  
  The “hells” (  jigoku  ) of Beppu are nine spectacular hot springs for viewing rather than bathing. Seven of the hells are located in the   Kannawa   district and two in the more remote   Shibaseki   district. The   Chinoike Jigoku   or ‘blood pond hell’  features a pond of hot, red water. It is the most photogenic of the nine hells.
