Noboribetsu Onsen<\/strong> (\u767b\u5225\u6e29\u6cc9) is a famous hot spring town located just a couple of hours from Sapporo<\/strong><\/a> (\u672d\u5e4c). And for\u00a0me, it was a great place to head for my first\u00a0onsen experience while getting out into the beautiful Hokkaido wilderness at the same time. Here are some of the top things to see and do<\/strong> when you visit Noboribestu Onsen in Hokkaido<\/strong> (\u5317\u6d77\u9053), the northernmost region of Japan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things to do in Noboribetsu Onsen is to go for a hike and visit all the geothermal attractions<\/strong> just out of\u00a0town. If you walk 5-10 minutes north from the main street of the town, you will arrive at\u00a0Jigokudani<\/strong> (\u5730\u7344\u8c37), also known as \u201cHell Valley.\u201d This is a beautiful valley to look at with its barren landscape, sulfurous streams, and bubbling steam vents dotting the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
