Usu volcano is actually the name of the volcanic group around Lake Toya. It also refers to Mount Usu in a narrow sense. As the oldest volcano in the vicinity, Usu volcano is still active for a long time, and its activities often have significant results. Of course, it means that the volcanoes have been added. For example, Meiji Xinshan, Shaohe Xinshan, Zhu Xinshan, etc. Compared with the frequent activities of the smoker, the advantage of Zhushan is that you can climb up to see the smoke from the rocks, but in general, it is still better to come here. Look at Lake Toya.

There is a viewing platform on the Usu volcano, and half of Lake Toya can be seen. However, it was very foggy that day, and only a hazy outline of Lake Toya was seen. There is a well-paved wooden plank road on the Youzhu Volcano. You can go downhill along the plank road to the inside of the volcanic crater. Take a closer look at this hot mountain pass, but it will be tiring if you have to climb it again. Up. It takes about an hour or two to walk the entire trail. If you have enough time, it is recommended to take a walk. The scenery is very good.

Youzu Volcano is one of the most recommended tours around Lake Toya. Although the weather was not good when I went there, and many beautiful scenery were not visible, I think the Youzu Volcano is still worth a walk. First of all, you can directly see Lake Toya from the observation deck here, and Showa Shinzan is right under your nose. Youzhu volcano requires a certain amount of physical strength. After a few minutes on the cable car, you will reach the top of the mountain. A long trail is paved on the mountain, and you will see the crater with white smoke along the way. And the trail will take you directly into the crater, which is a rare opportunity to observe the crater up close.

It is one of the famous volcanoes in Japan. It is worth seeing. The second row has two rigid contents, one is to see the volcano, and the other is the hot spring value. The scenic spot has many craters and there are no plants around. The texture of volcanic rocks is obviously different from ordinary rocks.
