The Showa Johor Bahru is an active volcano that broke out in the early years of the Showa era (20th century). Later, because the earth's crust was constantly active, the height of the mountain was increasing. It is still a growing "new mountain" and is classified as a rare rock-type volcano in the world. Geothermal still can be seen in the reddish-brown mountains. White smoke spouted.
Get closer to nature, get up Showa-shinzan and enjoy the greenery.
There will be an active volcano every time Japan goes through an earthquake. This itinerary is not in my original plan. The time is too tight for a group tour. All places can only be seen by horses and flowers. I met a better tour guide. We will inform in advance what is fun, but we can only have a leader for semi-self-service. There is a bear park in Johor Bahru. Those who want to go can save time to go in early.
During the Showa period, Mount Usu on the shore of Lake Toya continued to undergo volcanic activity, causing the bottom to bulge and forming a new mountain, hence the name Showa Shinzan. This mountain is one of the two active volcanoes of Lake Toya. The white smoke emitted from the mountain is the source of the clouds and mist of Lake Toya. Showa Shinzan is located on the south bank of Lake Toya, overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the south and Lake Toya in the north. Nearby attractions include the mountain Bear Ranch, Yuzu Mountain Cable Car, Geopark, Toyegou Park, Lakeside Park, Volcano Museum, etc...
Showa Shinzan is the youngest active volcano in Japan, and the reddish-brown mountain is filled with white smoke all year round. Since the beginning of the Showa era, it has been very active, so this mountain cannot be climbed. The mountain is not only active, but also increasing. From 270 meters in the Showa year to 402 meters now, it is indeed an active volcano. Maybe it will explode that year.
Showa Shinzan and Usu volcano are close to each other. Showa Shinzan is a bulging small mountain, which is an active volcano that swelled due to the eruption of Usu volcano. The foot of the mountain is surrounded by large green lawns, only the tip of the mountain is bare red rock and soil. You can also see Showa Shinzan from the cable car of the Zhu volcano, but Showa Shinzan is not open for climbing. You can only look down from the base of the mountain to the tip of the mountain.
