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.

Kawayu Onsen in Winter
Kawayu Onsen in Teshikaga Town is a hot spring district that flows with a small river of hot spring water. The hot spring originates from the nearby Iozan (sulfur mountain), and the smell of sulfur permeates the air here. On very cold winter days, water vapor from the river freezes as rime on the shrubs and trees, creating beautiful white winter scenery that is visible only in the morning.

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.

【自然と温泉とおいしさと】標茶の下オソベツ温泉 味幸園
釧路市の北部に位置する標茶町にある下オソベツ温泉 味幸園。源泉掛け流しのモール泉に入浴できることで知られています。浴場には内湯が2つ。コーヒーのような少し甘めな匂いがします。これがモール臭なのででしょうか。温泉成分が茶色く沈殿し、かつて白色と思われるライオンの湧出口も茶色く染まっていました。お湯に入るとツルツル感がスゴイです。こんなに素晴らしいのに、保健所の許可が得られていないので、飲泉できません。残念。

てしかがエコツアー しぶき氷 けあらし 屈斜路湖
In Teshikaga Town, the average temperature in December is less than 0 degrees. Then Splash ice and Ice fog occur.You can see special splash ice on the lake shore where hot springs are hard to freeze.Conditions for splash ice are that the lake water is not freezing, cold north wind blows, wavy. Furthermore, when the wave reaches the tree, it becomes a dynamic large splash ice.Ice fog occurs when the temperature is higher than the water temperature.The charm of Lake Kussharo is that trees are growing close to the shore.
弟子屈町では12月の平均気温が0度以下になる。するとSplash iceやIce fog が発生する。
温泉もあり水が凍りにくい湖岸で、あなたは特別な飛沫氷を見ることができます。
splash ice が出来る条件は、湖の水が凍っていないこと、冷たい北風が吹くこと、波があることです。さらに波が樹に達した方が、ダイナミックな大きなsplash ice になります。
けあらし は 水温より気温が高いときに発生します。屈斜路湖の魅力は岸近くまで樹が生えていることがです。
【自然と温泉とおいしさと】弟子屈の川湯温泉 池田屋
川湯温泉は日本でも屈指の酸性値の温泉が有名で、弟子屈町にあります。今回伺ったのは別館湯元池田屋。混浴露天風呂と男女別の浴場、貸し切り露天風呂があり、私は混浴露天風呂と男女別の浴場で入浴しました。入浴料金は1200円。タオルも貸してくれます。混浴露天風呂の草原の湯は、屋根がなく、開放感が抜群です。森林浴も合せてできちゃう雰囲気。ただ、洗い場が無いので、男女別の浴場で体を洗ってから、入浴する方が良いでしょう。
男女別の浴場には、露天風呂が1つ、内湯が3つあり、1つは温泉ではない摩周湖の伏流水を温めたお湯で、その他にサウナと水風呂が1つづつあります。また、同じ場所に岩盤浴もありました。露天風呂は屋根と目隠しの壁があるので、開放感はありませんが、お湯が適温でなかなかの気持ちよさ。内湯もあつ湯とぬる湯があり、好みで楽しめます。お湯は酸性・含鉄（Ⅱ）-ナトリウム-塩化物・硫酸塩泉で、無色、透明、酸っぱい味、弱硫黄臭。温泉成分の総計は5.442g。メタケイ酸が254.7gと超美肌の湯で、しかも源泉掛け流しです。いいことづくめですね。飲泉もできるようなので飲んでみると、かなり酸っぱい感じです。まあ私の好みの味でしたが。
Sea of Clouds Over Lake Mashu in the Early Morning / 摩周湖早朝雲海

Around 20 minutes by car from Kawayu Hot Springs is Lake Mashu Viewpoint No. 3. Arrive here between sunrise and around 8:00 AM and you might see an incredible sea of clouds. The clouds covering the sky change from one movement to the next - you won't be able to tear your eyes away! The scene is completed by waves of clouds that flow over Lake Mashu from the surrounding mountains. June to September is the best time to see the sea of clouds in Teshikaga Town. Lake Mashu Viewpoint No. 3 is the best vantage point, at over 100m higher than Viewpoint No. 1. If you're lucky, you'll see a double sea of clouds around you, with clouds covering both Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo! Make sure you check the best time of morning and viewing conditions in advance, as it changes depending on the season and the weather.
川湯温泉から摩周第３展望台までは車で約20分。日の出前から朝8時ぐらいまでが雲海の見頃だ。空を覆う雲海は、刻一刻と姿を変え、見る者の心を奪う。雲の波が外輪山から摩周湖に流れ込むように湖面を覆う、その様は圧巻の一言。弟子屈町で雲海を見るなら6月から9月がベストシーズン。摩周第3展望台の標高は、第1展望台よりも100メートル以上高く、雲海スポットとしては第３展望台がおすすめ。運が良ければ、360度見渡す限り雲海に埋め尽くされた摩周湖と、屈斜路湖両方の雲海、通称「ダブル雲海」を見ることができる！ 雲海の見ごろの時間帯は、季節や気象条件などにより異なるので事前の確認を。

【自然と温泉とおいしさと】弟子屈の摩周温泉（鐺別温泉） 亀之湯
弟子屈町にある摩周温泉。桜ヶ丘の方には、摩周温泉に統合された鐺別温泉があり、亀之湯はその一つ。完全な銭湯で、一角には番台のような部屋があります。脱衣所には昔懐かしい竹編のかご。そして、地元のお店から贈呈された大きな鏡があります。浴室には内湯が1つ。温めなお湯でしたが、大きな音とともに温まる仕組みがありようです。地元の入浴客が何かをしていました。お湯はアルカリ性単純泉で、無色、透明、無味、無臭です。
