Beppu - Umi-Jigoku (海地獄 Sea Hell) and Yukemuri observatory 湯けむり展望台

Umi-Jigoku (海地獄 Sea Hell)

559-1 Kannawa, Beppu, Oita 874-0000, Japan

I had great plans for Beppu. There are jigoku aplenty here. And i had shortlist at least 5 of them to visit.  But i experience what you call 水土不服 and ended up throwing up endlessly throughout the day. I ended up only visiting Umi-jigoku and went back to the hotel to rest up for the day. 



Famous with hot spring with bright blue color due to the large amount of iron sulfate. 

The cafe beside the hot spring serves onsen cooked hard boiled eggs. 



You can also do a foot soak here as well. 

 At the main entrance there is shop selling mini mantou which is worth a try. Its small and cute and tasty.

Yukemuri observatory 湯けむり展望台

Japan, 〒874-0042 Oita, Beppu, 鉄輪東8組

Nestled in a residential area, its a view of the Beppu with all the little chimney smoke of the city. 

Did a quick pit stop here. The observatory was en-route to Yufuin so its not much of a detour to come here. It was quiet and not crowded but there were only limited parking lots here. 

The smoking chimneys aren't very obvious at this time.
