  (Provided by service)Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell) is characterized by white water with a slight bluish tinge. It is clear when it gushes out, but when it comes into the pond, it changes color to this white color due to the drop in temperature and pressure. The pond is surrounded by a Japanese garden and a statue of Ippen Shonin (monk Ippen), who is said to have laid the foundation of Beppu hot spring resort. The tropical fish Aquaqrium using hot spring energy at the back of the site, which was renovated in 2019, houses and exhibits about 20 species of tropical fish, including pirarucu, piranha, and Asian arowanas that live in the Amazon, as well as alligator gars, an invasive alien species.
