[Hokkaido Teshikaga trip] Feel the great nature at Ioyama! Warm up in the Kussharo lake sand bath!
This video shows Lake Kussharo, the largest caldera lake in Hokkaido,
Visit the nearby active volcano Mt. Io.
At Mt. Io, you can see the white smoke and sulfur crystals coming out of the fumaroles up close.
At Lake Kussharo, there is a sand bath where hot springs come out when you dig the sandy beach,
I enjoyed making my own open-air bath.
About Mt. Iou
ーーーーーーーーーー
Mount Io is an active volcano in eastern Hokkaido.
It means "naked mountain" in Ainu language.
Volcanic smoke erupts from the surface of the mountain,
There is a smell of sulfur all around.
It has an altitude of 512 meters and is located near Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo.
Mt. Io has a history of flourishing with sulfur mining during the Meiji period.
Railways were laid to transport mines,
Contributed to the development of Hokkaido development.
However, due to problems such as depletion of resources and mine pollution, mining was stopped and now
It has become a tourist attraction.
About Lake Kussharo sand bath
ーーーーーーーーーー
Lake Kussharo Sunayu is a natural hot spring located on the shore of the lake.
If you dig the sandy beach, a hot spring will spring out,
You can make your own open-air bath.
The hot spring is a sulfur spring and is said to be gentle on the skin.
The sand bath came from Siberia in winter,
It is also famous as a resting place for whooper swans.
In summer, it is also popular as a campground.
