Mt. Mokoto Snowshoe Hike
Snowshoeing to the top of Mt. Mokoto.
You can see a beautiful lake, Lake Kussharo, which is the largest crater lake in Japan while walking up to the mountain top. Also, please enjoy the gorgeous distant views of the mountains, such as Mt. Shari, Mt. Rausu and other Shiretoko mountain range. Mt. Shari and Mt. Rause are both selected as one of the 100 best mountains in Japan.
