The Niseko Volcanic Group is a cluster of volcanoes dominated by the perfectly symmetrical Mount Yotei, often called the 'Fuji of Hokkaido.' This area is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers, with trails leading through alpine meadows, volcanic craters, and forests. The most popular hike is Mount Yotei itself, a challenging climb rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Other peaks like Mount Annupuri offer easier treks. The distinctive feature is the dramatic volcanic scenery and the opportunity to witness active geothermal activity, including hot springs and fumaroles.
Don't miss
- Hike Mount Yotei for a full-day climb and 360-degree views from the crater rim.
- Explore the crater of Mount Annupuri with its steaming vents and alpine flora.
- Soak in natural hot springs at the base of the volcanic group, such as Niseko Onsen.
