Onuma National Park $184 pp

Highlights

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Hakodate to the Onuma area, where three beautiful lakes—Onuma, Konuma, and Junsai—await.
Upon your arrival, step aboard a sightseeing boat for a leisurely cruise across the tranquil waters of Lake Onuma, a lake formed centuries ago by the eruption of Mt. Komagatake.
As you drift past lush, forested islets and admire the majestic mountain backdrop, gain a deeper appreciation for the unique volcanic landscape that defines this region.
After the boat ride, the adventure continues at Onuma National Park, known as the birthplace of Hokkaido’s resort industry.
Here, you have free time to explore the scenic walking trails that wind across bridges linking the park’s many small islands.
As you meander through this serene setting, take in the stunning reflections of Mt. Komagatake in the crystal-clear waters and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature.
The final stop before returning to Hakodate is Nanae town, where you have a brief rest to soak in the countryside atmosphere, before embarking on the drive back to the ship.
With memories of incredible landscapes, peaceful lakes, and crisp mountain air, this Onuma National Park excursion provides the perfect escape into Hokkaido’s pristine wilderness.
