Blissful Time Surrounded by Animals

Small Zoo with Great Charm

Yama Jigoku, one of the hells in Beppu. As the name suggests, this place used to be a type of hell with volcanic heat. However, today it has been transformed into a small zoo, bringing happiness to the visitors.

Pleasure of Feeding Goats and Rabbits

Yama Jigoku is home to adorable animals such as goats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. You can purchase feed for 100 yen, and when you hold it, they will come close to you and start eating from your hand. It is a great joy to stroke their soft fur and observe the innocent expressions of the animals up close.

Precious Experience of Interacting with Animals in Nature

Yama Jigoku stands in a tranquil natural environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are not many opportunities to get close to animals while surrounded by greenery. It is a place where you can be delighted by the lively appearance of the animals and gently relieve the fatigue of your daily life.

Fascinating Tourist Attraction Without Getting Bored

In addition to goats and rabbits, a variety of animals such as horses, capybaras, and parrots await you. Each animal has its own unique personality, and as you observe them, you will not get bored. This is a place filled with charm that everyone, from children to adults who love animals, can enjoy.

Such a sad place. Honestly if I was Japanese I would denounce them to the authorities. The animals are crowded, dirty, and visibly depressed. The smell of excrement is overpowering. The lone geyser is small and unimpressive. Totally overpriced but also just so incredibly disturbing to visit. We sped through to get out of there. Maybe the saddest thing was the lone goat tied to a post near the exit. This place is just inhumane and cruel. It needs to be shut down. I’m so sad after visiting.

Here, look for the mountain by name. I don't know where I am. The surrounding area is like a small zoo zone. Where many animals live together. If you want to get close, you can also buy food for the little ones.

A very small zoo, in which the animals are not kept well. On the day we visited it was over 30 degrees celcius, and there was a baby goat on a short leash at the entrance. He was there at least for 5 hours as we visited the Hells, and he kept calling for his mom every time we saw him. He had no food, no companions and had to stand on concrete the entire day. Do not visit this zoo for the sake of the animals.

It’s a very small zoo. It took around 30mins to get here from the station. There was just 1 sad and lonely capybara and it wasn’t even in the onsen.

Sad place. Profit is more important than animal welfare. Animals are sick and cages are far too small, bare and offer no place for the animals to retreat. Not species-appropriate.
