Shikotsu-Toya National Park is located in the southwestern part of Hokkaido, and it offers a variety of volcanic and geothermal features such as Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, Mount Yotei, Mount Usu, and Mount Tarumae. The park is often referred to as a "living museum of volcanoes" due to its numerous volcanic activities including diverse hot springs and fumaroles. Thanks to these volcanic blessings, popular hot spring resorts like Noboribetsu, Lake Toya, and Jozankei thrive in Hokkaido, offering breathtaking landscapes of lakes, forests, and volcanoes that soothe the minds of visitors. Lake Shikotsu, known as the northernmost ice-free lake, captivates visitors with its unique deep blue surface. The park is easily accessible from Sapporo city center and New Chitose Airport, attracting many visitors. In addition to self-driving and group bus tours for exploring volcanic phenomena and enjoying rejuvenating hot springs, the park is also utilized for mountain climbing and alpine plant viewing.(Source: Ministry of the Environment, Japan, website: https://www.env.go.jp/nature/nationalparks/list/)
