Take a steamy volcanic tour to Noboribetsu Hell Valley♨️

#September2025 Noboribetsu Jigokudani is one of Hokkaido's most breathtaking natural wonders. Upon entering the valley, the strong smell of sulfur fills your nostrils, and white smoke and steam rise from the ground, creating a sense of being transported to an underground world. Walking along the wooden plank road, you can get up close to the remains of volcanic activity and experience the primal power of nature. The Jigokudani Observatory offers a breathtaking view of the steaming valley. Continuing further, you'll reach the Iron Spring Pond and the Oyunuma Pond, the latter featuring a natural foot bath for a truly relaxing soak amidst the mountain forest. The trail is flat and easy, perfect for exploring with the whole family. Noboribetsu Jigokudani is more than just a geological wonder; it's a profound experience for both the senses and the soul. #Hokkaido #Noboribetsu #Jigokudani
