Jigokudani (Hell Valley)
 
basic information

Jigokudani

Jigokudani or "Hell Valley" is a spectacular, appropriately named valley, which displays hot steam vents, sulfurous streams and other volcanic activity. It is one source of Noboribetsu's hot spring waters.

From the valley, there are attractive hiking trails through the densely forested hills around Noboribetsu. If you follow them for about 20 or 30 minutes, you will get to Oyunuma, a sulfurous pond with a surface temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and a smaller, even hotter, mud pond nearby.
