Hell Valley

Hokkaido Top 4 in Can't Miss Attractions

Unique and rare landscape

Hell Valley is volcano where you can see the hot water and volcanic gas gush out. This is a popular and famous tourist destination.

With dreamy white smoke and a special smell of sulfur, Noboribetsu Onsen is not only a well-known hot spring in Hokkaido, but also a famous spot for viewing autumn leaves. In autumn, the maple leaves turn red, and the hot springs are matched with red leaves. Feel the warm and charming beautiful scenery. On the south side of the Oyunuma Observatory, you can see the panoramic view of Oyunuma and autumn leaves.

Traveling in Noboribetsu in winter, you can not only enjoy the wonders of Jigokudani, but also play in the snow~ Tickets for Noboribetsu Jigokudani are free. Almost everyone who comes to Noboribetsu for a vacation will choose to come here to check in. We live in the first Takimoto, and it is super convenient to walk to Jigokudani~ Jigokudani's snow scene is also very shocking. The people of the magic city rarely see snow, so it is a great fun! Along the way, you will see a large area similar to a forest. The snow is so thick that even the deck chairs are covered by snow. You can build snowmen and have snowball fights here. Although it’s ice and snow here, I sweat when I play, and I don’t feel cold at all when I take off my down jacket. Seeing colleagues punching in here, you can slide directly on the snow, which is also a good experience! You must wear non-slip shoe covers. I saw a few wrestling in Hell Valley. We can run and jump with non-slip insoles. It's a super fun!

Arriving in Noboribetsu, the air smelled of sulfur. This is a natural smell from underground hot springs. Unlike domestic hot springs, which are mostly artificial hot springs, when you go to Jigokudani, the natural heat from the underground fills the entire space. Visitors can sit down with bubble feet and enjoy it.
