igokudani Observation Deck, located near the hot spring town in Noboribetsu City, Hokkaido, offers panoramic views of the Jigokudani geothermal landscape. Jigokudani is the remnant of an explosive crater left by the activity of Mount Hiyori. From the observation deck, one can see a panoramic view of the valley, approximately 450 meters in diameter. The valley floor is dotted with fumaroles and boiling mud pools, with white steam rising day and night, filling the air with the smell of sulfur. The exposed gray-brown and reddish-brown rock walls contrast sharply with the rising white smoke. In cold weather, the visual effect is even more striking when the hot steam meets the cold air.Noboribetsu · 22.2km from Sobetsu

I have to give this ski resort a 7-star rating [Clap][Clap][Clap] I did a lot of research before coming to Noboribetsu Onsen. I thought that as a novice, I would find a small ski resort to practice first. We started from Noboribetsu Daiichi Takimoto Onsen Hotel, and it takes 5 minutes to walk to Noboribetsu Onsen Bus Stop. You can buy tickets on the spot. It costs 480 yen per person to go to the ski resort (it is recommended to buy the ticket in advance to save the change when getting off the bus). Japanese buses are very punctual. The last stop is the ski resort at 9:25. It takes 3 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. Let's talk about the process of the ski resort in detail. The ski ticket is free. If you come for the first time, it is recommended to rent all the equipment inside, including snow suits, hats, gloves, socks and snow goggles. Because the ski resort has limited staff, it is recommended to register your name before entering the door. You will confirm all the contents you need to rent, pay, and get the equipment. It has taken almost 30 minutes to get here, so remember to register your name when you enter the door. After getting the equipment, you can go out to learn by yourself. There are also coaches to ask. Because I have skied several times in China and there are language communication problems, I finally decided to explore it myself. After playing for a morning and feeling that I can go to the intermediate slope, I can go to buy a cable car ticket. We bought 11 times for 3,000 yen per person, but I only used it 5 times in fact. The physical strength consumed by skiing once is still very large. The lunch at the ski resort tastes good, but the machine is operated in Japanese, which is a headache. I found a compatriot to unlock the order. Finally, I want to give a big praise to the staff here. My husband accidentally dropped his mobile phone when he was changing clothes, and I lost my gloves on the cable car. In the end, the staff helped to find them. The ski resort ended at 4 o'clock. I saw netizens saying that the ski resort can help take a taxi, but it is actually difficult. An uncle took us to the hotel for free. Thank you very much. The favorability of this place has increased a lot instantly.

If you go down a little past the Second Observatory, you will see the main observatory. I was grateful to the gentleman managing the Jigok Valley at the entrance sign here for taking photos for me when needed. You can think of the Jigok Valley as getting closer in the order of Second Observatory -> This Observatory -> Jigok Valley.

Volcanic eruptions are often accompanied by disasters, but in this museum, we see hope. If we calm down, we will gain more.

The Usuyama Eruption Memorial Park is located in Lake Toya. You can take a cable car to the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery of Toya Cave. The view of Lake Toya from above is very good, and the whole park is also beautiful.
