Itinerary Details
The Boundary Between Hell and Earth: Noboribetsu Geothermal Baptism
The moment you step into Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley), the strong smell of sulfur and white smoke billowing from the rock crevices hit you – this is Hokkaido’s most breathtaking geothermal wonder, a unique experience many travelers describe as “like stepping into another dimension.” Walk along the trail to observe the bubbling springs and volcanic crater remains up close, feeling the earth’s most primal pulse. Flexible stops are available with a chartered vehicle; if you’d like to add a visit to the Brown Bear Ranch or Date Jidai-mura (Date Historical Village), simply communicate with the driver to ensure every minute is spent where you want to see it most.
Azure Waltz: Panoramic View of Lake Toya and the Flavors of Ranch Life
From the scorching heat of hell to the tranquil blue of Lake Toya—this contrast is precisely what makes this route so captivating. First, ascend to the observation deck to take in the breathtaking sapphire-blue lake views, then head to the popular Lake Hill Farm ranch to savor handmade Italian gelato made with seasonal ingredients on the expansive grass—a sweet treat that will make you forget you were just standing next to a volcano. Finally, take the Usuyama Ropeway straight to the summit, where a panoramic view of both Showa Shinzan and Lake Toya unfolds before you—one of Hokkaido’s most photographic wonders.
