| Oyunuma River: A Misty Tapestry of Forest and Water |
Imagine soaking your tired feet in steaming hot spring water after a long hike through the geothermal wonders of Noboribetsu, Hokkaido. The River Oyunuma Natural Footbath offers this delightful experience for free! Located along the Jigokudani Oyunuma Nature Trail near Taisho Jigoku, this footbath harnesses the natural overflow from Oyunuma Pond, a massive hot spring pond nearly a kilometer in circumference.
Picture yourself surrounded by a lush forest as you relax in the warm water, ranging from 40°C to 50°C (104°F to 122°F). The scenic beauty creates a truly tranquil atmosphere, perfect for unwinding and letting your worries melt away.

During my visit, the weather was cloudy and foggy. At the Natural Footbath, the mist in the forest created a fairytale-like atmosphere.
