Noboribetsu Jigokudani
A Spectacular Landscape of Sulfurous Steam and Volcanic Energy
A crater formed by the eruption of Mt. Hiyori, where rising steam, rugged volcanic scenery, nighttime illuminations, and seasonal events showcase the power of nature.
Noboribetsu Jigokudani, the main source of Noboribetsu Onsen, is a volcanic crater about 450 m in diameter. White steam rises throughout the valley, while hot spring water bubbles up from the ground. Producing around 10,000 tons of hot spring water daily, it is one of Noboribetsu's most iconic natural attractions.
Steam vents and hot spring sources dot the yellow-gray and reddish-brown valley floor, filling the air with the scent of sulfur. Walking paths allow visitors to enjoy ever-changing scenery throughout the year. Autumn brings vibrant foliage, while winter highlights the contrast between white steam and crisp air. At night, the illuminated Onibi no Michi (Path of Demon Fire) creates a mystical atmosphere.
During summer evenings, Oni-hanabi (Demon Fireworks), performed by the Yukijin, the guardian deities of Noboribetsu Onsen, lights up the night with towering flames and powerful sounds.
From seasonal scenery to nighttime events, Jigokudani reveals a different face throughout the year, making it one of the unique highlights of Noboribetsu Onsen.
