Hokkaido Official Tourism Site HOKKAIDO LOVE!

An active volcano with an elevation of 1,131 meters straddling Mori Town, Shikabe Town, and Nanae Town, this famous peak was selected as one of the New Three Great Views of Japan for its appearance from Lake Onuma.
Characterized by horn-like peaks created by explosive eruptions, its unique ridgeline, as if the summit had been carved away, is clearly visible even from a distance. Beloved as the symbol of Onuma Park, the reflection of Mt. Komagatake on the lake surface shows different expressions in each season. The mountain's appearance viewed from the foot is powerful, and its towering figure against the blue sky exudes an overwhelming presence. Vast forests spread around it, and when the wind blows, the sound of rustling tree leaves quietly echoes.
Despite being an active volcano, it is popular as an accessible scenic mountain climbing course that can be climbed from the 6th station to the summit in about 60 minutes. As you proceed along the mountain trail, the view opens up, revealing the beautiful lake surfaces of Onuma and Konuma below, and in the distance, the streets of Hakodate and the Tsugaru Strait spread out. Near the summit, volcanic rock faces are exposed, volcanic gravel rolls underfoot, and you can feel the breath of the earth. Wrapped in cold, clear air and the scent of the forest, this is a representative mountain of southern Hokkaido that can be enjoyed both by climbing and viewing.
