Noboribetsu Jigokudani

The first stop on our six-day Hokkaido trip was Noboribetsu Hell Valley. Formed by the eruption of Mt. Hiyori, Noboribetsu Hell Valley is a volcanic crater approximately 450 meters in diameter and covering an area of ​​approximately 11 hectares.

As you walk along the trail, you'll see fumaroles and boiling springs, and the strong smell of sulfur, reminiscent of a "hell where ghosts dwell," has earned the name "Noboribetsu Hell Valley." The trail is illuminated at night, earning it the nickname "Demon Fire Road." In the summer, a "Demon Fireworks Show" is held. If you're staying at a nearby hot spring hotel, this is a great place for an evening stroll.

At the end of the trail, you'll find the Iron Spring Pond, a geyser with temperatures reaching 80 degrees Celsius.
