This is a photo of Kawarage Hell in Akita Prefecture that I went to this summer. The yellow area is where sulfur is exposed, and toxic gas is also emitted, so there is a no-go area. It took us 6 hours round trip in the extreme heat to traverse a gravel mountain where not a single plant or tree grows. I wanted to soak in the Hot Spring at Oyu Falls at the foothills, but the intense heat made me have no energy and after returning to the inn, I enjoyed the Specialties mud Hot Spring until late at night
