Mt. Tarumae
The view of the powerful volcano is spectacular
Located southeast of Lake Shikotsu, Mt. Tarumae is an active volcano with a unique lava dome shaped like a pudding. 1,041 meters above sea level, it takes about one hour to reach the top (Higashiyama) from the parking lot at the 7th station (currently off-limits from the outer ring due to volcanic gas). ) It is well known as a mountain where you can observe alpine flora and enjoy the magnificent view of Lake Shikotsu and the Pacific Ocean, and where you can enjoy a real mountain climbing experience close at hand.
