Mt. Yotei (Ezo Fuji)
1,898 meters above sea level, called "Ezo Fuji" for its beautiful conical shape
A stratovolcano standing 1,898 meters above sea level, affectionately known as "Ezo Fuji" for its beautiful conical shape resembling Mt. Fuji.
The well-proportioned mountain form stands majestically against the sky from any viewing angle. Four types of hiking courses are maintained, allowing climbers to aim for the summit while enjoying different landscapes. In summer, around 80 species of alpine plants bloom colorful flowers near the summit, showing their delicate beauty in the cool mountain air. The strength of plants rooting in rocky surfaces contrasts with the delicacy of small flowers swaying in the wind.
Standing at the summit offers a 360-degree panorama. To the west lies the blue horizon of the Sea of Japan, to the east the magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean, and below spreads the townscape of Niseko and pastoral scenery. From the volcanic mountain formed by eruptions, one can feel the power of the earth and the long history of nature's workings. Mt. Yotei, changing its expression with the seasons—spring's remaining snow, summer's green, autumn's foliage, and winter's pure white—shows different beauty with each visit.
