Umi Jigoku
Umi Jigoku boasts of being the largest among the Beppu Jigoku hot springs. The beautiful cobalt blue color is due to iron sulphate in the hot spring water. Royal water lilies and tropical water lilies are cultivated using the heat from the hot spring and the flowers will be at their best from early May until early November. At the Bon Festival event, lower grade elementary school children (up to 20 kilograms) can get on the leaves of the royal water lilies that float in the pond. There is also a footbath. The hot spring has been designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty.

- Just buy a single ticket for this one
- In this one not only there is the blue umi jigoku, there is also a smaller red, chi jigoku. Just come to this one, dont be a sucker and buy that 2,000 yen pass for all 7. The hells are not...

- Surprisingly fun!
- Start with Umi Jigoku and follow the path to see them in the most efficient order. Lots of steam in the winter!
