Your Experience
Zao Jigoku Onsen is located in Oita Prefecture, where the flow of hot spring springs ranks first in Japan. It is one of the hot springs in Jigoku Onsen, a hot spring tourist attraction in Beppu City. Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of steaming sacrificial offerings with 90°C hot spring steam during major sacrifices at Zaomen Hachimangu Shrine, hence the name Zaomen Hell. Although Zao Hell Park is small, you can have different experiences in each scenic spot, such as drinkable hot spring water, facial steam SPA, free foot bath experience, etc. It is worth mentioning that the hot spring eggs here, after being heated by the steam of Hell Hot Spring, exude a different aroma when the eggshell is peeled off, especially when dipped in special soy sauce, it is even more delicious . It's hard to imagine that such a layered delicacy can be harvested from a small egg. In addition, it also provides delicious and mellow hot spring pudding, farm corn and other hell-steamed series. You can taste delicious food while soaking in the foot bath. There is nothing more pleasant than this.
