Teshikaga Town lies at the heart of Akan-Mashu National Park in eastern Hokkaido, a gateway to eastern Hokkaido blessed with lakes and hot springs. The town is home to two celebrated lakes — the mystical Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo, one of Hokkaido's largest caldera lakes — with distinctive hot spring towns such as Kawayu Onsen and Mashu Onsen dotting their shores. In winter, fantastical scenes unfold as steam rises from vents on the frozen surface of Lake Kussharo and whooper swans gather on its snowy shores. Combining rich nature, Ainu culture, and quality hot springs, Teshikaga is a stay-and-explore destination that welcomes travelers from Japan and abroad.
