Toyako Town, within Shikotsu-Toya National Park, is one of Hokkaido's premier hot spring resort destinations set on the shores of a stunning caldera lake. Lake Toya, a perfectly circular caldera lake formed by volcanic activity some 110,000 years ago, is ringed by pristine nature and graceful mountains. Over 100 hotels and ryokan line the lakeshore, and the legendary Toyako Long-Run Fireworks Festival lights up the sky every single night from late April through late October — making it one of Japan's most extraordinary fireworks traditions. The surrounding volcanic landscape, including Mt. Usu and Showa Shinzan, is recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark. Toyako also hosted the 2008 G8 Summit, giving it an international profile to match its natural beauty.

Sobetsu Town

Sobetsu Town, on the southeastern shore of Lake Toya (entry 01_0040) in the Iburi region of Hokkaido, is home to one of the world's most remarkable geological phenomena — 'Showa-Shinzan', a 398-metre volcano that rose from a wheat field in just two years (1943–1945) during World War II. Designated as a National Special Natural Monument, its dramatic birth was documented in extraordinary detail by a local postmaster, Masao Mimatsu, whose hand-drawn 'Mimatsu Diagram' remains a landmark of world volcanology. Immediately adjacent, the active volcano 'Mt. Usu' (Usuzan) offers a ropeway to its 737-metre summit, where panoramic views sweep across Lake...

Toyoura Town

Toyoura Town, in the Abuta district of the Iburi region of Hokkaido, faces the shores of Funka Bay (Uchiura Bay) adjacent to Lake Toya (01_0040) and Sobetsu (01_0092). The town is famous across Hokkaido as the birthplace of 'Toyoura Strawberries' — a beloved local brand developed over more than 80 years of cultivation research, producing large, intensely sweet-tart field-grown berries that peak from late May to July. Strawberry picking at local farms is a popular family activity for Hokkaido road-trippers on the Toya-Muroran route. 'Toyoura Strawberry Sherbet', the signature product at the Michi-no-Eki Toyoura roadside station, captures the pure flavor...

Date City
Hokkaido

Date City

Date City, in the Iburi region of southwestern Hokkaido, is nicknamed 'the Shonan of Hokkaido' for its remarkably mild climate. The city was founded by the Watari-Date clan from the Sendai Domain, and its Edo-period heritage lends it a gentler, more refined atmosphere than much of Hokkaido. The Kitakogane Shell Mound (a national historic site) preserves Jomon-era traces. One of Hokkaido's few areas where plum trees thrive, Date stages a rare and delightful plum blossom season in spring. With Mt. Usu, Mt. Showa-shinzan, and Lake Toya visible on the horizon, the city enjoys one of the best panoramic positions in...
