Introduction

The geothermal valley is located in the center of the Noboribetsu hot spring area, and can be easily reached by walking along the hot spring street. It is a volcanic eruption site that emits volcanic gases and is filled with various types of hot springs throughout the year. Due to intense volcanic eruptions, a boiling valley formed next to the ridge. There are many walking trails around the geothermal valley, especially in autumn. Looking down from the trail, on one side is the desolate valley, while the other side is a road covered in autumn leaves, which is also a highlight of this place. As for the Oyunuma, it is located deep in the geothermal valley and can be reached on foot in less than 15 minutes along the trail. There is also a foot bath area here, providing services to soothe the soles of visitors' feet.
