Things to do in Muroran

Be sure to check the weather before you go. We were lucky. The sun was shining brightly that day. We walked up the mountain directly from the bottom. The scenery along the way was also beautiful. There were almost no people. After reaching Jinpingfeng, we were not far from Cape Earth. The scenery of Cape Earth is really amazing. The field of vision can be infinitely extended. It feels that the horizon in front of you is the edge of the earth. The white lighthouse stands by the sea, lonely and small. At this time, you can put all distractions behind your mind and completely empty your mind.

the town is nice and of cos onsen is the most famous experience there , the snowy atmosphere is great for the onsen, good for going

Located in Noboribetsu, the beautiful and spectacular Noboribetsu Hell Valley is a scenic area. Formed by volcanoes, this valley is blessed with hot springs reaching temperatures of 80 degrees Celsius. The scent of sulfur can be smelled from time to time, and even the hot springs have a yellowish color. The magnificent Oyunuma Pond is truly breathtaking, making it a must-see. Noboribetsu Hell Valley truly lives up to its reputation!

A Record of My Romantic Winter Trip in January 2020~ The first day I arrived at Lake Toya was a very overcast day; the entire lake was shrouded in a gray haze, and Mount Yotei was completely invisible, but I still happily took photos for a long time, haha. The second day, the sky cleared, and the scenery of Lake Toya instantly improved several levels. The clear sky, dotted with a few small white clouds, made the lake surface appear a beautiful blue, and many, many ducklings were playing and frolicking on the lake. The distant mountain ranges and the snow-capped Mount Yotei were clearly visible—such a beautiful scene, peaceful and serene. Just sitting by the lake, gazing into the distance, and all my worries would disappear.

A bridge to the Earth Cape. In fact, there are many bridges like this in China, but this bridge is definitely very beautiful. The bridge is all white, and it looks very beautiful with the blue sky, white clouds and blue sea.

The Shukutsu Observatory in Otaru faces the sea, and white sailboats dot the blue sea. It is so beautiful! Actually, we were just casually walking around the streets of Otaru and eating. We accidentally saw a large poster covering the entire wall with beautiful scenery, so we found the Shukutsu Observatory according to the map. The only difference is that the lighthouse seems to be under maintenance, and it may need to be repainted. It is not the red and white color we saw on the way.

Never thought we would enjoy a chocolate factory so much even though we didn’t try any chocolate during the visit! It was very sighftul and yet full of surprises we walked till they close! Don’t forget to get the parking coupon vouchers from them to get discount off the carpark. We bought our tickets from trip.com and could use them instantly, offsetting coins! Best deal ever! The 6-years old daughter even tried a simple 10mins snack making course for 900yen!

Walking along the mountain from Jigokudani, we arrived at another scenic spot formed by volcanoes - Oyunuma. A hot spring stream overflowing from Oyunuma is available for tourists to soak their feet. The black volcanic mud inside is very comfortable to soak in.

I have to give this ski resort a 7-star rating [Clap][Clap][Clap] I did a lot of research before coming to Noboribetsu Onsen. I thought that as a novice, I would find a small ski resort to practice first. We started from Noboribetsu Daiichi Takimoto Onsen Hotel, and it takes 5 minutes to walk to Noboribetsu Onsen Bus Stop. You can buy tickets on the spot. It costs 480 yen per person to go to the ski resort (it is recommended to buy the ticket in advance to save the change when getting off the bus). Japanese buses are very punctual. The last stop is the ski resort at 9:25. It takes 3 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. Let's talk about the process of the ski resort in detail. The ski ticket is free. If you come for the first time, it is recommended to rent all the equipment inside, including snow suits, hats, gloves, socks and snow goggles. Because the ski resort has limited staff, it is recommended to register your name before entering the door. You will confirm all the contents you need to rent, pay, and get the equipment. It has taken almost 30 minutes to get here, so remember to register your name when you enter the door. After getting the equipment, you can go out to learn by yourself. There are also coaches to ask. Because I have skied several times in China and there are language communication problems, I finally decided to explore it myself. After playing for a morning and feeling that I can go to the intermediate slope, I can go to buy a cable car ticket. We bought 11 times for 3,000 yen per person, but I only used it 5 times in fact. The physical strength consumed by skiing once is still very large. The lunch at the ski resort tastes good, but the machine is operated in Japanese, which is a headache. I found a compatriot to unlock the order. Finally, I want to give a big praise to the staff here. My husband accidentally dropped his mobile phone when he was changing clothes, and I lost my gloves on the cable car. In the end, the staff helped to find them. The ski resort ended at 4 o'clock. I saw netizens saying that the ski resort can help take a taxi, but it is actually difficult. An uncle took us to the hotel for free. Thank you very much. The favorability of this place has increased a lot instantly.

[Scenery] Mount Usu is bare and nothing to see; the red smoking Showa Shinzan next to it was newly formed by the eruption in 19th year of the Showa era, which is not bad. [Fun] 🚡 Go up to the observation deck, where you can see a mountain like 🗻 in the distance; there is a road next to it that leads to another observation deck to see Mount Usu, but the road is a bit far, and the key is that Mount Usu is not very beautiful. [Value for money] 🚡 Round trip 2000 yen for adults, 1000 yen for children
