Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell)
血の池地獄Oita · Kyushu
Located in the Noda/Shibaseki district roughly 2km from the main Kannawa hells cluster, Chinoike Jigoku is Japan's oldest natural hot-spring hell, with a documented history of over 1,300 years. Its pond gets its vivid rust-red color from iron oxide and clay minerals dissolved in the 78°C water.
