Hokkaido: Lakes & Onsen

Last updated: September 30, 2025

Shikotsu and Tōya for caldera blues; Noboribetsu for steam; coastal evenings for fox‑watching.

Lake Mornings

Walk shoreline paths; rent a small boat if calm; watch for water birds.

Onsen Afternoons

Outdoor pools rimmed by rocks; etiquette first; showers, then soak.
