Chinoike Jigoku (Blood pond hell) is,
indicated as "red hot spring" in "Bungo no kuni Fudoki",
a writing compiled during the Nara period.
It is the oldest natural hell in Japan
existing from over 1,300 years ago.
Because of its rarity, it was designated in 2009 as the National Site of Scenic Beauty. To describe Chinoike Jigoku in one phrase, it would be "A pond of red and hot mud." From the old times, ointments were made from this red hot mud (currently known as Chinoike ointment) and cloths and pillars were also colored with it
