北海道自然与公园

Hokkaido's Nature & Parks

Hokkaido’s geography is defined by volcanic activity, vast wetlands, and extreme coastal points. This collection spans the island from the northernmost tip at Cape Soya to the southern caldera of Lake Onuma. It features the UNESCO-listed Shiretoko Peninsula, the geometric landscapes of Moerenuma Park, and the seasonal lavender fields of Furano. Key natural sites include the red-crowned crane habitats in Kushiro, the deep waters of Lake Shikotsu, and the twin cascades of Oshinkoshinno Falls.
