Onishibozhu Hell is one of the eight hell hot springs of Beppu's sightseeing route "Hell Tour", and it is also a distinctive one. In Japan, Fangzhu means a monk. The gray hot mud is boiling in the pool and bubbling out continuously. The large and small bubbles are shaped like a monk's head, hence the name Ghost Stone Fangzhu Hell. This hell has an air vent called Ghost Snoring, which makes a loud rumbling sound.
