Falling for Noboribetsu: The Colors of Autumn

Autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons in Noboribetsu. Standing atop hell valley you will see the changing autumn colors – a rich and decadent mix of gold and orange leaves that will warm your heart and soul.

As you take a look around, basking under the cozy autumn sun, a comfortable, cool breeze embraces you and refreshes your spirit. What a beautiful time of the year indeed!

In Japan the tradition of viewing the changing autumn colors is called Koyo. Since the Edo period, people have learned how to appreciate and entertain themselves in the changing seasons. Today, one of the most popular activities is to take a visit to hot springs where they can see the Koyo and relax.
