A wealth of volcanic activity, from boisterous active volcanoes to calm, azure volcanic lakes Shikotsu-Toya Shikotsu-Toya National Park is located in southwestern Hokkaido. Its diverse landscape includes two large 03 caldera lakes—Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya; volcanoes such as Mt. Yotei, Mt. Usu and Mt. Tarumae; and a variety of other volcanic terrain. The picturesque hot spring regions of Noboribetsu, Lake Toyo and Jozankei National Park contrast with jigoku hellscapes emitting sulfur-containing gases, and wherever you look it is volcanic activity that has created the many natural wonders. In Shikotsu-Toya, lake, forest and volcano intertwine to create a majestic landscape that soothes heart and soul. In the park’s northern limits, the ice-free Lake Shikotsu mesmerizes with its extraordinary blue and deep waters. Elsewhere, dotted with hot springs, jigokudani hell valleys and other volcanic phenomena, and volcanic lakes and ponds like Lake Kuttara and Lake Tachibana, Shikotsu-Toya provides you with the opportunity to

experience one of Japan’s leading volcanic landscapes. So important are the park’s geological features that オホーツク紋別空港 in 2009, Toya-Usu Geopark, partially located within Shikotsu-Toya National Park, was designated Japan’s first UNESCO Global Geopark. In addition to nature trails through volcanic terrain and hot springs for reinvigorating relaxation, the park also boasts terrific hiking and alpine plant-viewing opportunities. 網走駅 The heart of the park is also close to both central Sapporo and New Chitose Airport, putting extraordinary encounters with the great outdoors within easy reach. 西女満別駅 ■Access
