You don’t need any other things but all you need is true Japanese hot springs? You want to enjoy the contrast of freezing Hokkaido weather and super hot spring that can melt your frozen body? Or you focus on relaxing time rather than going out for adventures? If so, visiting Noboribetsu, which is a city located in Hokkaido prefecture and world widely well-known for its natural hot springs, is recommended.
Noboribetsu is one of the most famous and popular hot spring resorts in Japan. It takes only 2 hours from Sapporo so you can make a plan to visit this place if you are traveling to Sapporo. There is a volcanic crater which is called as Jigokudani, menas hell valley in English, and it creates a lot of steam from mountains as well as bubbling hot water. Noboribetsu is also called as Goblin town so that you can see statues of Japanese goblins in some places in village. In addition to this, it is not difficult to see and feel hot steam from onsen. This naturally means visiting here in summer will show you what real humid and hot weather is.
