Autumn Foliage in Noboribetsu Onsen

About this event

The autumn foliage around Noboribetsu Onsen Jigokudani (Hell Valley) typically reaches its peak from mid-October to late October. During this period, rowan (nanakamado), lacquer trees (yamaurushi), and Erman's birch (dakekanba) around Jigokudani and Oyunuma turn vibrant red, creating a magical landscape. Along the valley, numerous vents and fumaroles spout volcanic gases and hot spring water, creating an impressive contrast with the autumn leaves. In the pleasant autumn weather, you can enjoy the foliage while strolling along the walking paths. Exploring nearby sightseeing attractions like Oyunuma and the natural footbath is also recommended. After sunset, the "Demon Fire Path - Valley of Fantasy and Mystery" takes place; illuminated by footlights in a magical atmosphere, the sounds of gushing hot water and steam echo through the night stillness, offering a mystical experience distinctly different from daytime.
