Lake Shikotsu
Lake Shikotsu pairs unusually clear water with wooded volcanic mountains. The pin marks its eastern-shore visitor centre, a useful arrival point for the lakefront; water activities require separate seasonal arrangements.
Why go
The visitor-centre area offers a clear way to approach Lake Shikotsu without guessing at a point in the middle of the water. Walk to the eastern shore to see the blue lake against the surrounding volcanic slopes. Boat or water activities can add time, but should be planned separately because availability changes with season and weather.
What to look for
Clear lake water from the eastern shore.
