別府の「地獄」は入浴には熱すぎ化学的に極端な、純粋に見るためにつくられた七つの壮観な地熱の泉だ。各地獄が異なる自然現象を見せる: 海地獄は溶けた鉱物でコバルトの青、血の池地獄は酸化鉄で鮮やかな赤、竜巻地獄は30分ごとに煮え立つ水を20m噴き上げる。水温は95℃から99.5℃に及ぶ。
別府は(イエローストーンに次ぐ)世界2位の地熱地帯の上に座し、2800超の活きた温泉源を持つ、この見る地獄は地下の熱活動のほんの一部に過ぎない。
Our angle on 別府地獄めぐり
Planning around the crowd
Its own posted hours are 8:00 to 17:00. That gives you exactly two windows you can plan from published information rather than from luck: be at the entrance for 8:00, or come late enough that 17:00 is your deadline. It lists 着実な歩みで七つ全ての地獄に2.5時間 as a typical visit, so the first slot is long enough to finish before the middle of the day. Everything between those two depends on the day, and we would be making it up if we told you otherwise.
