The first Venue, Fujiya Gallery, is a former inn, built in 1899, with a beautiful Japanese garden, and has been rennovated as an arts space. Here we see an installation by Qiu Zhijie.
Pipes and steam everywhere.
Another piece by Qiu Zhijie, next to the spring water cooling system.	The structure is made of bamboo and apparently cools 100C water down to 40-45C very efficiently.
Now time to walk up the hill, to go and look at more Jigoku.
White Pond Hell - it's more blue than white.
Posing with another red demon, at Demon Mountain Hell.	Here they keep crocodiles in warm spring water.
Another one yawning... no, it's two of them.	And another two.
Next, Bonze Hell, so called because the erupting mud looks like a bonze's shaved head. (Unfortunately I didn't get a decent close-up shot...)
Before moving onto the next Jigoku, we stop at a cafe outside and order some snacks - to be cooked with steam coming out of the earth (right).
Fish cake with baby sardines and kabosu (a local citrus fruit similar to yuzu) pepper flavour.	Steamed Tako sushi: sticky rice with very tasty octopus pieces, shiitake, finely chopped omlette and ginger.
Usakousa watching eggs being slow-boiled in a basket at Ocean Hell. (You can buy them at the souvenir shop.)
