Amai In Fukuoaka (III)

Today's tour was "Jigoku Meguri" in Beppu. The highway bus took about 2 and a half hours to reach Beppu but we had to take another bus to "Jigoku Meguri".
"Jigoku Meguri" consists of 9 phemomenal, natural hot spring sites which conjure up images of the ellish depths of the "Inferno" as protrayed in the great Medieval poem by Dante. Hot water gushes forth from the ground , roaring an rumbling fiercely, as numerous enormous crocodiles jostle violently with each other.
The crocodiles came from Sarawak, Malaysia. In one of the spring site, they showcased unique animals that choose to live near to these volcanic grounds and also aquariums of exotic fishes and piranhas.
Different spring sites give off different colours due to its naturally spouts from the ground.

Here are some other pictures taken beautifully by ML.



Large and small bubbles of hot gray mud that boil up to almost 100 degrees celsius.



You can also use the hot spring water to make hot-boiled eggs. Can you spot those eggs in the picture?



Just me. ^^



The statue of "The Eight Immortals" was a gift from China to Japan in 2005.



Shopping fun again. (LOL)
