The miraculous nature of the chain, the small hell kettle hot spring
The hot spring of the small hell kettle standing on the pilgrimage road of Mt. Osore exudes a spooky atmosphere, as if it were the entrance to hell, with a strong smell of sulfur and steam enveloping the valley like the entrance to another world.
The hot water gushing from the source is a dense gray color, and it is a high-quality hot spring with floating hot spring flowers. Walking around the hot water accumulated on the riverbank, you can feel the warm hot spring steam. If you bring a shovel, you can also dig a small hot spring pool and enjoy a foot bath.
The hot spring gushes vigorously from the pot-shaped spring outlet. The eerie atmosphere of this place comes from the fact that it has been feared as the entrance to hell since ancient times. However, it is also a precious place where you can experience the mysterious power created by nature.
Due to the high concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas, do not approach on days with weak wind, and it is recommended to carry a gas mask. If you dig a hot spring pool, be sure to restore it to its original state.
How about visiting the mysterious hot spring area of the small hell kettle surrounded by strange rocks emitting the scent of sulfur? A fresh experience awaits, filled with the power of nature and unique scenery.
