Overview

- Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley) | A Secret Wonderland Gifted by Volcanoes Boasting a volcanic crater approximately 450 meters in diameter, formed by the eruption of Mount Hiyori, it is the most impactful natural wonder in the Noboribetsu Onsen area. The valley is dotted with fumaroles, where high-temperature steam rises, and the desolate, vast landscape exudes an ethereal atmosphere, as if stepping into an ancient secret realm. Due to its magnificent yet solitary scenery, it earned the name "Hell Valley," with every step revealing the mysterious power of the volcano. - Mount Usu Ropeway | Overlooking the Volcanic Spectacle from the Clouds Mount Usu, a globally active volcano, has erupted four times in the past century, carving the dynamic texture of the earth. Take the ropeway through the Toya Caldera and Usu Volcano Global Geopark, embracing the entire volcano from a cloud-level perspective, taking in the full view of the volcano and Lake Toya. The wind carries both the grandeur and gentleness of nature, with every frame a heartwarming painting of mountains and seas. - Bear Ranch | Hokkaido's Adorable and Healing Moments Brown bears, Hokkaido's largest wild mammals, find a gentle encounter paradise here.

Its waters are as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky and distant mountains. Even in the dead of winter, the lake surface remains rippling. As Japan's northernmost unfrozen lake, it offers beautiful scenery in all four seasons, with gentle breezes creating ripples of tenderness across the lake. - Mount Yotei | Hokkaido's "Little Fuji" Spectacle Mount Yotei, affectionately known as "Ezo Fuji" due to its resemblance to Mount Fuji, stands like a miniature sacred mountain between the heavens and earth of Hokkaido. Its majestic and towering form, with a snow-capped peak year-round, complements the surrounding grasslands and lakes, exuding a tranquil and grand aura. Looking up, one sees the masterful craftsmanship of nature, both gentle and powerful. - Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival | A Dreamlike Feast Carved from Ice and Snow Lake Shikotsu, Japan's northernmost unfrozen lake, has crystal-clear waters, like a sapphire left in the human world, exuding a clear and ethereal charm. During the Ice Festival, ice pillars stand tall and snow piles are scattered along the lakeside.
