Full Gear Rental Plan (Wear, Boots & Gloves)
Recommended for those without their own winter gear. This plan includes full rental equipment: snowshoes, poles, wear, gloves, and boots.
・Availability: January 4 – February 28, 2026
・Duration: Approx. 150 minutes
・Walking Distance: About 3 km (Elevation gain: ~50 m)
・Physical Level: Intermediate
Overview
Schedule
Meet at Sengen Park (in Front of Dai-ichi Takimotokan)
First, Take a Shuttle to the Hell Valley Area
Snowshoes let you walk easily on deep, fluffy snow. Enjoy the sparkling winter forest of Noboribetsu!
Formed by a volcanic eruption, Hell Valley releases about one ton of hot spring water daily. Thick steam rises, creating an eerie, hell-like landscape.
At the far end of Hell Valley lies a geyser that periodically erupts with boiling water from underground.
Jigokudani Overhanging Observatory
As Mount Hiyoriyama emits white smoke and Oyunuma steams, a roaring sound like a jet engine can be heard.
Located about 100 meters from Oyunuma, Oku-no-Yu is part of Mount Hiyoriyama's crater. The water reaches around 80°C, sending up steam. Its hot spring water is used by local inns and hospitals in Kamiyu Noboribetsu.
The tour ends at a natural foot bath along the Oyunuma River. Warm spring water collects in dips along the stream, perfect for a relaxing soak. In the quiet forest, soothe your tired feet as mineral-rich water swirls beneath you.
On the way back, dive into fluffy snow or enjoy taking photos as you return to the starting point.
