Jigokunuma Pond

Located not far from Sukayu Onsen, this pond was created about 800 years ago by an explosive volcanic eruption in the Hakkōda Mountains. Covering roughly 4,500㎡, it formed when hot spring water bubbling up in the area collected in an old explosion crater. Even today, steam vents-remnants of past volcanic activity-dot the surroundings, and the distinct scent of sulfur hangs in the air. This eerie atmosphere is what inspired the name “Jigokunuma,” or “Hell Pond.”

Beyond Oboke Gorge, called one of the leading unexplored regions of Japan, you will find Oku-Iya Niju Kazurabashi Bridge. On a plateau with an elevation of about 1000 meters, there is an ancient double suspension bridge by this name, made of creeping plants such as ivy-leafed ferns.
