Jigoku Mushi - Beppu

Get a number from the counter first before getting your meal ticket from the machine. There will be a wait before your number is called, and you can hand them your number tag and meal ticket. After you hand it to them, they will start getting your food ingredients ready and give you steam box number, timer, etc. head to the steam room, and there will be someone there to help you. You just put the food in, when the timer goes off, take it out, that's all. The food is fresh but tasteless, and there is no other seasoning but soy sauce on the table. Bring your own seasoning if you can't it bland food. Otherwise, it's a cool experience.

Had to wait 30 min, food was average but it was all about experience. They don't speak English but the service and helpful staff was great and helped all the way. Highly recommend if you are in the area

There was a long line but we took the number first and strolled around so when we came back we could just enter right away. You can buy the food from the vending machine and you will be able to put it inside the steam. Once you wait for 15 minutes, you can take it out and start eating. Pretty cool experience.

You got to come here at 10 am and I still had to wait 20 minutes!! But the it got even more crowded with much longer waiting time and hunting for tables! So better get here as early as possible. It is relatively expensive but fun, they let you place the food platter in the steamer by yourself and also pick it up (under staff's supervision) and they are soooo cute the old and young ladies in the kitchen and ready to help and film you while you are cooking it! Definitely coming here every time when visiting Beppu. The steam is slightly salty and it will give a good flavor to the pork meat!! Didn't apply any sauces to it because it was just delicious with salt. You can and should bring your own BEER because they don't sell drinks and there are vending machines for juice and tea, coffee. Also before you come here definitely go the the best hot spring in Beppu, the Mushi Yu with steam sauna over a bed of real herbs! There too go as early to beat the crowds!

Got the seafood set (1700yen) and steamer usage fee (400yen) Really great experience of steaming your own food using the steaming system operated by the natural steam from the hot springs The food turned out really sweet in taste Dollar for dollar, not say value for money but definitely a good experience 8/10
