If you want to go for a day-trip Onsen (hot spring) from Sapporo, Noboribetsu is one of the possible location with a variety of hot springs with healing effects.
You may drive, take a bus or train from Sapporo to Noboribetsu. In the winter, I would prefer the JR train which will be less likely to be interrupted by bad weather condition such as snow storms. It is comfortable and safe. It takes about 100 minutes from Sapporo to Noboribetsu JR station. Then a 15 minute bus to the onsen street.
The Jigokudani (Hell Valley) is a not-to-be-missed attraction which is only 20 minutes away from the onsen street. On the way up to the Hell Valley, two giant onsen demons in red and blue color holding spiked bats will be waiting for you by the roadside. These hot spring demons are built for driving the evil spirit away, bringing health and happiness to people.
Just follow the main road, you will arrive at the Noboribetsu Jigokudani scenery forest. There are wooden paths that leads you to different view points. And you can get closed to the hottest “hell” to see the boiling water and sulphur smoke gushing out of the crater of Mt. Kuttara. It is an interesting experience.
Once called “Hot Spring Paradise”, Noboribetsu onsen area produces 9 different kinds of hot spring water, bringing different healing benefits. No wonder why Japanese has the longest life expectancy in the world.

藍色的湯鬼神。
到達了登別地獄谷。
沿著步道走便可到達登別溫泉風景林入口。
入口的左邊是登別溫泉風景林辦事處，提供休息室、展示室和洗手間。很多日本人都很有創意，堆雪人都很有幽默感。
多條棧道可以從不同的角度欣賞地獄谷的風景。
有層次的雪景和蔚藍的天空，冬天可以這樣美！
登別溫泉風景林的棧道可連接其他公園，行山前最好到國家公園管理中心拿張地圖，知道路程才走。
環繞地獄谷已經有不同的棧道，有高位可以展望風景，但木棧很滑，上落要小心。
沿著可以走的路會看見地標和警告提示，地面鋪滿雪，看不清楚地面情況最好不要走得太近。
這一間溫泉旅館的景觀一定不錯。
地獄谷到處都有硫磺味道，接近溫泉眼更可看見沸騰的溫泉水和蒸氣不斷冒出來。
