Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk's Hell)

Above is the path of the hell tour. We were walking to Oniishibozu Jigoku, or "monk's hell".
This hell is full of many mudpots. The thick mud puddles are bubbling in the ground. You can see and hear them. Below is a strange shot Markian took of me.

Above: All the steam coming up out of the rocks. Guess there were some vents under there.
Above: A Japanese style bridge in the middle of the mud pool.

Okay, so this is why it's called "monk's hell" The bubbly mud puddles look like the shaven heads of monks. That's what they say anyway...

A footbath is next to the bench, but yeah I still didn't have a towel at this point so I had to pass.
