Noboribetsu Grand Hotel is one of the flagship ryokan-style hotels in Noboribetsu Onsen, Hokkaido's most famous hot spring resort town and home to the spectacular Jigokudani (Hell Valley), a steaming volcanic caldera of boiling mud pools, sulfurous vents, and vivid mineral-encrusted rock that serves as both a dramatic natural attraction and the source of eleven distinct mineral water types flowing through the resort's baths. Noboribetsu's extraordinary variety of spring types — sodium chloride, sulfur, iron, alum, and more — in a single concentrated area is virtually unmatched in Japan, and the resort's demon (oni) mascots reflect the playful local mythology surrounding these infernal volcanic landscapes. Guests at the Grand Hotel can access multiple types of mineral baths within the facility, experiencing the full spectrum of Noboribetsu's legendary therapeutic waters beneath the steam-filled Hokkaido sky.
