Blood Hell - Foot Massage
In the onsen-city of Beppu, one of the main touristic attractions are the so-called 'Hells'. They are natural hot springs, which are too hot to be used for bathing and are visually nice for different reasons.
We visited the Umi-no-Ike Jigoku 'Sea Pond Hell' and the Chi-no-Ike one, 'Blood Pond Hell', which receive their names from the color of the water, blue and red, respectively. It was not unusual that part of the next-to-boiling water was used for a foot massage bath... if you want to have an idea of the water temperature just have a close look at our faces!
