As you drive through the thick forests that seem to continue forever, a beautiful lake surrounded by majestic nature comes into view. “Lake Shikotsu” is well known for the clarity of its water and was once listed on “The Best Water in Japan” by the Ministry of Environment. This is a caldera lake, the remains of a very large volcanic eruption a hundred thousand years ago, where the water is highly mineral rich and is well known for its rich flora and fauna. Have a lunch at Toyako Manseikaku, and enjoy the refreshing view of the lake side. Proceed to Mt. Usu was the first in Japan to be designated as Global Geoparks in August 2009 by Global Geopark Network supported by UNESCO. They feature lots of places to visit. Why not go to the footpaths (walking paths) and get educated by guide posts and guide tours, etc. There are 58 Global Geoparks in 18 countries and Toya Caldera and Usu Volcano Geopark is recognized as 59th of them. Take the ropeway to up there to see Mt. Usu. This is a recommended tour that allows you to visit two of Hokkaido’s signature lakes in one day.
