Noboribetsu Hell Festival
King Enma parades through Noboribetsu's hot spring district
A festival where the lid of Hell Valley's cauldron opens on the last Saturday and Sunday of August every year, and King Enma visits the hot spring with his demons.
Based on the legend that once a year, the lid of hell's cauldron opens and King Enma appears at Noboribetsu Onsen, this festival features many demon-related events including Noboribetsu drums, demon portable shrines, and demon dances. Especially, the spectacular scene of King Enma riding on a 6m-high float parading through Gokuraku Street in Noboribetsu's hot spring district is a must-see.
