Kushiro Marsh

This is an Onsen near Lake Akan. The local area used to be a large Ainu settlement, and in addition to souvenir shops and restaurants, there are traditional Ainu instrumental performances and dances held here, with a traditional Ainu musical instrument known as the "Mukkuri".

This is a caldera lake in Akan Mashu National Park. It is known as the second most transparent lake in the world, after Baikal lake. With a depth of 211m, very little light other than blue light is reflected, creating a beautiful deep blue effect, giving it the name of "Mashu blue" in Japan.

This is an onsen along the Tokachi River. The area is famous for onsen with a large variety of plant life. The area was historically treasured by the Ainu people as a place of healing. During December to mid March, white swans migrate to this river area. This area is also ideal for outdoor activities.
