Noboribetsu: Hell Valley and Bear Ranch - An Exciting Day of Exploration

Experience a day of exploration that stimulates children's curiosity at Noboribetsu (登別), Hokkaido's representative hot spring resort. Walk the boardwalk at Hell Valley (地獄谷) where steam rises, then rest your feet in the natural hot spring flow at Oyunuma River Natural Foot Bath. Take the ropeway up Noboribetsu Bear Ranch (のぼりべつクマ牧場) for an up-close encounter with the power of brown bears, and travel back in time at Noboribetsu Date Historical Village (登別伊達時代村) with a ninja show set in the Edo period. Finish at Noboribetsu Marine Park Nix (登別マリンパークニクス) with cheers for the silvery schools of sardines and the penguin parade. This greedy course is packed with discoveries for families with elementary school-age children.
