Noboribetsu, located in southwestern Hokkaido, Japan, is a famous hot spring destination known for its spectacular volcanic landscapes and therapeutic mineral-rich waters. Its most iconic attraction, Jigokudani (Hell Valley), features dramatic steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, and rugged volcanic terrain that create an otherworldly atmosphere. Visitors can explore scenic walking trails, enjoy relaxing foot baths at Oyunuma River, and experience traditional Japanese onsen resorts. Surrounded by lush forests and beautiful seasonal scenery, Noboribetsu offers a perfect combination of natural wonders, relaxation, and authentic Japanese culture.
We got to Noboribetsu just after 1pm and we saw this Geyser.
