Kamado Jigoku (かまど地獄, 'Cooking Pot Hell') is the most hands-on of Beppu's seven hells — in addition to viewing colorful hot springs (including cobalt-blue pools and orange-tinted ponds), visitors can experience interactive geothermal phenomena: a drinking fountain dispensing safe-to-drink 80°C onsen water, a steam inhalation booth, and a foot bath using hell water cooled to 42°C.

The name derives from the Edo-period tradition of using this hell's steam to cook rice offerings for nearby Hachiman Shrine festivals — the steam rising from the ground resembled a giant cooking pot (kamado).

인사이더 가이드

**Onsen tamago DIY:** Kamado Jigoku sells raw eggs that you steam yourself in the hell's geothermal vents (¥100 for 5 eggs, 12-minute cook time). Staff provide a timer and basket. The eggs achieve onsen tamago consistency — liquid yolk, barely-set white. Eat on-site or take away. **Drinking water challenge:** The drinking fountain dispenses mineral-rich onsen water cooled from 98°C to 80°C — drinkable but scalding hot and metallic-tasting. Locals believe it aids digestion. Sip slowly from the provided cups. The water is safe but an acquired taste. **Color-changing smoke trick:** The main pond produces white steam that staff demonstrate turning blue when blown with a fan — caused by minerals reacting to air pressure changes. The demo runs every 30 minutes and is included in admission.
