Ноборибецу

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.
