    As soon as I arrived at Oyunuma Pond in Noboribetsu, I was captivated by the scenery. White steam constantly rose from the water, while a faint sulfur smell filled the air. You could really feel the power of volcanic geothermal activity. It was my first time seeing volcanic terrain this close, and I was filled with excitement and wonder.

    Walking along the trail offered different views of the steam slowly rising against the lush green mountains, creating a truly unique natural landscape. After listening to the guide, I learned how hot the spring water is and gained a better understanding of Noboribetsu Onsen’s abundant geothermal resources. The trip offered not only beautiful scenery but also a fascinating learning experience.

    This place is super unique! The whole pond is steaming, and there's a strong sulfur smell, but it really gives off that hot spring vibe. It honestly feels like watching a giant natural pot boiling water, lol. There are trails around the area, and when I visited in winter, the steam with the snowy scenery was just beautiful. The smell can be a bit intense though, so I wouldn't recommend staying too long. Overall, it's a really impressive natural spot. If you're into geothermal landscapes, you'll definitely think it's cool.
