Lake Mashu:Untouched Hokkaido

Teshikaga Town: Lake Mashu
With an unearthly blue so unique that it is called “Mashu blue”, Lake Mashu will make you feel like you’re in another world.

Lake Mashu is located 11km from Teshikaga Town and 12km from Kawayu Hot Springs. The surface of the lake is 351m above sea level, with a circumference of around 20km, an area of 19.2km2 and a depth of 211.4m at its deepest point. It is the world's clearest caldera lake. The lake is surrounded by 300-400m-high cliffs with an average gradient of 45 degrees - steeper than you'll see around any other lake. Lake Mashu is renowned for its mist, and for the way its water level mysteriously remains the same even though no rivers flow in or out. With almost no impurities, the water of Lake Mashu looks like it has been dyed in indigo. Its deep blue color is so unique that it is called Mashu blue. The area around Lake Mashu has been designated as a special protected area, even by national park standards, to protect the incredible nature. Untouched by human hands (people are prohibited from entering the immediate surroundings), this beautiful, rugged, mysterious lake amazes everyone who gazes upon it from the various viewpoints nearby.

Untouched Hokkaido
Eastern Hokkaido has a history and geography all of its own. Despite its location in Japan, it is actually on the North American tectonic plate, and as a result it is full of extremely rare plant life. Eastern Hokkaido locals have coexisted for generations with the area's rare wildlife and the nature in the national parks that those animals call home, and as a result there are many natural areas that are untouched by human hands.

Mt. Io:Untouched Hokkaido/硫黄山

Teshikaga Town: Mt. Io

Stand inches away from the pulse of the earth
With the distinctive smell of sulfur and alpine plants at much lower altitudes than they usually grow, Mt. Io is like a scene from another planet. Mt. Io is located around 3km from Kawayu Hot Springs, and is called Atosa-nupuri (bare mountain) in Ainu. To this day, sulfur plumes rise from various areas of the mountain, with an incredible rumbling sound. Large-scale sulfur mining once took place here, which played a significant role in Teshikaga Town's development.
Parking is free during the winter (late November to early April).
Parking fees apply during summer: 200 for a motorcycle, 500 for a car, 1,000 for a minibus, 2,000 for a large bus
*Mt. Io is currently closed to the public for safety reasons, as there is currently a risk of falling rocks.
