Jigoku, a boiling spring (known as a hell), in Beppu just west of Oita is one of the many hells here. There are also onsens (hot spring baths). A group of us went to a mud onsen which left your skin smelling of sulphur and skin feeling soft. The hot water courses through beppu streets and drains and this town is 'steamy' as a result. A fantastic place. Quaint shops, Japanese architecture, beautiful mountains and the flat sea.
