Jigokudani (Valley of Hell)

Jigokudani (Valley of Hell) Review

A volcanic crater in a bow-shape valley, Jigokudani has hundreds of multicolor geysers, pulsing like the heartbeat of Earth itself, or, rather, its handy-dandy sulfur vent. Not to worry, though; the walkways to photo ops have handrails and are very safe. It's a short walk from all Noboribetsu hotels and worth a look. There's no admission fee or formal open hours.
