    Located in Noboribetsu, the beautiful and spectacular Noboribetsu Hell Valley is a scenic area. Formed by volcanoes, this valley is blessed with hot springs reaching temperatures of 80 degrees Celsius. The scent of sulfur can be smelled from time to time, and even the hot springs have a yellowish color. The magnificent Oyunuma Pond is truly breathtaking, making it a must-see. Noboribetsu Hell Valley truly lives up to its reputation!

    It's great value for money, just a 15-minute walk from Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley). Not crowded, but it has everything you need. I recommend following my map to see the whole area; the time is just right. You can save taking photos for last.

    A "village" with a strong Edo-era style. The buildings inside are undoubtedly interesting for tourists who like Japanese Warring States culture, but they are limited to buildings. With the blessing of the snow, the scenery can be given 4.5+, but it may only be 4 points on weekdays. But it is very interesting. There are many interesting small projects in the village to experience, such as the monster house, ninja experience and other free projects, and other projects that can be experienced for 500 yen. Not only that, there are four performances of three different themes of "Ninja, Samurai, and Oiran" every day, and the time of each round can just connect. For me personally, the fun of the performance is: Samurai> Ninja> Oiran, but they are all interesting. After all, these performances are already included in the ticket. You can experience the culture of the Edo period in person, which is worth the trip. The biggest disadvantage is the price. The price of 159 per adult is really a bit expensive. Although it may be because of the high prices in Japan, it is indeed expensive. After the overall visit, including watching three performances, it is only about 2 hours, which is slightly not worth it. Therefore, it is recommended that tourists who are not history fans/Japanese Warring States fans should consider carefully. I was traveling alone and did not have the opportunity to take photos. If you are traveling as a couple, I recommend renting a set of clothes in the park to take some beautiful photos for your girlfriend. I believe she will be very happy (

    The Noboribetsu area is a volcanic area. The abundant geothermal heat and precipitation create hot springs, making it the most popular hot spring resort on the island, known as "Japan's No. 1 Hot Spring". There are hot spring hotels and shops on both sides of Noboribetsu Hot Spring Street. Many of the goods in the shops are related to ghosts. Walking in the town, you can see many sculptures about ghosts, and there are various sacrificial activities in different seasons.
