Onibi No Michi
A magical walk illuminated by soft lights and rising steam
At Noboribetsu Jigokudani, one of the most iconic hot spring sites in Hokkaido, a mystical transformation takes place after sunset. From the entrance of the valley to the small geyser known as Tessen Pond, a walking trail is gently illuminated with footlights each evening. This enchanting path is called Oni-bi no Michi, which means “Path of Demon Fire.”
As you follow the softly glowing trail, the dramatic contrast from the daytime scenery becomes striking. Wisps of white steam rise from the crater vents, and the rocky cliffs are dimly lit, creating a mysterious and surreal atmosphere. Guided by flickering lights, you’ll eventually arrive at the explosive crater that appears to float in the darkness—an unforgettable sight that evokes the feeling of stepping into another world.
This extraordinary night walk invites you to experience the raw power and tranquil beauty of nature in perfect harmony.
