Noboribetsu Onsen
Japan’s Hot Spring Department Store
Discover one of Japan’s most renowned hot spring destinations, known as a “hot spring department store” for its rare variety of nine mineral-rich waters and abundant natural flow.
Stepping into this historic hot spring town, the scent of sulfur fills the air and clouds of white steam rise from the ground, creating a dramatic atmosphere. Noboribetsu Onsen’s greatest appeal is the remarkable variety of spring types found in one area, including sulfur, salt, iron, acidic iron, alum, mirabilite, and sodium bicarbonate springs. Hot spring hopping is a highlight, with traditional inns and hotels offering baths ranging from gentle waters that soothe the skin to mineral-rich soaks that warm the body and provide well-known skin-beautifying benefits.
The surrounding landscape reveals the power of nature. At Jigokudani (Hell Valley), boiling water and steam emerge from rugged rock formations, while the pale blue waters of Oyunuma Lake create a mystical scene. Visitors can experience geothermal energy at the geyser in Sengen Park or relax at the Oyunuma River natural foot bath, surrounded by forest scents and the sound of flowing water. Along the way, playful oni (demon) statues throughout the town add charm and a sense of discovery to this unforgettable hot spring destination.
