Daisetsuzan National Park

Home , Asahikawa, Asahikawa Station, Obihiro

Japan’s largest mountainous national park, called Kamuy Mintara —"the playground of the gods”— Daisetsuzan by the Indigenous Ainu people 02 The vast, seemingly endless landscape of Daisetsuzan National Park is the result of millions of years National Park of geological activity, beginning as deposits from the Hidaka Supergroup which accumulated on the seafloor during the Mesozoic Era which then subsequently rose and sculpted the landscape as lava and pyroclastic flows dating to eruptions during the Cenozoic Era (chiefly the Quaternary period). Daisetsuzan’s boundless, pristine mountain scenery has to be seen to be believed. A land of contrasts, dynamic scenery and elegance live side by side. Even now, smoke swirls upwards from Mt. Asahi and Mt. Tokachi, a testament to the area’s incredible volcanic activity, and large calderas, including the Tokachi-Mitsumata Caldera, sit on the horizon. Deep in valleys, snow lasts through summer, and multicolored alpine plants carpet the mountainside. If you’re lucky, you might spy a pika, a survivor of the ice age that resembles a small rabbit. This exquisite and mysterious landscape is revered by the indigenous Ainu people, who consider it sacred ground, calling it Kamuy Mintara, “the playground of the gods.” Daisetsuzan graces the area’s inhabitants with a treasure trove of natural blessings, including hot springs like Sounkyo Onsen Hot Spring, Asahidake Onsen Hot Spring and Nukabira Onsen Hot Spring Village.
