Meet at Sengen Park and Start the Tour
Jigokudani, formed by volcanic steam eruptions, is a crater valley with an area equivalent to 2.8 Koshien Stadiums. Around 1 ton of hot spring water gushes out daily, with steam so thick in some areas that visibility is limited. Its "hellish" appearance inspired its name, meaning "Hell Valley."
The area features safe, well-maintained trails, making it accessible even for those with less physical confidence. However, be cautious near the central hot spring pools, as the high-temperature geysers are fenced off for safety.
At the farthest point of the trail lies Tessen Pond, a geyser that periodically erupts with boiling water. Watch as the water bubbles and boils, creating a fascinating sight.
Jigokudani Overlook
Both Oyunuma and Okunoyu are explosion craters of Mt. Hiyoriyama. Oyunuma, shaped like a gourd, has sulfur springs at its bottom reaching 130°C, with surface temperatures around 50°C. Okunoyu, with a surface temperature of 85°C, resembles a boiling cauldron, showcasing the raw power of the earth.
Relax with a natural footbath in the hot spring river flowing from Oyunuma. Surrounded by nature's sounds—rustling trees, birdsong, and the gentle breeze—this is a truly special experience.
