Kawarage Jigoku, Volcanic crater and spiritual site in Yuzawa City, Japan
The volcanic landscape consists of four circular depressions spanning 500 meters in length and 300 meters across, with deep fumaroles along inner walls.
The Buddhist priest Gesso established this location in 807, marking the beginning of its recognition as one of Japan's three major sacred places.
The name Jigoku translates to 'hell' in Japanese, reflecting the intense geothermal activity and continuous steam emissions from numerous vents.
A 15-minute walk from the parking area leads to natural open-air baths, available for public use between early July and mid-September.
The Kawarage Oyutaki waterfall combines hot spring water with stream water, creating a 20-meter cascade of thermal water.
