The Bloody Pond is a bewitching beauty. In Japan, on the island of Kyushu, not far from the city of Bellu, there is a real miracle of nature - the Bloody Pond, whose history goes back more than 1300 years. Its mesmerizing beauty is incomparable with any place on the planet.

Looking at the photos, one might think that this place was created by people specifically to shoot horror films. The environment is indeed a little creepy, and it's natural, because the water in the Bloody Pond is red.

Blood Pond is a very famous landmark. A lot of legends are associated with it, but local residents claim that the suffering souls of sinners live at the bottom of the spring.

Many tourists who visited the red spring talk about its different shades of water, and it’s worth saying right away that they are all right. The color of the water in Bloody Pond changes depending on the weather. For example, during a thunderstorm, this place looks especially creepy - the water darkens and becomes rich red, like real blood. On cloudy or rainy days, the water takes on a bright scarlet hue, and on sunny days it turns orange-scarlet.

Be sure to mention the amazing landscape that surrounds the "reservoir". Its shores are decorated with large boulders, exotic plants and trees. The steam rising above the red surface of the water enhances the overall impression.

The Blood Pond is a thermal spring located in a small underwater cave that emits large amounts of hot water daily. The water temperature can reach + 90 degrees Celsius. Even above the "bloody" waters, you can see the release of vapors that come from small active volcanoes located on the coast.

A huge number of travelers come to see this natural, amazing miracle, frightening and somewhat bewitching.

It is very easy to get to the Bloody Pond - there are planes, high-speed trains, buses and taxis at the service of tourists. The journey from Oita Airport takes no more than thirty minutes.

The Japanese say that this place is Hell - hot, bloody and scary. However, from a scientific point of view, such an unusual color of water can be easily explained. The main reason is iron oxide, which stains the water. It is contained in the source, in very large quantities.

Of course, it is better to see with your own eyes this wonderful combination of natural phenomena. This place must be "felt with the skin."

Locals believe that the bloody pond of the city of Beppu is the real gate to hell, where the souls of sinners live. A kind of confirmation of this is the color and temperature of the reservoir: as you probably already guessed, the pond has a blood-red color, which gives it a kind of mystical eerie halo. The water temperature here reaches eighty degrees, and every 30-40 minutes steam rises above the lake, making it even more frightening. You probably don't want to swim there.

To the great disappointment of locals and tourists, this pond is not at all because it is a portal to hell. The cause is iron oxides dissolved in water, and the temperature is due to the proximity of magma and hot geysers. Nothing supernatural, but still interesting and fascinating. Bloody Pond is an amazing place, contrasting, picturesque and beautiful.


This place is very popular with tourists, and this is not at all surprising - who would not want to take a look at such a rare natural phenomenon, and even surrounded by bright greenery that pleases the eye. Complete comfort has been created here for travelers, and almost the entire infrastructure of a small town is designed for tourists.
