Ok no long story to write for today as we rode 14.3 km round trip to the 8 Hell of Onsens in the hilly mountain slope in the rain. We bought one combined discounted ticket to visit all the 8 for 2000 yen,instead of paying 400 yen for each. This way we saved 1200 yen.Sit back,relax and take your time to enjoy the wonderful pictures.




Many places around Beppu you can see smoke from the underground Onsens
