All Japan Deep Travel (Youbaqi Studio).

In 1931, Japan passed the National Park Act, marking the beginning of the history of Japan's national parks. From Hokkaido to Okinawa, there are currently 34 national parks in Japan, covering a total area of 21,945 square kilometers, equivalent to 5.8% of Japan's land area. Japan currently has more than 34 national parks, all managed by the Ministry of the Environment. Relatively speaking, national parks are government-designated national parks that best represent Japan's natural scenery, providing visitors with opportunities to get close to nature and experience the ecosystem, and are well worth a visit~ Akan-Mashu National Park: Akan-Mashu National Park, composed of volcanoes, forests, and lakes, has the largest volcanic crater in Japan and is one of the oldest national parks in Hokkaido. Most of the area is covered by natural forests dominated by subarctic coniferous forests, and its primitive appearance is unique among many national parks. The three lakes in the park, Lake Akan, Lake Mashu, and Lake Kussharo, are not only the source of the park's name but also the main attractions. Lake Akan is clear and has beautiful natural scenery, making it a leisurely place for boating or bird watching. Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo are both crater lakes, with Lake Mashu known for its deep blue waters and surrounding rugged mountains; Lake Kussharo is known for its geothermal activity and sand springs, where you can experience sand bathing on the lakeside beach and seek tranquility and nature. In addition, the Ainu Kotan on the west side of Lake Akan Onsen is the largest Ainu settlement in Hokkaido, with about 30 households. Nearby, there are many folk art shops, and the Lake Akan Ainu Theater also performs traditional Ainu dances and puppet shows, which are rare experiences. Designated date: December 4, 1934 Area: 91,413 hectares Transportation: Take the Akan Bus from Kushiro Airport for about 70 minutes to Lake Akan Onsen.
