Onibi No Michi
A magical night walk through steam and softly glowing light
At Noboribetsu Jigokudani, one of Hokkaido’s most iconic hot spring landscapes, the scenery transforms completely after sunset.
A walking trail stretching from the valley entrance to Tessen Pond is gently illuminated by soft footlights, guiding visitors along what is known as Onibi no Michi, or the “Path of Demon Fire.” As you follow the glowing path, the valley reveals a very different face from its daytime intensity.
Wisps of white steam drift up from the vents, while the rugged cliffs are bathed in a faint, flickering light, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Step by step, the path leads you deeper into the darkness until a vast crater basin emerges, seemingly floating in the night.
With only the sound of your footsteps and the quiet hiss of escaping steam, this immersive walk draws you into the living breath of the earth. It is a rare chance to experience the raw energy of Hokkaido’s volcanic landscape in a moment of stillness you won’t soon forget.
