Walking around the spa town of Unzen, Nagasaki

After visiting the Old Onokiba Elementary School, we went to Unzen Onsen Hells (雲仙地獄 Unzen Jigoku). As the name suggests, this is a place where steam from hot spring blows out of the water. I've been there many times, but this is a must see place😁　

There are some way to go around the jigoku hot springs, but the first place I go was Hachiman Hell♨ The volcanic smoke had stopped rising, but it was buried by a landslide due to heavy rainfall in August 2021☔ The work is underway😔 

Walking down the main street, we went into the Seishichi Hell. 

Well... there's so much steam we were here😒 We can't see anything in front of our eyes😥

The Oito Hell. This is the sad story of a woman who punished in hell😭 Long ago, in Shimabara Castle, there was a woman named Oito (お糸) who lived a very wealthy life. But after having an affair, she killed her husband. This hell erupted around the time Oito was executed, and it is said that name was given to her to symbolize her warning that if you do bad things to others, you will fall down😨

Going up the stairs, we got another spot, the Daikyokan Hell. This is the area with the most active volcano in the hot spring, and is said to be the place where sinners who have lied during their lives fall. The name Daikyokan (大叫喚) comes from the fact that it sounds like a scream😱
