Shikotsu-Toya National Park

Shikotsu-Toya National Park is a natural wonderland that showcases the stunning beauty of Hokkaido. This park is a haven for nature lovers, offering a diverse landscape that includes caldera lakes, active volcanoes, and lush forests. Imagine standing by the crystal-clear Lake Shikotsu, one of the deepest lakes in Japan, or gazing at the majestic Mount Yotei, often referred to as Hokkaido's Mount Fuji.

The park is named after its two famous lakes: Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya. Both lakes boast clear blue waters and are surrounded by mountains, providing breathtaking views and a sense of serenity. Whether you're kayaking on the lake, hiking the trails, or soaking in a natural hot spring, there's an abundance of activities to connect you with nature.

Shikotsu-Toya National Park is not just a place of beauty; it's a destination where you can experience the dynamic forces of nature. Witness the steam vents and sulfurous streams of Noboribetsu, known as "Hell Valley," or explore the volcanic landscapes around Showa Shinzan.
