2. Lake Kussharo
We can do not only enjoy scenes, but also touch the nature around Lake Kussharo.
Lake Kussharo is the biggest lake in Hokkaido. This lake was made by super volcano’s eruption, so this lake is surrounded by many mountains and very big.
There are swans in winter. Swans come very near to us. You can take pics with them!
And when you are at one of the part of the beach of this lake called Sunayu, You can make your own hot spring, onsen, by digging the sand. After digging, You can enjoy Ashiyu, foot bath, in nature.
