Our next destination was Noboribetsu.
Noboribetsu is Hokkaido's most famous hotspring town.
First we visited the Jigokudani 'Hell Valley'.
Studying the map of Jigokudani Hell Valley.
There are 2 lookup points here and very near to each other.... both were already crowded with tourists when we reached there.
The valley was amazingly spectacular! Mixture of colours that made me think how unique this world that Allah created... Subhanallah...
It was named the 'hell valley' because one could see hot steam vents, sulfurous streams and other volcanic activities going on in the bubbly ponds of bluish water - kononnya 'just like in hell' 😂😜 😈
If only they know that hell in akhirat is even worst than that...
'And for those who disbelieve in their Lord (Allah)
is the torment of Hell, the worst destination indeed' Al Mulk:6.
Climbing up thr stairs to one of the lookup points.
Yours truly taking a selfie with 'Hell Valley' as backgroud 😄
From the Jigokudani Hell Valley there is a walking trail through the wooded hills. Tourist can follow the trails for about 20-30mins to see another beautiful natures, the Oyunuma Pond and Okunoyu Pond.
We did not walk.. We drove instead Lol 😅.
The Oyunuma Pond
Oyunuma is a sulfurous pond with a surface temperature of 50C.
Beside Oyunuma there is another pond called Okunoyu. The water in this pond is even hotter as we can see steams rising from the pond surfaces. We can also smell the sulfurous smell... Eeuuuu! 😷
Nearby, flowing out of Oyunuma pond is a river called Oyunumagawa. Many people come here to enjoy foot bath along the river. We did not visit this place though as we were rushing to our next destination - Otaro. Quite a pack itinerary today 😅
Made a 🚽 stop at RNR otw to Otaro...
