    Aomori Pref. Aomorishi Arakawa Minamiarakawayama In the ground
    Located near the Sukayu hot spring district, known as one of oldest hot spring areas in the country used by everyday people for health and relaxation, this pond is formed by the pooling of the warm waters welling up from the ground in the vicinity of the remains of the explosion crater of Hakkoda Volcano. As a relic of the volcanic activity the area once experienced, even today hot water over 90°C continuously wells up from the ground; there are also fumaroles which emit gasses containing sulfur and other chemicals, and vapors hang heavily in the vicinity of the lake. Due to the compounds contained in the hot spring waters, plants are unable to thrive here, and the desolation of the area interwoven with the fresh verdure in the spring and colorful foliage in the fall of the surrounding mountains results in unique scenery that is well worth seeing.

Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
