A mini version of Yellowstone Park or Japan's very own Beppu's Hells, Unzen Hells had a much closer view of the bubbling (?) and smoky "hells" than the others, giving it a more otherworldly feel.
I do feel that Osorezan with its history and religious significance resonated more with me, but if that history and context was added with Unzen, Unzen will be the scarier (?) of the two.
Budget: JPY0 (~USD0)
- Free
- Transport wise, I already was in the area because I hiked Mt. Unzen.
Visit Date
- December 25, 2022
When to Go
Anytime during the year.
Special Notes
- Google maps pin.
- Just something to do if are already in Mt. Unzen area.
- They have onsen-cooked eggs for JPY230 / 2 eggs. I just ate lunch when I visited so I decided to skip it.
- Just visit if you are in the area. Walking past the entire area takes less than 30 minutes.

| Where they cook the eggs. |
 |
| Very foggy onsen. |
 |
| Had the entire onsen to myself. Apparently the entire "muddy" feel of the water is a unique feature??? |
 |
| My accommodations! Solo room for about JPY5,000. Yes, this is a pretty expensive place. |
