Scenic Photos of Kyushu - Oita Prefecture

Beppu's Five Famous "Hell-like" Hot Springs, known as the Blood red hot springs, the Ocean, the Stone-goblin, the Hot pot and the Mountain hot springs . The water temperature is more than 99 degrees Celcius. For English map, click http://www.beppu-jigoku.com/images/English.pdf










Along the scenic drive of Yamanami Highway, you can see green pastures where horses and cows lay resting in the sun or busy eating grass.

Unless you are allergic to eggs (like me), you can enjoy a freshly "hot springs" boiled egg, which supposedly contains a lot of minerals.

People of all ages stroll along the road of local towns, Beppu and Yufuin, where you can find various shops, from pottery to home-made roll cakes. Those who prefer not to walk can take a rickshaw or a horse wagon ride.
