Beppu, Oita - Hotspring wonderland!
Beppu's like one of the most famous places in the world for hotsprings! their underground water is also hotspring! so everyhousehold can tap into the ground water and enjoy hotspring baths everyday! and that's why the town's full of chimneys sprouting hot steam..even their drainage covers emit steam from time to time!! :)
There are 7 or 8 "Jigoku"s (meaning hell) in Beppu. they are actually volcanic pools or hotsprings that develop from volcanic activities above and below ground..they're so-called hells coz they are almost all near boiling point (yes, cannot enter. u will be cooked alive). and constantly, sizzlingly, spitting steam . :)
they have interesting colours too! and interesting names due to their diff colours.. we only went to two but they were impressive enuff
but the sulphur smell is super bad, as i found out the stupid way by submerging my face in a billow of steam. n ur towel and hair stinks like rotten eggs after a hotspring bath. and ure NOT supposed to wash up after one just so the minerals can work on ur skin. but woa lao. sibeh smelly!
UMI no JIGOKU (Sea Hell)
waters are cobalt blue! got a video damn nice but too large to upload..
