[Beppu: A Tour of Hell]

There are several hells that can be reached in less than two hours by car from Fukuoka, where our Wakamatsu Showroom is located. There are seven hells in Beppu, Oita Prefecture: Umi Jigoku, Onishibozu Jigoku, Kamado Jigoku, Oniyama Jigoku, Shiraike Jigoku, Chinoike Jigoku, and Tatsumaki Jigoku. In Beppu, Oita Prefecture, a city of hot springs, visitors can tour seven hells.

The area around Kannawa and Kameyama, where the hells are located, has been described in the "Bungonokuni Fudoki" as a place where fumaroles, hot mud, and boiling water have been gushing out at a tremendous rate for more than 1,000 years.

The hell I had not seen since my first school excursion in elementary school was not at all like hell for me. It may be an exaggeration, but I could surely feel that I am living as a human being on this land.

Personally, I flinched a little at the crocodiles in Oniyama Jigoku and the drinking hot springs in Kamado Jigoku, but the steamed small baskets and steamed buns were hot, and my little worries seemed to disappear with the steam wafting all around.

If you have a chance, why not try the "Beppu Hell Tour"?
