We are in the prefecture of Ōita, located on the Kyushu Island, and are in the town of Beppu. We were so fortunate as Beppu is famous for its hot springs, which are known as the 'hells', or jigoku. Some are certainly not for bathing notably the Blood Pond Hell, with its reddish water (see photo), but we made good use of those which were! Asides from the usual hot water baths, there are sand baths, where were were buried in naturally heated sand, steam baths and mud baths, which are basically muddy hot water baths. I'm so relaxed, not sure if I can face doing any miles tomorrow!
By the way we did 98 miles today...
