We only did a day trip at JPY1200/pax for the onsen, did not stay at their ryokan. It is near bus stop but to note the timing of bus intervals as they are not frequent. Great onsen with magnificent view of Beppu Myoban Bridge. Unfortunately, ladies onsen was not on the first floor where the outdoor pools are on the day I was there (they will rotate between male and female baths). I have been to more beautiful and larger onsens in Japan before but Ebisuya gives the guests a relaxing feel especially the resting area at a corner of the lobby with resting chairs, smell of aromas, magnificent view of the bridge. There are some cute cat crops you can use to take souvenir photos too.

There are a total of 7 onsens to visit, each one has its own unique features. 5 onsens are located near each other, within walking distance. Take the bus to go to the other two. They have a one day bus pass for your unlimited rides, and get the packaged entrance tickets to make it more economical.

We quickly understood that this place sums up why the hells are called hells. Not only does it bubble and steam. It is blood red, too. It is a bus ride away from most of the other hells, just near the geyser hell. We made a mistake and went to this one before checking how long it was until the next geyser erruption. Best to check as soon as you get off the bus and then decide how to divide your time between the two. This hell was pretty spooky, partly because of its color, and the thick clouds of steam rolling off it. No real extras here, just a geothermal extravaganza.

If you're in Beppu, chances are you'll want to catch a glimpse of Hell - well, one of the super-hot Beppu versions anyway. And if you only have time to visit one of them, and want the best bang for your buck, then step this way to Kamado Jigoku. It's not the largest, nor the most elaborate, nor the most scenic; but it is the most comprehensive. Think of it as a Greatest Hits compilation of Jigokus - it's a little bit of every Jigoku in the area. There's a ocean-blue version similar to, if much smaller than, the one at Umi Jigoku; there's a bubbling mud one like Oniishibozu's; there's a milky white one and a bloody red one akin to those in Shiraike and Chinoike respectively. Additionally, there are some quirky features, like one where an Oni blows out steam that you can inhale, purportedly to relive sore throats, or which you can expose your skin to, supposedly to soften and smoothen it. It's all great fun, and you can even dig into hot spring-steamed yummies like eggs and vegetables. If this is hell, well, I can live with that.

Beppu is just a beautiful city with lots to see, especially the onsens and the 7 Hells Tour. The hotel is very classy and the dinner that was included was extremely filling. We had the best time. Very relaxing and would highly recommend it to others.
