About Beppu Hells Pass

Unlock the geothermal wonders of Kyushu with the Beppu Hells Pass, your ultimate ticket to exploring seven spectacular hot spring hells at a fraction of the regular cost. Whether you are marvelling at the cobalt blue waters of Sea Hell or the steaming crimson depths of Blood Pond Hell, this pass offers a seamless and budget-friendly journey into Japan's most dramatic volcanic landscapes.

Local Legends & Stories

According to the ancient Bungo Fudoki records, the desolate, smoke-filled landscape of the Iron Wheel and Kamegawa areas terrified early locals, who believed the barren, sulfurous terrain resembled the fiery underworld of Buddhist hell. This fearsome reputation kept people away for centuries, preserving the raw, untamed beauty of these geothermal vents until they were transformed into the celebrated sights they are today.

Must Do Experiences

Witness the mesmerizing cobalt blue waters of Sea Hell and enjoy the lush tropical gardens surrounding it.
Watch the dramatic, scheduled eruptions of Tornado Hell, one of the few natural geysers in the world.
Marvel at the striking blood-red, iron-rich waters of Blood Pond Hell while learning about its ancient textile dyeing history.
Indulge in unique hell-steamed snacks and onsen-boiled eggs available at the various gift shops and food stalls across the circuit.

Hidden Gems

Look out for the resident crocodiles at Ghost Mountain Hell, which has been breeding them using the natural geothermal heat since the 1920s.
Discover the foot baths scattered around the Sea Hell and Kitchen Hell areas, perfect for a quick, relaxing soak without needing a full onsen visit.
Visit the lesser-known White Pond Hell early in the morning to see the milky white water at its most vibrant before the daily crowds arrive.

What Makes it Special

The pass provides massive savings compared to buying individual tickets, allowing you to experience all seven iconic hells on one convenient, budget-friendly itinerary.
It offers a deep dive into the rich geothermal heritage and ancient folklore of Beppu, showcasing natural phenomena that have shaped local culture for centuries.
Travellers can opt for the premium package that includes reserved Shinkansen seating between Shin-Osaka and Hakata, ensuring a stress-free and comfortable journey to Kyushu.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to visit is early morning right at opening time to avoid the midday tour bus crowds and capture the steam beautifully in the crisp morning light. Autumn and spring offer the most pleasant weather for walking the outdoor circuits, while winter mornings provide a stunning contrast between the cold air and the thick, rising geothermal steam.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Use a polarizing filter or adjust your exposure to capture the vivid, saturated colors of the cobalt and blood-red ponds without washing out the reflections.
For the Tornado Hell geyser, check the eruption schedule posted at the entrance and use a fast shutter speed to freeze the dramatic burst of boiling water.
Embrace the atmospheric steam rising from the hells by shooting during the golden hour or early morning when the low sunlight illuminates the vapor.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When using the public foot baths, it is customary to wash your feet briefly if they are visibly dirty, and you must dry them completely with your own towel before walking on the surrounding pathways. Please refrain from throwing coins or any objects into the hells, as they are protected natural geological sites and local shrines. Maintain a quiet and respectful demeanor, especially near the small shrines and statues dedicated to the local deities scattered around the grounds.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

During the Beppu Hells Night Tour in select seasons, some hells are illuminated with dramatic lighting, offering a mystical and eerie evening experience.
In spring, the lush gardens surrounding Sea Hell and White Pond Hell bloom beautifully, creating a stunning contrast between the vibrant flora and the steaming geothermal ponds.
The annual Beppu Hells Meguri Festival often features special stamp rallies and limited-edition local snacks available only at the hell gift shops.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Never cross the safety barriers or attempt to touch the water, as the temperatures in the hells frequently exceed 90 degrees Celsius and can cause instant, severe burns.
Be mindful of the thick steam clouds that can occasionally drift over the walkways, which may temporarily reduce visibility and make the ground slippery.
Stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in the shaded areas, as the ambient heat from the geothermal vents can make the circuit feel much warmer than the actual weather.

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

The Beppu Hells Pass offers a heavily discounted bundled rate for all seven hells compared to purchasing individual admission tickets, with further reduced rates available for children. If you select the transport-inclusive option, the pass also covers your reserved Shinkansen fare between Shin-Osaka and Hakata, providing exceptional overall value for your Kyushu trip.

Visit Duration

Allocate at least three to four hours to comfortably explore all seven hells, including time for foot baths and souvenir shopping. If you are short on time, prioritize Sea Hell, Blood Pond Hell, and Tornado Hell for the most iconic and dramatic geothermal displays.

Accessibility

Most of the Beppu Hells feature paved, wheelchair-accessible pathways and accessible restrooms, though some minor gravel areas or steps may require assistance. Wheelchair rentals are often available at the main Sea Hell information center on a first-come, first-served basis.

Overview

The name "Hell" comes from the special geographical phenomenon of Iron Wheel and Turtle River. "Bungo Fudoki" records that Iron Wheel and the surrounding areas of Kamegawa have been emitting hot air, hot mud, and hot water for a long time. The area after the volcanic eruption was filled with sulfur and smog, and the high-temperature gas turned the rocks into clay. There was no grass for several kilometers, and it became a barren land. Seeing this desolate scenery, the Japanese couldn't help but feel fear and dare not approach it easily. Reminiscent of the hell scenes depicted in Buddhism, these places are called "hell zones", and the "hot pools" formed are called "hells". There are many hot springs in the Beppu area, and they are basically called hells. The most famous ones are the nine hot springs in Beppu, namely: Sea Hell, Onishifangzhu Hell, Kitchen Hell, Ghost Mountain Hell , White Pond Hell , Blood Pond Hell , Tornado hell .

About Beppu Hells Pass

Don't be fooled by the name! The Beppu hells, while called "hells" due to their otherworldly appearance, offer a captivating journey into the heart of Beppu's geothermal wonders. This volcanic region boasts a long history of spewing hot air, mud, and water, leaving behind a unique landscape. Imagine barren grounds sculpted by volcanic eruptions, steaming vents releasing puffs of sulfurous gas, and vibrant colored hot springs bubbling ominously. It's no wonder these geothermal features earned the name "hells," reminiscent of scenes from Buddhist mythology.

Beppu is a hot spring paradise, and the most famous ones are these very hells. Unlike your typical relaxing soak, the Beppu hells showcase the raw power of geothermal activity. Prepare to be mesmerized by the cobalt blue waters of the Sea Hell, chuckle at the bubbling mud pools resembling monks' heads in the Onishibozu Hell, or witness the intense heat used for traditional cooking methods at the Kitchen Hell. These are just a few of the nine famed Beppu hells, each offering a unique spectacle.
