What this area is like
Noboribetsu’s Jigokudani (Hell Valley) steams beside the hot-spring town. At Lake Toya, take the ropeway up Mount Usu and watch the summer-season fireworks over the lake.
Plan your visit
JR limited express trains reach Noboribetsu in about 70 minutes from Sapporo, then a 15-minute bus to the hot springs.
