Jigokudani (Hell Valley)

#japantrip Breathtaking scenery with easy trails. it was not very busy for an afternoon weekday. The footpath can seem a little far but it is worth it! The river stones were a beautiful color.It’s a nice tourist attraction. Has a bit of foul smell but it’s from the sulfur, don’t stay too long in one spot but definitely come! It’s nice 🥰 it’s free though! And you can also go for a nice walk to a nearby lake!

#thingstodoJigokudani aka hell valley. Free to view. An interesting spot to have a feel of volcanic activities beneath. Nice photo spot as well 👍 Walking 5min walk from hotel dai-ichi. I personally liked the view and the smoke a lot. Of course there is a smell that comes with it, but it's bearable. There is also a river nearby where you can have a footbath and the demon statues are also nice. There's a lot of hotels with Onsen in it At night there is light which shines onto the valley. It's also nice but looks more in the photos than it actually is

When traveling in Hokkaido, Japan, you must have a good eye. Always complaining about 'where are the animals', under the guidance of local tourists, I found a doe 🦌, strolling in the Noboribetsu Hell Valley, not afraid of the dense steam that occasionally emerges from the ground . In an instant, the timid image of the deer was completely subverted! Could it be that the weather is too cold, she also wants to soak in the hot spring♨️?

#japantrip My visit to Jigokudani was a thrilling experience! The moment I stepped onto the observation deck, I felt like I was gazing into the depths of hell. The sulfurous steam vents and boiling mud ponds created a surreal landscape, like something out of a fantasy novel. The observation deck offered a thrilling view of the volcanic activity below, with steam and gas billowing up from the earth. The sheer force of nature was awe-inspiring, and I felt tiny in comparison. The deck's unique design and safety features made for a comfortable and secure viewing experience. If you're ready for a taste of hell on earth, Jigokudani Observation Deck is a must-visit!

Winter, December to February, is the best season for skiing and hot springs♨ in Hokkaido. Landing in Sapporo from 🛬New Chitose Airport, you are invited to a Hokkaido rendezvous. 🗓Recommended itinerary: First route: Skiing⛷ route, centered around Sapporo, soaking in the resort and ski slopes. Sapporo Teine Ski Resort, the closest to Sapporo. Niseko Higashiyama Ski Resort, with excellent snow quality and slopes. Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU Ski Resort has quality powder snow, and the resort itself is also worth exploring, of course, the price is also beautiful. Second route: Hot springs♨ route, Sapporo-Otaru-Noboribetsu. Entering Noboribetsu Hell Valley, you can smell and see the natural sulfur hot springs. Different from domestic ones, the hot springs here are separated by gender, and bathing is done naked. Third route: Snow viewing❄ route, Sapporo-Furano-Biei-Asahikawa. In winter, the trees in Biei sing a lonely song, while the penguins🐧 in Asahikawa perform a joyful symphony. ✈️How to buy discount tickets: Domestic flights can take off or transfer from Shandong. Shandong Airlines to Japan is considered a budget airline, and sometimes round-trip tickets are less than a thousand. 🏨How to choose accommodation: For skiing⛷, stay directly at the ski resort, and you can stock up in advance during major OTA promotions, especially at Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU Ski Resort. For hot springs♨, Otaru can be a day trip, and Noboribetsu is recommended for Dai-ichi Takimotokan, a more established hot spring hotel, with tatami rooms, including dinner buffet, room service, and hot springs.
