Tatsumaki Jigoku, or Tornado Hell, is a unique hot spring attraction in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, known for its geyser. Located near Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell), it features a natural intermittent hot spring that erupts approximately every 30-40 minutes. The eruptions last for about 6-10 minutes, shooting hot water and steam into the air. While a stone roof contains the eruption for safety, it's still a sight to behold. Consider visiting Tatsumaki Jigoku first to check the eruption schedule before exploring the nearby Blood Pond Hell. It's accessible by bus from Beppu Station.
