Okunoyu is right next to Oyunuma in Noboribetsu. The water temperature reaches 75–80°C, and the color is a beautiful emerald green. You can't bathe here, but you can really feel the heat and smell the sulfur up close. It's a pretty unique experience!

Ukiha Inari Shrine
Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine apportioned a deity here to Ukiha Inari Shrine, launching the founding in 1957 alongside enshrined deities Matsuo Taisha Shrine (Ooyamakui-no-Kami) and Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine (Sugawara no Michizane). Known as a powerful spiritual site, visitors here often seek blessings for success in business, bountiful harvests, sake brewing, good health, and academic achievement.
Ukiha Inari Shrine is gorgeous! The red torii gates are super impressive, and walking through them feels so authentically Japanese. It's a great spot for photos, and the atmosphere is really peaceful—perfect for relaxing.
