🧗‍♂️ This time, we introduce one of the area’s major landmarks, Mt. Tarumae!! 🌋

Mt. Tarumae stands at 1,041 meters and is famed as a rare triple-vent active volcano. You can hike the trail that circles the crater, known as the “ohachi meguri.”
Nearby is Mt. Fuppushi, and you can traverse between the two peaks. 🥾

It takes about 60 minutes by car from the city to the 7th Station parking lot, and about 50 minutes to reach the summit from the 7th Station, making it a great choice even for beginners!! 💁‍♀️

The mountain is beloved for alpine plant observation and sweeping views of Lake Shikotsu and the Pacific Ocean, offering an accessible taste of serious mountaineering. 🥰

The municipal road between the Mt. Tarumae 5th Gate and the 7th Station parking lot, “Shido Tarumae-san Kanko Dosen,” had been closed for winter, but it was finally reopened on Friday, May 26 at 5:00 p.m. 🎉✨

The adjacent parking lot is free to use and holds about 70 cars. 🚙

Why not work up a sweat on Mt. Tarumae this summer? 🥵

※ When climbing, prepare thoroughly before you start (and don’t forget to file a mountain-climbing notification!).
The current eruption alert level is 1, but there is strong volcanic gas emission and some ground heating.
Also, parts of the trail are slippery, so please take care.

※ The “Shido Tarumae-san Kanko Dosen” is a narrow gravel road—drive slowly and yield to oncoming vehicles.

※ The parking lot can fill up early on holidays.
Please be aware of this in advance.
