    Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley

    Step into a dramatic, otherworldly landscape known as "Hell Valley." This active volcanic crater is the source of Noboribetsu's famous hot springs. We’ll take a 50-minute walk along the main wooden boardwalk, which leads you right into the heart of the valley. Feel the earth’s power as you witness steam venting from the ground, bubbling pools, and the distinct scent of sulfur. A truly raw and photogenic display of nature’s force.

    Stroll down the charming "Gokuraku-dori" (Shopping Street) for a relaxing lunch break. Located just steps from Hell Valley, this street is lined with souvenir shops and local eateries. You have 60 minutes to refuel. We highly recommend trying the local specialty "Hell Ramen" (spicy noodles) to match the theme of the day, or enjoy fresh Hokkaido seafood at "Onsen Ichiba." Don't miss the changing face of the Enma (King of Hell) statue if you catch the timing!

    Lake Toya

    Arrive at the serene shores of Lake Toya, a mystical caldera lake known for never freezing, even in winter. This stop offers a peaceful break to connect with nature intimately. Enjoy a 30-minute leisurely stroll along the scenic lakeside promenade, which doubles as an open-air art gallery with unique sculptures. It’s the perfect spot to breathe in the fresh air, admire the shimmering blue water, and capture stunning photos of the lake against the mountains.

    For the grand finale, we visit the Silo Observation Deck, widely considered the best spot for a complete panoramic view of the Toya region. From this elevated vantage point, gaze out over the vast blue lake, the central Nakajima Islands, and the majestic Mt. Usu. It’s the ultimate photo op to capture the entire landscape in one frame. Before leaving, you can also browse the shop for popular Hokkaido dairy products and souvenirs.
