Noboribetsu Jigokudani
The thrill and impact of Jigokudani
Jigokudani (meaning "Hell's Valley") does indeed look like hell. Volcanic gases spout from the cracks in the rocks, and the smell of sulfur along with the billowing white smoke and simmering hot springs, are truly impressive. You can take walk around the Jigokudani area on the specially constructed promenade. "Onibi no Michi" (meaning "Path of Ghostly Lights") is illuminated every night creating an air of fantasy and mystery. The "Oni Hanabi" fireworks festival is held every summer, during which "Yukijin," known as the guardian deity of Noboribetsu's hot spring waters, releases fireworks that reach as high as 8m. If you stay overnight at Noboribetsu Hot Spring, we highly recommend strolling through Noboribetsu Jigokudani at night.
