A Summer Story of Falling in Love with Noboribetsu, Hokkaido

Noboribetsu Onsen is about an hour by train from New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido. The Hell Valley tour in Noboribetsu is grand in scale and has a different charm compared to Beppu Onsen! It's a strange sight to see water flowing like a river, but it's all hot spring water. Well, the tourist spots were great, but that's not why I fell in love with Noboribetsu! It's not just Noboribetsu, but the food in Hokkaido is delicious! The guesthouse I stayed at in Noboribetsu had a friendly owner, was close to the station, had cooking facilities, and there was a nearby co-op with super delicious and cheap seafood. I fell in love with the everyday life packed with such experiences in Noboribetsu. It's these special encounters that make me love traveling.
