About Noboribetsu
Noboribetsu is a hot-spring resort town in south-west Hokkaido, beside a steaming volcanic valley known as Hell Valley.
Noboribetsu Onsen sits on the edge of Shikotsu-Toya National Park on Hokkaido's Pacific side, between Sapporo and Hakodate, and is the island's best-known hot-spring resort. At its head lies Jigokudani, Hell Valley, a crater slope of bare yellow and grey rock where sulphur steam vents and bubbling pools make the air smell of eggs, with a boardwalk crossing the valley.
