Noboribetsu Jigoku Matsuri
Once a year, the lid of the cauldron of hell opens and King Enma parades through Noboribetsu Onsen
The season of Noboribetsu Jigoku Matsuri (Noboribetsu Hell Festival) has arrived, in which the Great King Enma, riding on a 6-meter-high float, visits Noboribetsu Onsen Hot Spring Resort and parades through the Gokuraku Street. The festival is based on a legend that every year on the last Saturday and Sunday of August, the lid of the cauldron in Hell Valley opens and King Enma visits Noboribetsu Onsen with demons in tow. There are many events associated with demons!
This festival is unique to Noboribetsu, a town that coexists with Jigokudani, and offers excitement that is hard to find elsewhere.
