[Hokkaido] Noboribetsu Onsen: A rare hot spring with 9 types of hot springs

Noboribetsu can be accessed by bus from Noboribetsu Station, which is a 70-minute express train ride from Sapporo. The first thing that overwhelmed me when I visited Noboribetsu was the sight of the hot spring gushing out, known as "Hell Valley." The steam and sulfurous scent rising from the rugged rock face truly made me feel the breath of the earth, and I was simply amazed at the power of nature. The hot spring town had a nostalgic feel to it, and I was soothed by the tranquil scenery of rising steam at night. There was a wide variety of hot springs, which were gentle on the skin and very warming. It was a hot spring resort where nature and human kindness come together, where you can enjoy both sightseeing and relaxation. #Spring0yenTrip
