Beautiful place to visit after lake Akan. A must visit place to feel like heavenly atmosphere. Cool breeze and beautiful views and nice pictures to be taken. Enjoyed this place but the driving was little winding road so be careful and drive within limits of the speed mentioned. Sharp turns are inclined.

Amazing spot to get a full 360 view of the lake but also the mountains! Cute little cafe to buy souvenirs, snacks and drinks. Sell a delicious soft ice as well! The chocolate milk is a must try!

By the time we arrived, it was so foggy that we couldn’t see anything from the observation deck. Many visitors left after a short stop at the souvenir shop. We decided to check the weather forecast, which predicted clear and sunny skies later in the day. So, we took our time—had some coffee and a light lunch—hoping the sky would clear up. About twenty minutes later, a magical moment happened! When we looked out from the shop, we saw patches of blue sky, and the fog began to lift. Soon, we were able to enjoy a stunning view of the entire lake, shimmering under the sunlight. It’s highly recommended to check the local weather forecast before visiting, as it can really help you plan your trip better.

If you only have limited time around Lake Mashu, head to Observatory 1, where there's a bird's eye view from a high vantage point for the entire lake. Grab an ice cream or pork rice at the cafe and pick up some souvenirs as well.

Most beautiful sea I saw so far 🫡 One observatory is free, the other one has 500¥ parking fee for cars.

Cold and windy day but the views of Lake Mashu and nearby mountains are great. Lots of wildlife in the area, so please be careful while driving.

The observatory is a deck on top of the Lake Mashu visitor center and a further deck at the top end of the car park. The visitor center contains a souvenir shop, cafe and toilets. It costs ¥500 to park, but the ticket will also cover parking at Mt.Io on the same day. The top deck has seating. The entrance for the Mt.Mashu hike is at the bottom end of the carpark near the 24 hour toilets.

Good place to see sunrise and sea of cloud. Sea of cloud forms when there is rain the day before. Good parking lot beside view point.

It was long journey with the rent car from sapporo, but the weather was great and I could see the real blue of Mashu lake. I visited here a year ago but still this photo is my window background. I never forget feeling.

Jaw dropping views of this caldera lake. The pristine blue, the sheer size. The carpark is just opposite the roadside. Short climb to the top. Many insects in summer but the view is more than worth it. Must visit in Hokkaido!!!

Beautiful view of the lake but there are no facilities - if you need, best go to No. 1 viewpoint (but the view from there is not as good!)

3rd observatory is free but if you go to the 1st, ticket include the visit of the Mt IO rest house

It’s like paradise on earth. Better than the national parks in the U.S. not a piece of scrap found.

Wonderful point of view with parking, ice cream 🍦 picture of the lake at mid april

This is quite a worthy stop with a small visitor centre too. The platform built atop has a superb view of Lake Mashu, which is unique in its deep crater walls. Do stop by if you are driving past it!

Extremely beautiful viewpoint of the lake. Peaceful. It's absolutely worth a stop if you're driving in the area. Really special!

Though Lake Mashu was surrounded by clouds, I enjoyed seeing the view from this spot. Mashu Blue is waiting for you:) It might be better to have some brunch shorter so as to see entire lake.

The road to observatory is closed until 19th of April 2023 due to snow, I took this picture at the beginning of the road today. Please check before you drive up there , took me 40 mins to drive from first observatory 🥹

This place is better than another side. (The general route for 3 lakes). If you would to have the different of experience, please stop by. Autumn is the best timing to here.

Foggy most of the time. Great views on sunny days. Free parking. Small souvenir shop. No food. Drink vending machine. But worth a visit if u r staying at Teshikaga or passing nearby.

Absolutely breathtaking. We came in the afternoon with a breath of fog lingering. Can't compare to the other viewing points since I didn't stop at those, but I would certainly travel around lake mashu the next time I return. The toilets at this stop are not very clean and dont have soap. You can buy tissue at the nearby small store.

Parking lot located at the top of the mountain. Absolute gorgeous view. Stayed in the car overnight to shoot a time lapse movie. Can get very windy and cold overnight so be cautious and geared if you plan to stay late.

Stumbled upon this by accident, but amazing views as a present. No commodities here though (no bathroom or shop), just a parking spot and nice views.

Drove past it by accident going down the mountain — very quiet and just a simple overtaking deck with not very many amenities but a nice overlook to view the lake.

Stunning view. Would recommend stopping by here for pictures

The observatory is built at 725 meters above sea level of Mt. Mokoto (Mokotoyama). It is a marvelous and popular viewing spot that tourists can look over Lake Kussharo or Mt. Shari (Sharidake), too. There is a restaurant, souvenir store and rest rooms in the rest station, admission free for visitors. And the car parking slot is also free of charge.

The view was spectacular.

Surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and fresh, crisp air, this place feels like a retreat into nature. Watching wild geese by the cold lake made for a unique and unforgettable experience.

Very interesting as the sand is warm but water in the lake is cold. There is a beautiful morning mist that makes the scenery beautiful. You can see sunset here. There are big parking spaces facing the lake and public toilet which is clean. I came here in a camper van for 1 night. The road leading to this destination is dark at night.

My experience at Sunayu Beach, Lake Kussharo, Hokkaido. During our recent Hokkaido trip, we visited Lake Kussharo early one morning. The scenic Sunayu beach, with its stretch of sandy shore, offered breathtaking views of the lake. What made this spot unique was the natural hot-spring water flowing directly onto the beach – dig a hole in the sand, and warm water would gush out! It is perfect for soaking one's feet and unwinding. The surrounding area featured plenty of trees and ample space for a leisurely morning stroll, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The combination of natural beauty and relaxing atmosphere made Sunayu beach an unforgettable experience.

This was really a splendid stopover for us. The sand beside the lake has hot water underneath and people brought their chairs to sit by the water. Toilet is clean, you could also stop your campervan in the parking lot to sleep overnight. There is a trash bin which was amazing because we finally threw out trash. Loved this place!

Sunayu view point, great place to stop by for onsen foot bath and for snacks/coffee You can dig your own foot bath 😉

Was not sure what to expect but really enjoyed it. We arrived around 5pm and there were not many people around making it very peaceful. We dug a hole and enjoyed warming our feet in the nicely warm water and sand.

Amazing even when all you need to do is to shove your feet into the sand and you can instantly feel the heat on your feet, pretty hot LOL!

We were a bit unlucky with the weather so we couldn't fully experience Akan National Park and its famous stargazing experience but we truly enjoyed the beautiful hike up Mount Mokoto and the stunning view on the volcanic lake and it's characteristic central island.

Must visit when you go to Kushiro. Beautiful even in the summer.

I thought Shiretoko might be the most beautiful national park in Hokkaido, but after visiting Akan-Mashu... well, maybe it was the weather that we were blessed with! A must-visit in Hokkaido! I had already visited in winter, but it was completely transformed in summer.

It's a beautiful and majestic site , usually not crowded , excellent facilities, recommend visiting

Sea of clouds, big&beautiful lake, spiritual pond, mountains, and etc are awsome

Caldera lakes, an active volcano, oodles of onsens; this is a must-visit in Hokkaido.

Lake Kussharo is awesome

Observation deck at the Tsubetsu pass at 947m above sea level. Very good vantage point to see the sunrise. The pass is opened from Jun to Sep. The observation deck is only opened from 9am but the view from the outside of building iw good enough. Check the sunrise timing. Its 3.40am in Jun. Beware of deers when driving up.

I drove to there early in the morning at 5am in the July. It’s bright enough but you still need to be careful of the narrow roads and shape turns. We didn’t have luck to see the “sea of clouds” but still had chances to see the beautiful scenes along the roads. We couldn’t go to the top of the observatory building as it’s reserved for tours only ...disappointed.

Spectacular view of the lake and island from a high vantage point.

Wonderful, being able to see some clouds. Great look out from here

Nice view of the clouds

Great view but 美幌卡 has similar and better view

amazing!

This is a natural oxygen bar, surrounded by mountains and embraced by the calm lake. There’s a rest area where you can grab a simple meal and buy some water. It’s a great place to connect with nature.

If you are coming here, come at sunset. The views are magnificent and the colors are a soft hue of red and green. It was breathtaking for me, so highly recommend.

Simply amazing 😍🤩 go for it.The views are spectacular.

It’s my first time visiting! It’s very windy 🌬️ when we came around but even so, it’s a breathtaking view! Recommend to visit at least once!

Great spot for amazing views. There is a food court and small shop. A must place to visit. One day hope to be able to catch the sea of clouds moment.

Absolutely spectacular view of Lake Kussharo. Lavatories available at visitor center.

I was here on a cloudy day , so the view of lake kussharo was not in sight. However the food at the restaurant was good and the general atmosphere of the area even during a cloudy day was nice

Beautiful michi-no-eki! But DO NOT drive up at night or you risk being caught in a dense fog. In the morning and at sunset, the sea of clouds that can be seen from Bihoro-toge rest area is breathtaking. So is driving through it, but in a different way. At night, the sea of deers we saw at the side of the road looked like they were having a fiesta of sorts. Please be careful and drive slow so not to hurt them. Toilets were particularly clean, but either we were too cold in the fog to figure how to open the door, or they lock up at night. It was worth waiting for the shops to open at 10am as the curry bun is a huge recommend. You can skip the coffee.

Such a pretty lookout over Lake Mashu.. so much serenity and peace.. the views over at Observatory 3 was immaculate and a must visit. Head out to Observertry 1 for a quiet dessert in the cafe overseeing the crystal blue Lake Mashu.

Beautiful sight that overlooking the Lake Kusharo. The toilets very clean and woody style. Came here in early June 2025 and not crowded. Weather about 14°C.

Nice rest area. It was nicely warm especially coming in from the cold windy observation area. Interesting & tasty bread with potato inside.

Pulled over during an epic rainstorm and near-zero visibility, only to find this car park came complete with a restaurant and well-stocked shop that had local souvenirs and decent pastries. The toilets are clean and were playing hip jazz. There’s good signage in English and I expect the views are excellent when you can see more than 20 metres in front of you.

Magnificent views and nice food. Try the curry bread with cheese and onions

Great panaromic views. Ample space for photo taking. There is a mini bakery, coffee shop, mini restaurant (soba, noodles etc), souvenir shop and fried potato snacks, ice cream shop in the building with the second floor to rest/eat with great views too. The drive down the hills along the lake also gives some good views.

Little stopover restaurant serving curries, Japanese spaghetti, noodles, fried chicken, and other dishes.

Love this local food restaurant. The kids and folk enjoyed the meal very much. Apart from the food shown in the picture, their oyaku don and teriyaki chicken don are superb. Pricing is very reasonable. They have an english menu and easy to communicate. Get crowded by noon. Suggest to go slightly before 12 to avoid crowd.

Very cute place Operated by an old couple who are very kind and patient. They were able to accommodate my wifes gluten allergy with gluten free fish and salad. The curry was delicious. Very meaty and subtle saltiness.

A welcoming stop after heavy rain and fog around Lake Kussharo. A warm and cosy interior. The hosts are lovely and patient in answering our questions about the Japanese menu. Love the tako scallop pasta and a delicious crab burger (with egg). Big portions, good for sharing. We left very happy with our bellies full for the road trip ahead.

The atmosphere is wonderful. The view from the widows is delightful. And the food delicious. I had the crab burger and it was so good my friend and I had to order a second to share, even though one was plenty. The prices are very reasonable. There is ample parking as we were able to park our camper car with ease. 100% suggest you visit.

Great food! And such a cute location with the fields and the mountains in the distance. A lovely little wooden Japanese lodge. Lovely staff. Yum.

Juiciest burger in the world! Welcoming and friendly people.

Recommend observation deck 3. Somehow google recommends deck 1 as the best but for me deck 3 was def better. Video 1 is of deck 3 and you get a beautiful angle of the lake. Didn’t bother taking videos for deck 1 except for the fox that was roaming around 🤣 Recommend trying the Blue ice cream (ramune flavoured) as well as the Yubari melon (1 for 600 yen)

Fantastic, so beautiful.

This is a very beautiful lake and makes for incredible hiking. We visited recently and added a day hike around this lake to the short hike past Mt Io. Getting to the lake is a little tricky if you are staying in Kawayu Onsen. There is a bus which operates on a limited schedule from Mashu town but leaves late and returns early leaving very little time for anything more than visiting the observation deck. Definitely not for a long day hike. We didn’t have a car so ended up hitch hiking to and from the lake. Fortunately Japanese people are extremely nice and we easily got rides to and from Kawayu Onsen. We did the hike around the south portion of the lake to the Mt Kamui lookout point. An amazing hike with zero visibility on the way out but the clouds lifted for the return and we finally got to see how beautiful the lake is. Afterwards, we got to go back to our ryokan and relax away our pain. If you want any specific info on this hike, feel free to reach out to us. You can find our exact route by searching for Career Break Adventures and Lake Mashu, Japanese Hike or something similar. Good luck and enjoy!

摩周湖 Lake Mashu is beautiful in all seasons. Visited the place 3 times, and most impressive all of would be the wee morning viewing of unkai "雲海".

My favourite of the Akan national park lakes. The scenary was stunning, there were not many people around and it was just beautiful scenery. There is a hike there, but i reached too late and was too tired to try.

Was here in 5 Mov 2023. View is very good. Nice place to take photos. 👍

The beautiful and romantic lake! Let's go and feel!

It was my first time seeing a sulfur mountain up close. Steam was constantly rising from the ground, and the air was filled with a strong sulfur smell—almost as if the mountain was breathing. A rare and unforgettable experience of observing such a unique landscape.

On Sept 2, 2024, my wife and I drove here because the parking fee Yen500 for Lake Mashu was also good here. Unplanned,we had a close encounter of the sulphuric rock, smell and smoke. We shopped at the souvenir shop and got tax refund.

A stunning mountain shrouded in steaming sulfur clouds—an intense and unforgettable sight. The dramatic landscape creates a uniquely immersive experience.

We'll worth visiting, it was amazing to get so close. The smell of solpha was strong. Strongly recommend, it is an easy walk.

A must visit place! The sulphur smell was very strong, I was tearing when getting near to the place. Simple advice is not to "face" the wind direction.

We popped by to take a look as our parking ticket for Lake Mashu’s viewpoint allowed us entry to Mount Iō as well. The views were great, we got to see the sulphur crystals, steam and the hot water in this place. There is a smell about this place so take note if you’re sensitive to smell.

Strong sulphuric smell. First time seeing a volcano up close, so it was interesting for me. Might not be the most interesting for those who have seen volcanos before. Souvenir shop was average, eggs sold there were hard boiled with dry yolk, not the usual Japanese soft yolk egg.

Nice place to learn about Hokkaido, birds, bears (how to handle a bear rule number one: don't encounter the bear ;-) Also, of course, the cute algea balls. Also getting a good impression how gorgeous the landscape will look like in summer and winter - without the rain.

Arguably one of the best visitor’s centres I’ve been to in Hokkaido. Wonderfully informative and well-presented with staff who are eager to chat. The surrounding area is also beautiful, especially in autumn, and they have a café upstairs with a balcony overlooking the forest behind the building.

Stumbled upon this small village. The Musuem was interesting and had small activities suitable for kids. There is a free onsen foot bath nearby.

Abashiri museums closed on Monday so we missed that. Now down in Kawayu on Wednesday and much to our suprise closed one day a week - Wednesday. Not our lucky week.

An amazing visitor centre. Full of installations, info of all sorts. extremely helpful personnel.

Super friendly staff! They speak English. Useful information about bears and insects.

This centre offers so much information about the flora and fauna in Akan-Mashu National Park. They serve food and they also help with trails including rental of equipment, e.g. bear bell, snow shoes. I recommend this to all ages.

Nice view and have a lot of swans.

Beautiful vast lake.

The heaven of insects and worms tho impressive

splendid

Beautiful, and one of the few places you can swim around here (at Sunayu beach).

Very Cold

One of Beautiful lake in Akan Mashu National Park

The outdoor hot spring bath is truly an unforgettable place. Surrounded by nature, it offers a peaceful and relaxing experience. The natural setting and soothing waters create a perfect escape from the daily grind, making it a worthwhile place to visit for anyone seeking tranquility.

I loved this place. It’s mid September and there was little algae. Few people came, some local foreigners and some locals. Some people went naked, others didn’t - nobody was bothered either way. Great place, great location

Limited Parking 🅿️ spots are for hot springs ♨️ users right-away in-and -out, soak-and-dash only !! ( not for peninsula trekkers) if you’re trekking the trails or visiting the beach, Please Do Not Park here unless you want the some locals to get angry at you 😠!（yes, they yelled at you in nude) [suggestion for park management for make the parking sign more obvious/visible ]

Visited in June 2018. A beautiful hot spring that is unfortunately not exactly usable due to the high amount of algae in it. Should still be good for a quick feet soaking though.

It's free but you better have a bathing suit as anyone from the nearby camping can see you. The water can be boiling hot is there is a lot of "bubbles" coming from the ground.

just an incredible place

It is a bit awkward to have a totally open public hot spring in between a car parking space and the lake. the view is good tho

Delicious spot for dinner, the warm tempeh over salad was perfect for the vegetarian in our group, I liked it too! Emphasis on local ingredients is appreciated.

We had a very pleasant experience here. There are few uniqueness about the restaurant, they have a lot of options of vegetables , tempeh and fresh ingredients, it is not very common in most of Japanese restaurants especially at winter times. The owner can speak not only English , she can also communicate in mandarin with Beijing accent. We love the freshness that they are able to offer.

A simple lunch menu. They were deliciously prepared.

Fusion dishes that were AWESOME! Really enjoyed the food here, having been in Japan a while, because there were some good strong flavors. You may want to go elsewhere if you want traditional Japanese food.

I had the tempeh dish, it was delicious, the best tempeh I’ve ever had! The soybeans used are from a nearby town. I didn’t take a photo of it but my parents both had the green curry which they really enjoyed. They said the spring rolls were good too! The aronia juice is homemade and also worth trying!

Casual restaurant with food that punches well above its height in flavor and quality. They know how to present Southeast Asian flavors to the Japanese palate very well. My wife and I really want to go back to try their green curry. They are very warm and friendly and have great taste in music too.

Very tasty and fresh food, excellent service. Enjoyed the vegan option.

Cozy restaurant nested within train station Beef stew was well made, very tender this place has great selection of cookies and cakes as well~

Set inside the old Kawayu Onsen train station. Has an old school charm. The staff are friendly. The pudding is very good. Not busy on Friday tea time. The cafe closed at 5pm not 3pm as stated in google.

We’ve been here twice, and in total we’ve tried the hamburger steak (original sauce and curry), beef curry, and omurice. Everything is really delicious, and 950-1100 yen. The food comes out in around 20 min. And the staff is very nice, and accommodating to English speakers. We will definitely come back!

Highly recommended!!! The food is really delicious! I ate the omurice and it's way better than the ones in Tokyo. Big serving too! The sauce is very delicious!

You wait....for the table and then for the meal. It took forever to get the "signature beef stew" dish here. When it finally came, it had 1 (read one) piece of beef in it. On top, too much sugar in the stew. Sad, because the space is lovely

Right at the JR Kawayuonsen station, cosy place with reasonable prices and a tad limited options but decent food quality. Best of all, a foot bath is just on the corner (free + fun)

A restaurant and cafe at the station itself. Everything was delicious here, from the main dish to the cookies and even the side salad

(Translated by Google) ☆Roadside Station Love Museum☆ Well, it's my first roadside station. It really feels like something very fresh☆ You cannot come to the roadside stations on the Pacific side. The weather is nice and I feel good. When you enter the store, you will find many souvenirs. There is also a restaurant, which is quite spacious. There are also ramen shops and ice cream shops around. There is also a zangi shop attached.

(Translated by Google) This is Koiikan, a roadside station in Shiranuka-cho. I rarely write reviews for roadside stations, so why did I write one this time? That's because the mascot character, Meika-chan, was strangely sexy. If it's cute, fair-skinned, moist and soft, and even fresh, then this is it... ……. ……. ……. sorry. I'm back now. By the way, Koitoikan is scheduled to relocate next year in April 2025. Putting aside what I just remembered about the fact that fresh squid is crunchy rather than moist, if you want to go to the current Koiikan restaurant, please do so as soon as possible. However, I like roadside stations with older buildings because they have a more flavorful feel. I feel uneasy when I see a store employee wearing a starched uniform and with bangs that have been treated with hair conditioner. I like the apron that has "Irasashimase" written on the chest.

(Translated by Google) Although I did not sleep in the car, I used it for a break and shopping in early October. I gave it a high rating because I was impressed by the deliciousness of the dried shishamo that I bought here rather than at a roadside station. This roadside station is located close to the sea. However, there seem to be few positions where you can see a good location from inside the car. For shopping, I bought the dried shishamo in the photo and the cheese that was advertised as having a strong taste. I bought the cheese with the expectation that it might be something like Epoisses. It may have some quirks for a domestically produced product, but it was not as good as Epoisses in all respects. (It's delicious) I bought dried shishamo on the spot. It was lightly grilled, but it was delicious and the flavor was palpable from the moment I bit into it. I was patient and took it little by little. All of them were male and there were no eggs, but the flesh was delicious.

Awesome shop

We sell used clothing, miscellaneous goods, sweets, record CDs, etc. The cafeteria also serves soup curry for lunch. It's so popular that if you go after 2pm, it's sold out. I bought a second-hand blouson. The parking lot in front of the store is on a slope, so be careful especially in winter.

(Translated by Google) This park is located on the opposite bank of the Kushiro River from the roadside station Mashu Onsen. There is a large pond in the center of the park, which is a visiting place for swans. Although it's called a park, it doesn't have any play equipment; it's more of a leisurely park with a watermill, benches, and a waterfowl observation hut. About 5 minutes walk from the roadside station. There is a pedestrian-only bridge called Nanarou Bridge, so access is quite good. The pond does not freeze even in winter, perhaps because hot springs flow into it. The park also has its own parking lot and restrooms. Of course, this is not a campsite, so it would be best to refrain from camping. (Original) 道の駅摩周温泉の釧路川はさんで対岸にある公園です。 公園の中央は大きな池があり白鳥の飛来地になっています。公園と言っても遊具はなく水車小屋やベンチ、水鳥観察小屋などがあるのんびり過ごす系の公園。道の駅からは徒歩5分ほど。なんだろう橋という歩行者専用の橋があるので結構アクセスは良い。 池は冬でも温泉が流れ込んでいるからだろうか、凍結していない。 公園専用の駐車場とトイレもあります。もちろんここはキャンプ場ではないので野営はやめておいたほうが良いだろう。

Wonderful area for walking around, clean restrooms, and tons of fun for children too.

(Translated by Google) When I stop by Roadside Station Mashu, I always cross the bridge and take a walk to Suigo Park! There are lots of swans and ducks, so cute and fun 😆 (Original) 道の駅摩周に寄ったら必ずなんだろう橋を渡って水郷公園まで散歩します！ 白鳥や鴨がたくさんいて可愛いし楽しい😆

(Translated by Google) There are small agricultural product shops, tourist centers, and simple dining shops! The environment is comfortable! The greening rate is very high👍👍 (Original) 有農產小店和觀光中心和簡單用餐小店！環境舒適！綠化率極高👍👍

(Translated by Google) This is a stylish park located on the edge of a residential area. There is play equipment and an observation deck, so I think the whole family can enjoy it. (Original) 住宅街の外れにあるおしゃれな感じの公園です。遊具もあるし、展望台もあるので家族連れで楽しめると思います。

(Translated by Google) It is located on the banks of the Kushiro River, across from the roadside station, and just across the bridge from there. The area around the pond, which is shaped like a lake left by the Kushiro River, has a wetland-like environment with some aquatic plants growing thickly, and there is a promenade that goes around it. There is a waterfowl observatory within the park, and there is also an elegant thatched water mill at the entrance that connects the pond to the Kushiro River. The scenery from here was especially beautiful, and the sight of large trout and waterfowl playing on the crystal clear water was a refreshing sight for the eyes. (Original) 釧路川にほど近いほとり、道の駅とは川向いの位置にあって、そちらからも橋を渡ればすぐに場所にある。 釧路川の河跡湖と思われる形をした池周辺は、一部水生植物が生い茂る湿地のような環境にもなっていて、その上をぐるりと一周する遊歩道がある。園内には水鳥の観察所があり、釧路川と池を繋ぐ流れ口には、みやびな茅葺きの水車小屋などもあった。ここからの景色はとくに美しく、透き通る澄んだ水面で大きな鱒と水鳥が戯れる姿は、涼やかでいい目の保養になった。

(Translated by Google) It's located right next to the roadside station in Mashu. As winter approaches, swans drop by. There's also a bird-watching hut, and nature and man-made structures are in harmony. It was soothing. It's still a long way off, but I'd like to walk here with my grandchildren in the future... (laughs) (Original) 摩周、道の駅のすぐ橫になります。冬近くになると白鳥が立ち寄ります。野鳥観察の小屋もあり自然と人工物の調和がとれています。心が和みました。 まだ先ですが将来孫ができたら一緒に歩きたい……と思いました(笑)

(Translated by Google) Source source without chlorine It is run by an elderly couple, and the open-air bath is handmade by the husband. Brown smooth hot spring The quality of the spring water was very pleasant. It's a bit disappointing that it takes only 45 minutes for two people in one room. Since I'm an elderly person, I guess I don't get enough cleaning.The foot mats were so dirty that it didn't look like they were clean, and there were places like the windows that looked like black mold. This is not recommended for those who want a clean bath like a hot spring at a hotel. The quality of the spring water is very pleasant✨ (Original) 塩素を使わず源泉 高齢な御夫婦で営み露天風呂は旦那さんの手作りかな～ 茶褐色のツルツル温泉 とても気持ちいい泉質でした 二人で一室４５分と短いのがちょっと残念です 高齢な方だから掃除は行き届かないかな～足マットは汚れが落ちてない感じにこすけてたり、窓とか黒カビっぽい箇所も有りましたので ホテルの温泉のようなキレイなお風呂を希望される方にはオススメできませんが 泉質はとっても気持ちいいです✨

(Translated by Google) Adults 300 yen (Free for elementary school students and younger) There are two family baths (one indoor bath and one outdoor bath) that can be used for less than an hour. It seems that there are some people who come with two parents and five children, and you can still rent the whole place for 600 yen, so I think it's very reasonable. It is a moor hot spring with a high pH (8.8) that will make your skin smooth when you soak in the hot water. The dirt is noticeable in some places, but if that doesn't bother you, I highly recommend it. (Original) 大人300円(小学生以下無料) 家族風呂が2つ(どちらも内湯1、外湯1)で1時間以内の使用。 親2人と子ども5人で入りに来る方もいらっしゃるようで、それでも600円で貸し切れるので凄くリーズナルかと思います。 お湯に浸かるとお肌ツルツルのpH高め(8.8)、モール泉です。 所々汚れが目立ちますが、気にならないのであれば是非オススメします。

(Translated by Google) So hot! It has a slimy feel like a moor spring. It had a sulfur-like flavor and a mole flavor. Maybe around 45 or 46 degrees? It was so hot that my body was numb, but the temperature was set at 42 degrees, which was exactly what the poster said. It's true that the temperature at the bottom may be around 42 degrees, but since the source of 58 degrees constantly flows in, it's impossible to do without water. Business hours are 8-20 (Original) めっちゃ熱い！モール泉のようなヌルヌル感がある 硫黄っぽい風味とモール系の風味があった。 45、46度くらいかな？体の痺れる熱さだったけど、張り紙には42度で設定してると合った。 たしかに下の方は42くらいかもだけど、たえず58度の源泉が流れ込んでくるので水入れないと無理ポ 営業時間は8-20

(Translated by Google) I was curious about it, so I took my kids there today. The Moor Onsen was a family bath type and felt very comfortable. The owner of the pension was also very friendly and nice. Some people may say that the more beautiful it is, the more beautiful it is, but I personally like it because it has a retro feel and costs 300 yen for adults. I would definitely like to come again (Original) 気になっていたので子供たち連れて本日行ってみました。 家族風呂タイプでモール温泉とても気持ち良かったです。 ペンションのオーナーさんも人当たりが良くとても良かったです。 人によっては綺麗な方が良いと言う人がいるかもしれませんがレトロ風な感じで大人300円私的にはとても好きです。 是非また来たいと思います

(Translated by Google) I used it on 2024/02/12. The owner was a very warm person. I think it's a good idea to call and ask if there's availability before you go. The quality of the hot spring water was a very concentrated moor hot spring. (Original) 2024/02/12に利用させていただきました。 店主の方は非常に温かい人でした。 行く前に電話で空いてるかどうかを伺ってから行くといいと思います。 泉質は非常に濃度の濃いモール温泉でした。

(Translated by Google) I love Moor Izumi hot springs, and when I went on a tour of Moor Izumi hot springs in eastern Hokkaido about six months ago, I meandered from Tsurui Village towards Memanbetsu Airport, soaking in hot springs here and there, and stopped by all the way north. Although I took a lot of baths during my trip, I personally really liked the open-air baths here. I think there are some people who like clean facilities, so I think your preferences will differ. I feel like some people may not like the second photo of the indoor bath, but I really liked it (especially the outdoor bath!) and took it easy. It was a bath that I would like to stop by and take a bath in next time I'm in the area. (Original) モール泉が大好きで半年ほど前に道東モール泉温泉巡りをしたときに鶴居村から女満別空港目指してあちこちの温泉に入りながら蛇行しながら北上中に寄らせて入らせていただきました。たくさん入りながらの旅でしたがここの露天風呂は私個人的にとても好きでした。綺麗な施設が良い方もいらっしゃるかと思うので好みは分かれるかとは思います。二枚目の内湯の写真もいやいや私はという方もいるかなとは思う気持ちもありますが私はとても好きで（特に露天！）のんびり入らせてもらいました。またここの近くに行くときは寄って入りたいなと思うお風呂でした。

(Translated by Google) There are two bathtubs, both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, making it a good mall hot spring. (Original) 浴槽が2箇所あり、内湯と露天風呂がどちらもあり、良いモール温泉です

Servings are a little bit small, but the soup curry is delicious

Beautiful rustic place with vintage decor and shop. Soup curry was amazing and gotta try their craft beer as well. They also got a very cozy kids playroom!

Amazing curry! Best we had in Hokkaido!

Incredible Japanese curry and unique vintage & neat store.

(Translated by Google) It is a shop full of vintage items. The curry is more expensive than in Sapporo. One portion is 1,700 yen without tax. The soup is sweet and should be the aroma of boiled vegetables. The chicken thighs fall into pieces as soon as they are opened. The soft meat and bones quickly separate. You can come again. The rice is a bit too much. The difference between the first and second items on the menu is that there are two green vegetables. The first item is burdock. Everything else is the same. (Original) 充滿古著物品的店，咖喱比札幌的還要貴一些，一份是1700日圓不含稅，湯汁帶有清甜，應該是蔬菜熬煮的香氣，雞腿肉一撥開就碎，軟爛的肉跟骨頭迅速分離，可以再來，飯有點太多。 菜單第一項跟第二項差別是二根綠色的菜，第一項是牛蒡。其它都相同。

(Translated by Google) I think the menu only had three types of soup curry and drinks. I tried two types of soup curry. Both were delicious, but if you don't like sour flavors, I recommend the coconut curry. The chicken came off the bone easily and was easy to eat. It would have been better if there was a knife to cut through the larger vegetables. The garlic sprouts stood out and were delicious among the vegetables. The interior is lovely, with different chairs, tables, and lighting depending on the seat. There was a sign saying photography was not allowed inside the restaurant, but there were people taking pictures there. I wish I had taken some photos too to look back on my memories. (Original) メニューはスープカレーが3種類と飲み物だけだったと思います。 スープカレーを2種類食べました。 どちらもおいしいですが、酸味が苦手な人はココナッツ入りのカレーがおすすめ。 チキンは骨から簡単にはずれて食べやすい。 大きい野菜を食べるためのナイフがあったらよりよかったかな。 お野菜の中ではニンニクの芽が際立っておいしかった。 席によって椅子、テーブル、照明などが異なっていて素敵な店内。 店内は写真撮影不可と書いてあったのですが、撮影してる人いるんですよね。 私も、思い出を振り返る用に写真撮りたかったな。

(Translated by Google) A soup curry restaurant open only for lunch. An unusual structure that is attached to an antique shop. Please note that the soup may run out early, especially the ``vegetable curry'', which is limited to 12 meals a day! "Vegetable curry" has a beautiful visual appearance, including the color and arrangement of the vegetables. It's smooth and at first you can feel the flavor of curry and spices. The flavor of the Japanese-style soup stock is amazing, and it has a deep sourness and slight bitterness. "South Indian style curry" has a milder taste, but it also has a strong spiciness and spiciness. Personally, I liked this soup better. Since there are many irregular holidays, I think it's safer to check on social media before going. (Original) お昼のみ営業のスープカレー店。 アンティークショップと併設されてる珍しい造り。 早い時間にスープ切れになる事もあり、特に「野菜カレー」は1日12食限定なので注意！ 「野菜カレー」は野菜の彩りや盛り付けも含めてビジュアルがキレイ。 サラサラ系で最初はカレーやスパイスの風味がくる感じ。 和風な出汁の旨味が凄く、酸味とほのかな苦味も感じる奥深さ。 「南インド風カレー」の方がマイルド感はあるけど辛みやスパイス感も強いかな？ 個人的にスープこちらの方がスープは好みでした。 不定休が多いので行く際はSNSで確認した方が安全と思います。

One of the best meals I had in Japan!!!!

(Translated by Google) We have a store in Teshikaga Town, Hokkaido. Close to the town hall and police station This is a restaurant where you can eat Mashu soba, and you can also eat other things. Among them I was interested in soba ramen I had a set of soba ramen and mini pork bowl. Soba ramen noodles are ramen noodles soup? juice? I think you are using soba noodles? It felt like I was eating some strange noodles. Recommended by the store staff Apparently it's good to add pepper to soba ramen to change the taste. (Original) 北海道弟子屈町にお店があります 近くに役場と警察署が近いです ここは摩周そばが食べれるお店で他にも食べる事ができます そのなかでも そばラーメンが気になったので そばラーメンとミニ豚丼のセットをいただきました そばラーメンの麺はラーメンの麺です スープ？汁？はそばのを使ってると思うのですが？ なんか不思議感じの麺類を食べてるような感覚になりました お店の方のオススメで そばラーメンにコショウをかけて食べると味変ができてよいみたいです

(Translated by Google) You can feel the chewy buckwheat noodles that are 100% pure and unique to Japan. I ordered Tenzaru Soba (cold soba served with tempura) and Tenkashiwa (warm soba with fried food on top), and both were delicious. I can speak Japanese, so I ordered from the menu, but I don't know if they have an English menu or if they can serve you, but if you like cold soba, I recommend Tenzaru Soba. (Original) 일본 특유의 순도 100퍼 뚝뚝 끊어지면서 쫄깃한 메밀면을 느낄수 있어요. 텐자루소바(차가운 판모밀에 덴뿌라 같이 나오는것)와 텐카시와(따뜻한 소바에 튀김 올려진것) 주문했는데 둘 다 맛있어요. 일본어를 할 수 있어서 메뉴판보고 주문했는데, 영어 메뉴가 있는지, 응대가 가능한지 모르겠지만 차가운 모밀 좋아하면 텐자루소바 추천입니다.

(Translated by Google) I went with my father. It is run by a lively mother, a wonderful grandmother, and a very kind older sister. The soba ramen I ordered arrived about 5 minutes after I ordered it. It had a strange taste, like soba noodles mixed with soy sauce, but it went perfectly with the noodles and meat and I enjoyed it until the very end. I drank almost all the soup, and the pork bowl that came with the set was also very delicious. When we left, they saw us off to the exit, and I was grateful for their consideration of my elderly father's feet. Both my father and I were very satisfied with the meal. The takeout food was also very delicious. I will definitely visit again. Thank you very much for the meal. (Original) 父親と伺いました 元気なお母さんと素敵なおばあちゃん、そしてとても優しい対応のお姉さんの3人で切り盛りしています お目当てのそばラーメン、注文から5分ほどで着丼しました 醤油ラーメンのような蕎麦のような不思議な味でしたが、麺やお肉とも相性バッチリで最後まで美味しくいただきました 汁もほぼ完飲し、セットの豚丼もとても美味しかったです 帰る時も出口までお見送りしていただき、高齢の父親の足元を気遣ってくださりありがとうございました 父親共々、大満足の食事でした テイクアウトした物もとても美味しかったです また必ず伺います 本当にご馳走様でした

(Translated by Google) I had a set of soba ramen and mini curry. 1200 yen. The noodles in the soba soup tasted like ramen. That's unusual. The chicken had a nice bite. I think it was a parent chicken. The curry was also just as tasty. The staff were efficient and friendly. Parking is in the vacant lot next door. (Original) そばラーメンとミニカレーのセットいただきました。 ¥1200。 蕎麦のつゆに麺はラーメンって感じかな。 珍しいですね。 鶏肉歯応えありました。 親鳥かな。 カレーも普通に美味しかったです。 店員さんはテキパキと良い感じでした。 駐車場は隣の空き地です。

(Translated by Google) Pepper expired June 5, 2021. I was told that pepper would add a flavor boost to the soba ramen, but when I tried to use the pepper from the table next to me, it hardened and wouldn't come out. I brought some pepper from the table next to me, but it had an expiration date of 2021! Now it's 2025. I wonder if they're managing their other food properly. It's a shame, considering that Yo Oizumi has visited this restaurant and it seems to be featured on local gourmet maps. (Original) 期限2021.6.5の胡椒 そばラーメンは胡椒で味変を説明され卓の胡椒を使おうとすると固まって出ませんでした。 隣の卓の胡椒を持ってきたところ賞味期限2021年！今は2025年です。他の食べ物も管理大丈夫でしょうか。大泉洋さんが来店されたり地元のグルメマップに載るお店のようですが残念です。

(Translated by Google) It felt like an old-fashioned soba restaurant, and the lovely lady sitting at the register was very impressive! The soba noodles were handmade and had a nice chewy texture. (Original) 昔ながらの蕎麦屋さんって感じで、レジ前に座っている素敵なお母さんがとても印象的でした！蕎麦麺も手打ち蕎麦で麺の腰良い感じでした😋

Great little museum about one of the greatest sumo wrestlers of all time.

(Translated by Google) A memorial hall for the great Yokozuna of the Showa era. In addition to this, Hokkaido is also home to Northern Lake and Chiyonofuji (along with Chiyoyama). Perhaps due to the difference in the times, it was smaller in scale than others, but it was enough to convey the achievements of great people. (Original) 偉大な昭和の大横綱の記念館。 北海道にはこの他、北の湖、千代の富士(千代の山と一緒)がある。時代の違いのせいか、他と比較し規模は小さいが偉人の功績を充分に伝えるものでした。

(Translated by Google) It reminded me of the nostalgic sumo wrestling between Taiho and Kashiwado, the great yokozuna of the Showa era. The exhibits inside the museum are easy to see and understand. Hokkaido has produced many famous sumo wrestlers. (Original) 大鵬と柏戸、懐かしい昭和の大横綱の相撲を思い出しました。 館内の展示は見やすくてわかりやすいです。 北海道は名力士を多く輩出してますね。

(Translated by Google) August 5, 2025 I finally made it to the Taiho Sumo Memorial Museum. I stayed in Teshikaga last year, but arrived late and it was closed. So I returned. The exterior is covered in a sheet, so I wonder if they're painting it? I was able to take a look inside. The great Showa-era yokozuna Taiho I remember my grandfather, a sumo fan, forcing me to watch him as a child. I had an image of him as more dignified and handsome than other sumo wrestlers. Of course, even as a child, I was impressed by his overwhelming strength. There was a smell when I entered the hall. It smelled like old cloth, probably because many of the exhibits were made of fabric, but it wasn't bad. As a 32-time champion, there are numerous mementos. His mawashi (shosho mawashi), championship flags, portraits, and all sorts of other items are on display. In a booth in the back, there was a screening of old films, which I watched for about 15 minutes, bringing back memories. One thing I noticed was that back then, the screens didn't even touch the screens at all. I know this is something that's often said now, but I wonder if sumo wrestling was structured in a more relaxed way back then? I spent about an hour looking around the museum and left with a feeling of nostalgia. Thank you very much. (Original) 2025/8/5 やっと来れました大鵬相撲記念館。 昨年も弟子屈に泊まったんだけど、到着が遅くて閉館していたんです。という事で再訪。 外観はシートで覆ってあるので塗装の工事なのでしょうか？ 中の見学は出来ました。 昭和の大横綱大鵬関 幼いころ相撲好きの祖父に無理やり見させられた記憶があります。他のお相撲さんよりも凛々しく男前と言うイメージでした。 もちろん子供心にも強さは圧倒的だと感じてみていました。 場内に入ると何か匂いが？布で出来た展示物が多いせいか古布のような匂い、悪くはないです。 32回も優勝された方なので、数々の記念品があります。化粧まわし、優勝旗、肖像画などありとあらゆるものが展示してあります。 奥のブースでは往年のフィルム上映が行われており、15分ぐらいでしたか、懐かしく拝見しました。ひとつ気づいたのは当時は仕切りでは全く手をついていなかったのですね。今ではくどいように言われていることですけど。大相撲の仕組みもおおらかだったのかな？ １時間ほどゆっくり見て回り懐かしさを覚えて記念館を後にしました。 ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) It was my first time visiting. When you pay 420 yen and go inside, sumo jinku is playing. When I was little, I used to sit on my grandpa's lap and watch Taiho sumo. I loved ``Taiho'' ❤️After taking my time to look around the building, I spoke to the woman at the reception desk. Luckily, there was no one else there, so I had a very valuable and enjoyable time listening to stories about Yokozuna and Wang Peng. He was very knowledgeable about sumo wrestling. This is a recommended place for those who like sumo. I bought ``Taiho Senbei'' as a souvenir. It was delicious! Definitely buy it. Recommended. (Original) 初めて伺いました。420円を支払い、中へ入ると相撲甚句が流れています。小さい頃、じいちゃんの膝にのって大鵬の相撲を見てたんです。『大鵬』が大好きでした❤️じっくり館内を一回りしたあと、受付の女性の方に声をかけさせていただきました。ラッキーなことに他にどなたもいらっしゃらなかったので、横綱のエピソードや、王鵬関の事などを聞かせていただき、とても貴重で楽しい時間が過ごせました。大相撲に関してとても詳しい方でした。お相撲好きな方にはおすすめの場所です。お土産に『大鵬煎餅』を買ってきました。美味しかったです！絶対に買ってください。おすすめします。

(Translated by Google) Visited August 2025 The admission fee is 420 yen, and parking is right next door. It's a relatively small facility, but it was great to learn that Taiho grew up in Kawayu and won 32 championships there. If you contact the staff, you can watch a 15-minute video. (Original) 2025.8訪問 420円、駐車場はすぐ横に。比較的小さい施設ですが大鵬さんが川湯で育った事や32回も優勝していた事知れて良かったです。係の方に連絡すると15分ビデオ見れます。

(Translated by Google) This is a museum commemorating Taiho, a great yokozuna connected to Teshikaga Town. In addition to exhibits related to Taiho, such as winning medals and cosmetics, there are also exhibits about sumo. The materials didn't seem to be updated much. (Original) ここ弟子屈町ゆかりの大横綱・大鵬を記念する博物館です。優勝額や化粧廻しなど大鵬関連の品々はもちろんのこと、相撲についての展示もなされています。資料はあまり更新されていな感じでした。

Beautiful trail to do in June when Labrador tea flowers are in full bloom

Stunning short hike in the snow to Mount Io. It was quite hard going as no one had walked the trail after fresh snowfall but you can always hire snowshoes from Mt Io resthouse. The entire hike took us around 2 hours from Seicomart return through the snow with break and photo taking along the way.

Great trail. Fairly short - 2.5 km and it goes by fast. Starts off in an oak forest and then progresses to a volcano caldera. The trailhead that Google Maps directs you to is kind of mid-way through the trail, and there is no parking there. Start at the Kawayu eco-museum at one end instead (across the street from a Seicomart, near the Kawayu Onsen, where there is parking). A very flat easy trail which is great for kids. At the end there is a nice visitor center with food and an excellent gift shop.

Amazing place to visit. Walk from Information centre in town out to the site well worthwhile if you have the time. It’s 2.5 klms but a very easy walk that starts with forest and ends up like another planet at the volcanic part at the mountain base.

Good view easy to walk

A active mountain spewing sulfur. Kryptonite was also seen growing here.

Really well done. Great scenery and extremely well made explantations!

(Translated by Google) The rental bike is a 6-speed city bike that costs about 20,000 yen (you can also choose one with a luggage rack), so the braking force is weak. I didn't think I would be able to withstand the descent from Lake Mashu, so I took the Kussharo Lakeside Road at a slower speed. I sincerely hope that electric bicycle rentals that can withstand hills will begin. (Original) レンタサイクルは２万円くらいの６段変速シティサイクル(荷台付きも選べる)故にブレーキ制動力が弱いです。摩周湖からの下りに耐えられるとは思えず、屈斜路湖畔道路を低速で利用しました。坂道に強い電動自転車のレンタサイクルが始まることを切に願います。

(Translated by Google) The communication about the tour cancellation was unkind. For them, it may be just another bad day out of every day, but for me, it's a place you can go to once in a lifetime. (Original) ツアー中止の連絡が不親切。そちらにとっては毎日の中の天気の悪いよくある1日かもしれないけど、こちらにとっては一生に一度行けるかどうかの場所なのに。

(Translated by Google) Teshikagaeko ring I'm selling (Original) 弟子屈えこリング 売ってます

(Translated by Google) The explanation was detailed and interesting. (Original) 説明が詳しくおもしろかった

Nice

(Translated by Google) A shrine in Kawayu. It was quiet and I visited the shrine after taking a hot spring bath in the morning. It is a shrine with a nice atmosphere. (Original) 川湯にある神社。 静かで朝温泉に入ったあとに参拝しました。 雰囲気のいい神社です。

(Translated by Google) Kawayu Shrine is a shrine located at 3-2-45 Kawayu Onsen, Teshikaga-cho, Kawakami-gun, Hokkaido, and has no former shrine status. The deities enshrined are Amaterasu Omikami and Toyouke no Okami, as well as the three pioneering deities, Okunitamakami and Onamuchino. Kami), Sukunahiko-na-no-kami (Kami), whose annual festival is August 28th. This shrine is located in the urban area of ​​Kawayu Onsen, about 20 km (30 minutes by car) north of Teshikaga Shrine, and the surrounding area has the atmosphere of a hot spring town with the strong smell of sulfur, and it is also bitterly cold. I feel like I want to take a hot spring bath. There used to be a sacred Mongolian oak tree (estimated to be 300 years old) to the left of the torii gate, but it seems that it fell down in the 2016 typhoon. The shrines and shrines list the three deities enshrined as Amaterasu-omikami, Toyouke-no-okami, and Sukunahiko-na-no-kami, but two more are listed on the historical monument. It is written. There is a large sumo ring in the back left corner, where dedicated sumo tournaments are held on festival days. As expected, this is Taiho's birthplace. When I went to the Chozuya and soaked my hands, it was warm! ! It's a hot spring that smells like sulfur. There are hot water flowers attached around it. The temperature of the hot spring is 60 degrees, but in the cold weather below freezing, the temperature of the water has changed to just the right temperature (lol). (Please note that it also says that it is not drinkable.) As I headed toward the shrine, I thought something was missing, but the guardian dog was not there. Kawayu Shrine also has a building with a shrine office nameplate, but you can receive it at Teshikaga Shrine, the main shrine. The first fruit fee is 300 yen. Thank you for the stamp. (Original) 川湯神社（かわゆじんじゃ）は、北海道川上郡弟子屈町川湯温泉3-2-45にある神社で旧社格は無し。御祭神は天照大御神（あまてらすおおみかみ）、豊受大神（とようけのおおかみ）のほか、開拓三神である大國魂神（おおくにたまのかみ）、大那牟遲神（おおなむちのかみ）、少彦名神（すくなひこなのかみ）で例祭日は8月28日。 弟子屈神社から、北に約20km（車で30分）行ったところにある川湯温泉の市街地にある神社で、周囲は温泉街の雰囲気バリバリの所謂硫黄の匂いが漂う場所で、厳しい寒さもありなんだか温泉に入りたい気分になっちゃいます。 鳥居の左側には以前にミズナラの御神木（推定樹齢300年）があったのですが、平成28年の台風で倒木してしまったようです。 御祭神も神社庁の表記では天照大御神（あまてらすおおみかみ）、豊受大神（とようけのおおかみ）、少彦名神（すくなひこなのかみ）の三神ですが由緒碑ではさらに二神が書かれています。 左奥には大きな土俵があり例祭日には奉納相撲大会が開かれます。さすが大鵬の出身地ですね。 手水舎に行き手を浸けてみると、あったかぁ～い！！ いわゆる硫黄の香りのする温泉ですよ。周りには湯の花が付着しています。温泉の温度は60度ですが氷点下の寒空では丁度よい湯加減（笑）に変わっています。（飲用不可とも書いてありますので注意してね） 拝殿に向かうもなんか物足りないと思ったら、狛犬さんはいませんでした。 川湯神社にも社務所の表札がかかっている建物がありますが、本務社の弟子屈神社で受けることが出来ます。 初穂料は300円。 御朱印ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) The next morning after staying at Kawayu Onsen, I visited the place while taking a walk around the area. I only had 15 yen, so I put it in the offering box along with a 1,000 yen bill, the largest amount of my life. (Sorry, it seems unpleasant to write down the amount.) I prayed to God for the long-lasting development of Kawayu Onsen and the city! As it is a sacred place for sumo, there is a ring on the side of the temple grounds. Will children's sumo be held? It was a cool morning in June 2022, where I was able to spend a peaceful time imagining an active sumo match. This is a recommended spot! (Original) 川湯温泉に泊まった翌朝、周りを散歩しながらお参りしました。 ちょうど15円しか持ち合わせがなく、人生最大額の千円札を添えてお賽銭箱に入れました。 (すみません、金額書くのはいやらしいですね。。) 川湯温泉と街の末永い発展を神さまにお願いしました！ 相撲の聖地だけあって、境内の脇に土俵があります。 子供相撲が実施されるのかな？ 活発な相撲が行われている様子を想像しながら、心穏やかに過ごすことができた2022年6月の涼しい朝です。 おすすめのスポットです！

(Translated by Google) This is a very rare shrine. Tezuisha is not water but a hot spring. It was fresh. The temperature of the hot water is 60 degrees Celsius, which is not a little hot. However, the temperature around me was around -10°, so it didn't feel that hot. There are said to be about 10 places around the country that have hot spring water from Tezuisha, but this seems to be the only one in Hokkaido. (Original) とても珍しい神社です。手水社が水ではなく温泉です。新鮮でした。 お湯の温度は60℃とちょっとどころじゃなく熱い。でも、周りは-10°近くまで下がっていたのでそこまで熱く感じませんでした。 手水社がお湯というのは全国でも10箇所程あるそうですが、北海道ではここだけらしいです。

(Translated by Google) The environment is beautifully maintained. It's quite different from last time🆗. The power of Kawayu Onsen in Teshikaga Town? I felt serious when I saw that.💨👀❕ There is also a dohyo ring built in commemoration of Taiho, a famous Yokozuna of the Showa era who was born in Kawayu Onsen🆗. It's lit up at night, and the sound of the hot spring river flowing beside it is very atmospheric. (Original) キレイに環境整備されている。 前回とはかなりの違いだ🆗。 弟子屈町川湯温泉あげての、チカラ？の入れようで、本気度をんじた💨👀❕。 川湯温泉出身の、昭和の名横綱、大鵬さん、を記念して作られた土俵もある🆗。 夜間もライトアップされていて、よこを流れる温泉川の、せせらぎ音も情緒がある⤴️。

(Translated by Google) As expected, the water at the shrine in Kawayu Onsen is hot spring! There was a warning that it was 60 degrees, but this area is extremely cold, so it was perfectly fine. It's a long visit to the shrine, stepping on the snow. (Original) さすが川湯温泉にある神社の手水は温泉！ 60度あるという注意書きがあるけど、このエリアは極寒地なので、全然大丈夫でした。 キュッキュッと雪を踏みしめながの参拝です。

(Translated by Google) It was forbidden to enter (Original) 立ち入り禁止になってました

Very interesting museum on the history and current life of the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido.

Very informative museum with explanations in English and a chace to dress up in Ainu style

A small museum dedicated to the aborigines who resided in Hokkaido before the Japanese took over

Not open

(Translated by Google) The Ainu lifestyle is explained in detail along with the exhibits. You can even try on a beautiful kimono. ~PS~ If they made wrapping cloths with Ainu patterns, they would be very popular... It's a pity. (Original) アイヌの暮らしなどが、展示品とともに丁寧に説明されています。美しい着物を纏うことも出来ます。 〜追伸〜 アイヌ柄の風呂敷などを作れば、結構人気出そうなのに…惜しい

(Translated by Google) My son is interested in the Ainu, so we visited. There were a variety of stone tools, which was fascinating. The video was a re-enactment of a real fox "sending off," which is something you don't see very often, but it was painful to see them actually sending off their pet fox. If you have the time, there are various experiences you can try, so I think it's a great facility. You can try cutting out Ainu patterns out of origami for free, which both my son and I enjoyed. I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity. (Original) 息子がアイヌに興味があり訪問しました。石器が色々あって興味深かった。ビデオ上映が実際にあったキツネの「送り」を再現したものでなかなか見れるものではなかったのですが、本当に飼っていたキツネを送るところが辛かった。時間があれば色々体験も出来たりするので良い施設だと思います。折り紙でアイヌ模様の切り抜きが無料体験出来るので息子も僕も楽しく体験出来ました。また機会があれば訪問したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) The number and variety of exhibits are typical for Ainu museums. There are also stone tools and pottery. Up to this point, I'd give it three stars. But the biggest attraction is the movie. You can see the gift-giving ceremony. There are few places that have detailed materials on the ceremony and the joint struggle (7th Division), so it was very educational. JAF discounts are available! (Original) 展示品の数や種類はアイヌ資料館では一般的。 石器や土器もある。ここまでなら⭐︎3つ。 しかし最大の魅力はムービー。 贈る儀式を見る事が出来る。 儀式や共闘(第七師団)の事をキチッと資料として居る処は少ないので勉強になりました。 JAF割引あります！

Had a lovely walk around Wakoto Peninsula. There are various spots along the way where you can bath in natural hotsprings, though many are tough to access. Great area.

Not worth the walking trip.

(Translated by Google) The undulating path is full of surprises along the way. You can enjoy the lake view and the changing forest landscape, as well as watch small fish and geothermal landscapes up close. (Original) 起伏的幽徑沿途滿是驚喜，既能欣賞湖景與多變林相，也可近距離觀賞小魚與地熱景觀。

(Translated by Google) To reach this point, you need to walk for about 15 minutes. The terrain is flat and easy to enter. However, it may be difficult to walk on this path on rainy days or after rain because it is not a cement trail, so be careful of the slippery road. (Original) 要到此點～必須建走約15分鐘左右～地勢平坦～很容易進入，但是下雨天或雨後，可能此路徑會不好走，因為不是水泥步道，所以要小心路滑～

(Translated by Google) It was as beautiful as the ocean! Everyone was playing in the water and it looked like they were having a great time. Watersides where you can play and have picnics are a rare find! (Original) 海のようにきれい！みんな水遊びをしていて、気持ちよさそうだった。遊べる水辺、ピックニックできる水辺は貴重かも！

(Translated by Google) I thought it would be really tough, but it's surprisingly easy to get to Oyakotsu. If you go back the same route, it's easy, but if you take the route that goes around the whole area, even though the stairs are tough, there are nature guide signs to keep you from getting bored, and you can walk while feeling a sense of discovery that you can only experience if you go there. You can do the walk in just over an hour. (Original) めっちゃしんどいかと思ったら、オヤコツまでは意外にもサクサクいけます。同じルートを戻ると楽ですが、階段大変だけど、一周まわるルートをいくと、飽きない程度にネイチャーガイドの看板もあり神秘的でいかないと体験できない発見を感じながらあるくことができます。1時間ちょいみておけば歩けます。

(Translated by Google) It's not bad for a scenic spot, you can see the scenery The trail of the Koto Peninsula is a full circle. Walk clockwise to the observatory. The route is more primitive. If it rained a few days ago, it will be a bit muddy and shoes will get dirty easily. Walk counterclockwise to the observatory. There are more stairs and the distance is relatively short. If you just want to go to the observatory, this route is suitable (Original) 以景點來說不算差，可以看看景色 和琴半島的步道是一整圈， 順時針走到展望台，沿路比較有原始?的路線，如果前幾天有下雨會有些泥濘，鞋子易髒 逆時針走到展望台，階梯較多，距離也比較近，如果單純到展望台，適合走這條線

Excellent food, very generous portions!

Ordered 3 sets, everything was delicious ! Portions are big and the price is attractive. Definitely recommend. The lady was very kind.

The deer meat was delicious, and the owner was kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our visit and had a great experience!

Very good meal in excellent proportions ! And very sweet people 😊 I recommend

Delicious ramen and fried rice, cooked and served by a lovely old couple.

We arrived at 12.45, it closes at 14.30, so we had 1h45. On the door it says "open". We've been denied straight away upon entering after she looked at us. We can only assume the reasons...

(Translated by Google) A nostalgic, old-fashioned restaurant where you can enjoy Hokkaido venison. This restaurant in Teshikaga, run by an elderly couple, has a warm, old-fashioned atmosphere. The signature "Hokkaido Venison Set Meal" comes with ramen and is particularly filling. It features not only the delicious grilled Hokkaido venison, but also the tender Hokkaido venison char siu topping on the ramen. The restaurant opens at 6:00 PM, but it seems they close when the popular Hokkaido venison runs out, so it's best to arrive earlier. Due to the couple's age, the restaurant has a laid-back atmosphere rather than a lively, efficient service, and some items on the menu are no longer available. However, each item in the restaurant exudes a long history, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. This is a nostalgic restaurant where you can really feel the personalities of the owners and the warmth of the restaurant. It's also a perfect place to stop by between touring tourist spots around Teshikaga, such as Lake Kussharo and Lake Mashu. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend some time relaxing in a setting that evokes the Showa era while eating delicious Ezo venison dishes. (Original) 蝦夷鹿を堪能できる、昔ながらのノスタルジー溢れる定食屋さん 弟子屈で老夫婦が切り盛りする昔ながらの温かい雰囲気のお店です。 特に看板メニューの 「蝦夷鹿定食」 はラーメン付きでボリューム満点で、蝦夷鹿の焼肉はもちろん、ラーメンにトッピングされた蝦夷鹿チャーシューがとても柔らかくて絶品でした。 お店は 夜18時にオープンしますが、人気メニューの蝦夷鹿がなくなり店じまいしているご様子なので、早めの時間帯に来店するのがおすすめです。 ご夫婦の年齢もあって、テキパキにこやかな接客というよりは ゆったりとした雰囲気 のお店で、メニューの中には提供できないものもあるようです。ただ、店内に置かれたアイテムひとつひとつから長年の歴史が感じられ、どこか懐かしい雰囲気が漂っています。お二人の人柄とお店の温かみが感じられる、ノスタルジー溢れる定食屋 です。 屈斜路湖や摩周湖など、弟子屈周辺の観光スポットを巡る合間に立ち寄るのにもぴったり。 美味しい蝦夷鹿料理を食べながら、どこか昭和の面影を感じる落ち着いた時間を過ごしたい方に強くおすすめします。

Tasty food good service you should try especially meatballs. English is available on the menu and also staff can communicate in English very well, Credit cards are accepted.It will be better if menus like asparagus are available. Can find parking nearby. Walkable from Oyado kinkiyu hotel.

Every dish is outstanding especially croquette. Drink is also good. They all can speak english and very friendly. Will stop by again when visiting kawayu next time.

It was a great place to come BACK to. Our second time back at this place. Host recognized us and welcomed us warmly back. Food & taste got better. Met some other like minded people and became friends with them! Wow. Host was friendly and did we mention that the host was very pretty & moved from city to help out with a family business to become successful? Come & visit to support. English menu available & most friendly service. Come early to avoid disappoinment. When going out, we were met with some Enzo Sika Deer! It was such a pleasant surprise! Visited again in 2025! Friendly environment but pls come early at opening time If not, try after 730-745. Small place only regular customers come back often

Simply wonderful. Fantastic quality, everything was delicious. Really nice ambiance. We had the butter shiitake, grilled squid, yakitori, and nameko mushroom rice gruel (our favorite). Highly recommended!

Cozy izakaya with some great food and ice cold draft beer and a nice selection of local and hokkaido sake. We split a bunch of small plates— grilled and fried squid, octopus carpaccio, fresh fried Hokkaido potatoes and potato spring rolls. Friendly service! Arigato Gozaimasu!

A rare gem of an Izakaya. All the dishes including the mixed yakitori plate were really delicious. Still best were the locally foraged & grilled Shitake in butter 😍

It was delicious! The waitress knew English which helped me in addition to the pictures on the menu. Service was great and there was a relaxing atmosphere, especially with he jazz music. Highly recommended!
