Sea Hell

Seeing the long queue for tickets before entering Hell, I decisively bought tickets online. Then, staff led me directly to the counter to exchange them for tickets – no queuing required! Afterwards, you receive a small booklet containing the seven hells, with blank pages at the back of each hell for you to stamp as a souvenir! Awesome!

Our morning itinerary was too early; the shops in Hita Old Town weren't open yet. Our guide, Xiao Li, took us to Beppu Hell first, then we explored the area back. Surprisingly, almost no shops were open in Hita Old Town on a weekend afternoon 😅. There were only six of us in the group that day, and the minibus was very comfortable, with just enough space for everyone to put their souvenirs. Our guide, Xiao Li, was very thoughtful; he helped us arrange a comfortable itinerary, recommended local food and specialties, and even helped us carry our souvenirs.
