Overview

Shikotsu-Toya National Park is a large protected area in south-western Hokkaidō, centred on two volcanic caldera lakes, Lake Shikotsu and Lake Tōya. It also encompasses Mount Yōtei, Mount Usu, Mount Tarumae, the Noboribetsu hot-spring area and the Jōzankei Gorge area. In reality, it is not one compact wilderness surrounding Mount Yōtei, but a group of geographically separated park areas administered as one national park.
