Onibi No Michi
A magical night walk through steam and softly glowing light
At Noboribetsu Jigokudani, one of Hokkaido’s most iconic geothermal landscapes, the scenery transforms after sunset.
A trail leading from the valley entrance to Tessen Pond is softly illuminated, guiding visitors along Onibi no Michi, the “Path of Demon Lights.” As you follow the glowing route, the dramatic volcanic landscape reveals a side rarely seen during the day.
White steam rises from the earth, catching the light as it drifts across the valley. Rugged cliffs and crater walls emerge from the darkness, creating an atmosphere suspended between reality and myth. Step by step, the trail leads deeper into the night until the vast crater comes into view.
With only the sound of your footsteps and the soft hiss of steam vents, the silence becomes part of the experience. Cool night air contrasts with the warmth rising beneath your feet, sharpening every sensation. In this Hokkaido Heritage landscape, visitors can feel the living pulse of the earth up close. It is an unforgettable way to experience the power, beauty, and mystery of Hokkaido’s volcanic wilderness after dark.
