Noboribetsu Essentials

Noboribetsu is Hokkaido's premier hot spring destination, centered around the active volcanic landscape of Hell Valley. The area features diverse mineral waters utilized in historic bathhouses like Dai-ichi Takimotokan, which has operated since 1858. Beyond the geothermal activity, visitors can explore Edo-period recreations at Date Jidaimura, visit the Danish-style castle aquarium at Marine Park Nixe, or take the ropeway to the summit of Mt. Shihorei for views of Lake Kuttara and the local bear park.
