The Eight Hells Of Beppu, Japan (Plus Bonus Hell)

The Eight Hells Of Beppu: there isn’t a much more evocative name than that, is there? The Eight Hells are in fact a series of heated lakes (onsen) in the area around the seaside spa city of Beppu in Japan. The area sits on a huge amount of geothermal water: it’s the second largest area of heated water in the world and Beppu itself is a city of hot springs with around 80 public bathhouses.
