Thinking of the most beautiful attractions in Japan, when it comes to the must-visit hot springs in Hokkaido in winter, Nobube is definitely on the list! Noboribetsu Onsen Town and the legendary "Hell Valley" wrap up your journey. Want to play in the hot springs, feel the natural volcanic landscape, and don't want to be crowded? Noboribetsu is a super healing and slightly mysterious choice during this cold snow season. Transportation from Sapporo or New Chitose Airport is also easy, with snowy views mixed with the atmosphere of a hot spring, and every step is a slow exploration and enjoyment.
Analysis of itinerary highlights
This trip covers two must-see attractions: Noboribetsu Onsen Town and Noboribetsu Hell Valley. Walking into the hot spring town, the streets are filled with light smoke, and there are hot spring inns, foot baths and lovely hot spring shrines everywhere. The delicate Japanese atmosphere makes you feel like you are walking into Hayao Miyazaki's animation. Hell Valley is the scene of the magnificence of nature and the power of volcanic activity, which adds a bit of shock to the snowy scenery in winter! The best thing is to go to the hot springs and snow in the winter. After soaking in the hot springs, the whole person warms up and the body and mind are super relaxing!
