In Japan, places with geothermal hot springs are often called 'hell valleys.' Unzen Jigoku is pretty big, and the strong smell of sulfur fills the whole area. Local shops even cook raw eggs in pots using the hot spring water and sell them as onsen eggs.

Hitenryu
Located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Hitenryu is a yakiniku restaurant run by three brothers who carry on the founder’s vision of establishing a true yakiniku culture in the city. The restaurant is well regarded by locals for its selection of rare cuts of Noto beef and Noto pork.
The food is more on the hearty, no-frills side—not the delicate, refined type. Plating is pretty basic, but the focus is definitely on flavor.
Service speed is decent. During peak hours it gets crowded, so you may have to wait a bit.
The vibe inside is lively, great for coming with friends, but it’s not really the place for a quiet chat. -
Hida Takayama Old Townscape
Hida Takayama Old Townscape is said to be a town where the original landscape of Japan remains, as the streets from the Edo period still remain, and the charming town houses and noren (curtains) of old stores continue to be seen.
There are lots of restaurants and snack shops along the old street, offering all kinds of tasty food. The Hida beef is especially tender and flavorful—definitely a must-try!
