Wild Hokkaido!
Season 2 Episode 9 - The Nature Surrounding Noboribetsu
Our stage today is Noboribetsu, one of Japan’s major hot-spring resorts, located in the southern part of Hokkaido. You will see many volcanic ducts and hot water spouts along the valley which suggests that vigorous volcanic activity is still taking place. Our host, Charlotte Kate Fox, tries out a natural hot spring footbath, which has water flowing into the river. She will then explore the town at night, which reveals a completely different atmosphere. We will also present rare footage such as a primeval forest surrounding the hot-spring town, as well as wild birds which depend upon the volcanic warmth to survive Hokkaido’s bitter winters.
