Noboribetsu-onsen (登別温泉) is the largest “hot spring town” in Hokkaido, guarded by ferocious demons. Yes, demons. You will find Kannon (demon) statues hidden in the town and along the valley, rightly known as Jigokudani (Hell Valley), a huge volcanic area with forests, boiling geysers, hot water rivers, sulfurous lakes.
This place is perfect to rest in natural onsen. And walk, walk, walk.
All of the photos were taken using natural light, with my Canon Powershot G9X Mark II.
