Mt. Io, Teshikaga-cho

3.8

#1 of 42 in Things to do in Teshikaga-cho

Witness the natural spectacle of sulfur vents at Mt. Io, an active volcano releasing sulfuric gases that often cause the surrounding landscape to turn yellow. A short 2.5 km (1.55 mi) scenic walk from the nearby town or from the onsite parking lot brings you right to the steaming vents and the rocky, barren landscape. The parking lot's fee includes access to the Lake Mashu caldera viewpoint. Plan a Teshikaga-cho trip in moments using our itinerary builder.

摩周湖、屈斜路湖の間にあります。山自体は車で降りて直ぐです。硫黄の噴出口まで行こうとすると足下が悪いのでスニーカーがお勧めです。温泉が湧き出ているのを触ることが出来ますが、場所によってはかなり熱いです。 more »

It is located between Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo. The mountain itself is just off the train. Sneakers are recommended because the foot is bad when going to the outlet of sulfur. You can touch the hot springs springing up, but it is quite hot depending on the location.

摩周湖第１展望台で駐車料金を払うと，ここの駐車場チケットがセットでついてきた。最初，ここに来る気はなかったが，チケットが無駄になるのでよってみた。個人的には，時間があれば良いが，時間がなかったらスルーしても良いかな。 more »

When I paid the parking fee at Lake Mashu's first observatory, the parking ticket here came with a set. At first, I didn't want to come here, but I tried to waste my ticket. Personally, i wish I had time, but if I didn't have time, I could go through.
