible lunch at a local restaurant. I recommend trying jigoku-mushi, a local specialty where food is steamed using the mineral-rich steam from hot springs.

Experience the town's unique atmosphere and get a closer look at the age-old Japanese onsen culture.

Learn how mineral crystals are harvested from the geothermal steam and observe the fascinating process of making these natural products.
