Lake Shikotsu in Autumn — A Caldera Lake Born of Fire

Formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, Lake Shikotsu is famed for its crystal clarity. Each autumn, the surrounding mountains blaze in crimson and gold, their colors mirrored on the lake’s glassy surface. The crisp northern air and serene reflections make it one of Hokkaido’s most enchanting seasonal landscapes.

We not only introduce remarkable destinations, but also design bespoke itineraries that include exclusive stays at nearby luxury hotels. As an example, we are pleased to present Shikotsuko Tsuruga Besso Ao no Za.
