I Saw Bears, Sperm Whales, and Red-crowned Cranes in Some of Japan’s Most Beautiful National Parks

"I found Akan-Mashu to be a volcanically active wonderland—three caldera landforms, geothermal features like the bubbling Bokke mud volcano, and crystal-clear caldera lakes whose still surfaces reflect mountains and autumn colors—evoking a landscape similar to Yellowstone and making the park popular for hiking and soaking in nearby onsens." - Kristen Pope

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.

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.
