The Shikotsu Toya National Park
Japan has finally open its door to tourists after a long 2 years pause of travelling. Japan is a place filled with historical rich culture and many natural volcanic lakes and hot pools.
One of which is the Shikotsu Toya National Park located at Minami Ward at Abuta district where firstly the admission is free. Secondly, there are many hiking trails also located in the vicinity of this national park just that you have to endure with the strong sulpuric smell of the volcanic smokes. There are more than over 20 over hiking trails here, so do remember to do your homework before coming here!

Shikotsu Toya national park Japan 🇯🇵
#traveldiaries
Shikotsu-Toya National Park is a national park in the western part of the island of Hokkaido, Japan. 🇯🇵
Named after the volcanic caldera lakes of Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, it has a total area of 993.02 square kilometers.
A quicker option is one of the frequent 90-minute plane rides from Haneda Airport or Narita Airport to New Chitose Airport near Sapporo. From there, take the Hokkaido Chuo bus to Lake Shikotsu Bus Terminal (55 min) for Lake Shikotsu.

Shikotsu-Toya National Park's Hidden Gems
#japantrip
Just an hour from Sapporo, Shikotsu-Toya National Park is a treasure trove of natural wonders. My visit was divided between two breathtaking destinations. First, I explored Jigokudani (Hell Valley), where steaming volcanic activity and Noboribetsu Onsen Resort left me in awe. Next, I discovered Lake Toya, a stunning 10km diameter lake born from a volcanic caldera, perfect for camping and cherry blossom spotting. The park's diverse landscapes and geological wonders made for an unforgettable adventure. With its unique blend of natural beauty and relaxation, Shikotsu-Toya National Park is a must-visit for any nature enthusiast.
