One of Japan's leading hot spring areas, known as the "department store of hot springs," a globally rare phenomenon with nine types of spring water and abundant water volume.

Stepping into the hot spring town, you are enveloped in a unique atmosphere where the scent of sulfur tickles your nose and white steam rises. The greatest attraction of Noboribetsu Onsen is that nine types of spring water, including sulfur springs, salt springs, iron springs, acidic iron springs, alum springs, mirabilite springs, and sodium bicarbonate springs, gather in one place. From this diversity, it is called the "department store of hot springs," and hot spring hopping to enjoy different spring waters at each inn and hotel is popular. Gentle water on the skin, water that warms from the core of the body, and water with expected beautifying effects - each spring quality provides a different bathing experience.

Around the hot spring town, magnificent scenery created by nature spreads. In Jigokudani (Hell Valley), hot water and steam vigorously spout from rough rock surfaces, and the scent of sulfur drifts more strongly. From the pale blue water surface of Oyunuma, steam rises, creating a mystical atmosphere. At Sengen Park, you can observe geysers bubbling up close, and at the Oyunuma River Natural Foot Bath, while soaking your feet in hot spring water overflowing from the pond, you are healed by the forest scent and the murmuring of the river. Demon monuments are scattered throughout the hot spring town, making exploration while searching for them enjoyable.
