🌋The Fantasy World of Jigokudani
This is the remains of a volcanic eruption, still emitting smoke! The strong smell of sulfur truly reminiscent of hell 👿
✅ Must-see: Grayish-white lava and reddish-brown ground, with steam gushing from cracks (it's truly stunning in winter with the white snow).
✅ Fun check-in spots: The scenic area features various "hell"-themed sculptures, including "Girl Hell" and "Teppo Hell." Feel free to take photos and check in!

♨A paradise for hot spring lovers.
Noboribetsu Onsen originates here. 3,000 liters of hot spring water gushes out every minute, containing 11 different minerals. Your skin will be left feeling smooth and slippery after a soak. ✨
