Beppu. My guidebook says: The city's porous skin is punctured by an infinite number of vents from which steam continuously rises, making it feel at times like a huge, malfunctioning boiler room.

Panorama (3 shots). On the way to visit Beppu, we left the motorway at Yufuin and travelled through the mountains. We were on our way to see the 9 Boiling Hells at Beppu. These are pools of very hot water escaping from vents, and coloured by the surrounding minerals.
