熱血九州《夏》 {#5 別府 - Beppu} ~The Geothermal Parks ~

Beppu City is located in the middle of Oita Prefecture, is backed by Tsurumi Volcano Group and faces the sea. The city is full of hot springs. 

It is the number one in Japan for hot springs, global ranking following by the world's Yellowstone National Park.  There are more than 200 public hot springs in the city. Among the 11 categories of hot springs in Japan, the Beppu Onsen has 8 of them, which is also named as the Beppu Eight Soup.

Steam could be seen everywhere around Beppu

*******

山地獄
The Hell of Mountain
It is a combination of conservatory and animal zoo....

and some cactus

the zoo with monkeys, flamingos and short-legged horses

Then you will see a 'opened' peacock!
This is the first time I saw this in my life.

The butt and versus between the gender

You will be drifted away by the zoo and conservatory thing, but mann... It should be the hot spring that's the most important...


 ********

海地獄
The Hell of the Sea
By the entrance, is the gigantic lotus leaves.

So on some of the specific days, 
kids are allowed to drift above these leaves.

Then here comes the best and my most favourite hot spring!!
The lady's tiffany blue!!


You can also cook your own hot spring eggs here.
Trust me, it's one of the best in my life.

Also, it is super important to by the hot spring powder from the Hell of Sea.

Again and AGAIN! Trust me!!!

This one is the best one I have in life.
 From the colour to the smell, it is just a simple copy of the hot spring  you saw.


Then my stupid Ray is playing in the steam like Matrix...

Behind the Hell of the Sea is a little mountain.
A nice viewpoint of the hot spring.

Again some more lotus.

The hot spring fed pudding<3
Lovely tasted, must try!

(Forgot whats this one///)
The hot spring of the Reds

鬼石坊主地獄
The Hell of the gatekeeper
This is my second favourite one
the bubbling mud pool!


Nicely designed landscape<3

かまど地獄
 The Hell of Furnace
This is like a mix of all hot springs you have been seeing earlier in the day...

The Red one

The Hell of Sea miniature

However, the most interesting is the steaming area! 
 They offers the steam to be ejected from different levels hence you can enjoy it for your face, hands, feet, etc

Here comes the new Furnace Pool



Miniature of the Hell of Blood

In this All-in-One hot spring, the foot bath wont be missed

Hence the best hot spring egg in the area.
This one is the BEST in Beppu 
(Like I tried every single one I could have found in the area....)

********

鬼山地獄
Hell of Ghosts
The pool in pale green

And the crocodile....

*******
白池地獄

 血の池地獄
The Hell of Blood
It is better to see the hot spring from a higher angle, as the steam is too thick
