Lake Shikaribetsu
Lake Shikaribetsu is the only natural lake in Daisetsuzan National Park. The lake is 810 meters above sea level, the highest point in Hokkaido, with a depth of approximately 100 meters at its deepest point. Virgin forest filled with trees such as the Todo Matsu (Abies sachalinensis, a species of conifer) and the Jezo spruce surround the lake in an area where nature has remained unchanged for hundreds and thousands of years. Valuable wildlife such as the Pika (a small, rabbit like mammal) inhabit the forest where, accompanied by experienced nature guides, you can be taken on walks through the pristine forest.
