Hokkaido | A winter ski/hot spring invitation
Winter, December to February, is the best season for skiing and hot springs♨ in Hokkaido. Landing in Sapporo from 🛬New Chitose Airport, you are invited to a Hokkaido rendezvous.
🗓Recommended itinerary:
First route: Skiing⛷ route, centered around Sapporo, soaking in the resort and ski slopes. Sapporo Teine Ski Resort, the closest to Sapporo. Niseko Higashiyama Ski Resort, with excellent snow quality and slopes. Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU Ski Resort has quality powder snow, and the resort itself is also worth exploring, of course, the price is also beautiful.
Second route: Hot springs♨ route, Sapporo-Otaru-Noboribetsu. Entering Noboribetsu Hell Valley, you can smell and see the natural sulfur hot springs. Different from domestic ones, the hot springs here are separated by gender, and bathing is done naked.
Third route: Snow viewing❄ route, Sapporo-Furano-Biei-Asahikawa. In winter, the trees in Biei sing a lonely song, while the penguins🐧 in Asahikawa perform a joyful symphony.
✈️How to buy discount tickets:
Domestic flights can take off or transfer from Shandong. Shandong Airlines to Japan is considered a budget airline, and sometimes round-trip tickets are less than a thousand.
🏨How to choose accommodation:
For skiing⛷, stay directly at the ski resort, and you can stock up in advance during major OTA promotions, especially at Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU Ski Resort.
For hot springs♨, Otaru can be a day trip, and Noboribetsu is recommended for Dai-ichi Takimotokan, a more established hot spring hotel, with tatami rooms, including dinner buffet, room service, and hot springs.
The inch grassy Hell Valley is rich in the best natural hot springs. The scenery is unique, you can visit during the day and night, and you can smell the sulfur and steam everywhere.
I really enjoy my stay in this small town with a morning walk to Jikokudani. The onsen in the Takimoto Inn Hotel is a good experience too. It is so relaxing and you will looked refreshing after the tiring trip. Strongly recommend and I want to come back again!
The Denbet Hell Valley in Hokkaido, Japan, is a crater site park. The sulfur tastes very strong. Visitors can walk to the middle of the crater. There are also eggs burned with ash for sale. It is delicious.
It's worth visiting once. The whole mountain smells of sulphur. There's a bus from the station to the hotel. The ticket is 300 yen. The hotel can wash hot springs, soak in the sulphur pool, and watch the glacier outside. The only regret is that an old lady comes and feels the water temperature and leaves. Lean on! I'm bare! There are two ways to go up the mountain. It is suggested to enter from the valley and leave from the foot wash pool. No money for scenic spots! There's ice on the mountain. Buy your equipment!
Typhoon delayed return flights, so it did not include in the trip to the valley of hell boarding as one of the attractions in the next few days (because to Dayong Valley, think it should be similar, so give up, the result is still arranged by fate), here is also convenient transportation, Sapporo Airport or South 1000-year-old can take JR to boarding station for about 40 minutes, and then there are large. It's less than 20 minutes. There are also airport buses that go directly to Hell Valley in less than an hour. I came by bus from Dengbie Station, along the way, I will pass through several scenic spots. After arriving at Hot Spring Town, I can walk to Hell Valley. There are wooden trestle roads along the road to see the valley formed by volcanic melting rocks. At the center, there are geothermal fountains gurgling out, sometimes erupting, and a strong odor of eggs. The scene of Dayong Valley is very similar, that is, there are no commercial shops and no jade sales in the scenic area. Walking along the woods, there is a free water soup pool for foot bath. It's beautiful to soak your feet to relieve fatigue.
Dengbie is an indispensable place to visit Hokkaido. Any hot spring hotel in Dengbie Hot Spring Street can soak in authentic hot springs, and the most famous one is located at the end of Hot Spring Street, which is the first hotel closest to Dengbie Hell Valley. It is said that the first Pianben Museum was founded because the owner of the hotel loved his wife very much. In order to cause disease to his wife, I heard that soaking hot springs could help him find high-quality hot springs everywhere. When I came to the hotel, I found that the hot springs here were very high-quality and very effective for curing his wife's illness. So the hot springs of other places gradually became more and more popular in the whole country. At the entrance of Hell Valley, there is a small shrine called Tangze Shrine. Not far away, there are two ghost shapes. It feels that the evening is more atmosphere.
