Hello everyone! This is the Lake Mashu Tourism Association.
We will introduce many highlights and ways to enjoy Teshikaga in Hokkaido to everyone who watches the Cool Japan video!
First of all, do you know how to read "Teshikaga Town"?

This is read as "Teshikagacho".
Speaking of Hokkaido, Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo are popular tourist spots visited by many tourists, but Teshikaga Town has Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo.

Lake Mashu has deep blue water and is known as the Lake of Gods.
The blue surface of the water is called "Lake Mashu Blue" and boasts the highest transparency in the Japan and one of the best in the world.

To enjoy this beautiful lake, we recommend visiting the observatory.
Mashu Daiichi Observatory is the most popular observatory visited by 1 million people a year.
There is also a toilet and rest house in a large parking lot, so you can use it even for breaks.
The parking lots of the Mashu Third Observatory and the Uramashu Observatory are also free, and you can see the different faces of Lake Mashu.
From the Mashu 1st Observatory and the Mashu 3rd Observatory, if luck and weather conditions are good, the entire surface of Lake Mashu is covered with mist, and the accumulated mist can be seen as a "sea of clouds".

Lake Kussharo is one of the largest caldera lakes in the world and the largest caldera lake in Japan (a lake where water accumulated in the crater after the volcano erupted).
There are many natural hot springs gushing out on the lakeside, so you can enjoy hot springs in open-air baths, saunas, and large hotels that make use of nature as it is.
In summer, you can also enjoy water sports such as camping, canoeing and yachting.
In Teshikaga Town, where nature spreads, you can also enjoy activities such as horse riding, golf, fishing, cycling, and dairy farming experience.
