Beppu

We then visited Beppu, which is located on the northeast coast of Kyushu. We visited two of the "hells" while we were there. The first "hell" we visited was Umi Jigoku. Before seeing the main hot spring attraction, we passed a beautful pond with lilypads and huge lotus leaves, the likes of which I had never before seen. We then reached the main attraction, which was a bit difficult photograph because of all of the steam.













We visited a second "hell." This one was called Oniishibouzu Jigoku.





We splurged and spent the night in a Japanese ryokan and enjoyed dinner in our room.





The next morning we visited a nearby monkey park.
