【Tokachi Ashoro・Lake Akiiro Lake Onneto】 An attractive scenery that you want to visit even if you get up early, is the autumn leaves at their peak this week?! Lake Where Time Stops Lake Onneto Lake Onneto Lake Onneto is a beautiful lake with a circumference of 2.5 km located at the westernmost point of Akan Mashu National Park and at the foot of Mt. Meakan. It attracts many tourists with its beauty and native charm. It is a mysterious lake that changes color to clear blue, emerald green, and dark blue depending on the season, weather, and viewing angle. There is a wooden observation deck on the west side of the lakeside where you can overlook the Lake Onneto with Mt. Meakan and Akan Fuji in the background. There are walking paths around the lakeside, and you can enjoy the untouched nature surrounded by primeval forest. In the surrounding area, there are Onneto Yunotaki Falls Meakan Hot Springs and a national campsite (from June ~ the end of October) that is also the starting point for mountain climbing. @NPO Ashoro Tourism Association

Introducing the post of the official account of "NPO Ashoro Tourism Association"! Ashoro is a town full of nature located in the northeastern part of Tokachi. Lake Onneto is a popular tourist attraction in Ashoro. In addition, about 1.5 km walk from the Lake Onneto, Onneto Yunotaki Falls (Lake Onneto Yunotaki) was previously used as a secret hot spring. It is also designated as a national natural monument because it is a valuable place where manganese deposits are formed on the seabed and their effects can be confirmed on the ground. ◆Onneto Yunotaki Falls◆ 【Address】Hokkaido Ashoro Shigeru Ashoro National Forest 【Tel】0156-25-2141 (Forestry, Commerce and Tourism Office, Ashoro Economic Division) 【Access】 From JR Kushiro Station, take the Akan Bus bound for Akanko Bus Terminal→ get off at the last stop, about 20 minutes by car (about 2 hours 20 minutes in total)

What kind of place is Ashoro?
We will introduce plenty of Ashoro attractions and sightseeing spots to everyone who sees the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, so thank you!

Ashoro is the largest town and village in Japan in the northeastern part of Tokachi.
Forestry and agriculture are thriving, and about 80% of the town's area is forested.
The population is about 6,500.
Basically, you can travel by car in the town, and access by car from major cities in Hokkaido is as follows.
・About 1 hour by car from Obihiro
・About one and a half hours by car from Kushiro
・About one and a half hours by car from Kitami
・About 3 and a half hours by car from Sapporo
・About 3 and a half hours by car from Asahikawa

One of the popular tourist spots of such a Ashoro is "Ashoro Galaxy Hall 21" in the center of the Ashoro.
It was originally built as an ashiyoro station on the Hokkaido Chihoku Kogen Railway "Furusato Galaxy Line" and was registered as a roadside station in 2004, but after the "Furusato Galaxy Line" was discontinued in 2006, it was reopened in 2011 and became its current appearance.

In the facility, the tracks and trains used for 95 years are reproduced by making use of the original platform.
In addition, Ashoro is the birthplace of singer-songwriter Chiharu Matsuyama, and the "Chiharu Matsuyama Gallery" in the facility is decorated with her favorite guitar and stage costumes.

"Onneto" is recommended for those who want to enjoy sightseeing spots surrounded by Ashoro nature.
Onneto is a lake with a circumference of 2.5 km west of Akan-Mashu National Park and was formed by the eruption of Mt. Meakan about 2,000 years ago.
Since the color of the lake surface changes depending on the season, weather, and where you see it, it is also called "Goshikinuma" and "Mysterious Lake".
* It takes about 50 minutes by car from the Ashoro city center.
* During the winter period (December ~ April), the road leading to the lake is closed and vehicles are not allowed to pass. For details, please see the website of the Ashoro Tourism Association.

Finally, we would like to introduce some of Ashoro's most popular events.
The "Ashiyoro Furusato Bon Odori Ryogoku Fireworks Festival" held every August is the largest event in the town where as many as 8,000 fireworks dye the night sky of Ashiyoro in vivid colors (* In 2022, only fireworks were launched).

When sightseeing in Hokkaido, please come to Ashoro.
Japan's largest town with untouched nature awaits you with the best hospitality.
