It's OK, but it's not like Yellowstone in any way. The bus situation to get there and the waiting involved didn't contribute much. If you are doing the 7 hells, I would pass on these last two because they eat up a lot of time and are just ok. The main detractor is the long wait to get a bus down to the location and the the mass exit as soon as the geyser erupts...and the resulting 3 bus wait to get back to the start.

It was quite interesting place. But too much waiting is required. And there’s no indicator by when next spout is coming out. + Not easy to come and go without Rental car. So -1 stars.

It’s the geyser hot spring. I was lucky enough to visit during “showtime” (when the geyser is most active). And wow, the geyser really spits out a lot of hot pressured water! Unlike the other parks, this one doesn’t have a big hot spring. Only a small one surrounding the geyser. A commonly missed thing about the park is that there’s a garden path behind but most tourists would just gather around the geyser.

Note: There are certain times it erupts so take some time if you're not sure when. We were just lucky to get there on time but we were in a rush. Nice to look at for a while. Would recommend getting the ticket for all 7 hells as you would save money on it.

If you are lucky enough, you can see this spectacular phenomenon immediately, otherwise, 30-40 minutes interval of squirt of hot water while duration is around 6-10 minutes each performance. Seating with over 100 covers in front of the fountain like a outdoor grand theater.
