The cobalt blue color gives the water a very beautiful and dazzling appearance. ③ Oniishi Bozu Jigoku Oniishi Bozu Jigoku (Hell of the Monk’s Head) is an ancient hot spring that pumps out hot gray mud in a way that resembles a monk’s head. The hot mud that was scattered over the rich fields long ago due to volcanic activity under Beppu made it impossible for rice to grow and people to live securely. This is why local people called it “hell”. These strange natural phenomena attracted the public’s attention and visitors began to walk along the paths where hot mud emerged from the inferno to take a closer look.
