In winter, go to Noboribetsu, Hokkaido ❄️ to see the snow and soak in hot springs ♨️.

Perhaps it's a magical fate. Last year at this time, I was also soaking in hot springs and watching the snow in Noboribetsu. Noboribetsu represents the hot spring town of Hokkaido, and the largest source of hot springs here is the Jigokudani of Noboribetsu. Hell's Valley is a crater with a diameter of 450 meters, shrouded in smoke and emitting the smell of sulfur all year round. Walking around the valley gives you a feeling of shopping in hell... The hot spring here has a daily output of up to 10,000 tons, and because it has a variety of rare spring qualities, it is also considered rare worldwide. Next to Hell's Valley, it's only a 400-meter walk to the First Waterfall Main Hall! I'm staying here today, which is also a super ancient hotel on the street of Noboribetsu Onsen, with a history of 164 years. The buffet is very rich, and the hot springs are amazing, amazing, amazing! After soaking, my shoulders, which were originally creaking, completely recovered! There is also a big golden stick hidden with many mechanisms in the lobby, which performs the story of Momotaro fighting demons on the hour - very interesting! The Selu Observatory near Noboribetsu is also highly recommended for everyone to visit. This is an observation deck where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Toya. Today, I happened to encounter a snowstorm on a sunny day, which was very romantic! I also saw white birch trees and Mount Yotei, and together with my friends, we left a trail of footprints on the pink snow. Oh, I feel like my winter is complete!
