Jigoku Meguri -- Famous Hell Tour

We've arrived in Beppu and our first stop is Hell. Jigoku takes its meaning "burning hell" from the ancient Buddhist sutras of the East. It is reminiscent of the hellish dipictions portrayed in Dante's poem. This tour is a very famous tourist attraction. We're entering Umi Jigoku -- Sea Hell. Hmmm -- Hell is a lot more appealing than we imagined . ..
