Lake Shikotsu
Lake Shikotsu is a caldera lake formed by the accumulation of water in a depression created by the eruption of Shikotsu Volcano about 40,000 years ago. The name "Lake Shikotsu" is said to be derived from the Ainu word "shikotsu," which means "large depression," and has been a precious water source for Chitose since ancient times. It is a cocoon-shaped lake 13km in length and 5km in width, with a circumference of about 40km, a maximum depth of 360m, and an average depth of 265m, making it the second deepest lake in Japan after Lake Tazawa in Akita Prefecture, and the northernmost non-freezing lake in Japan. It is the second deepest lake in Japan after Tazawa Lake in Akita Prefecture, and is the northernmost ice-free lake in Japan. The lake is extremely transparent due to low nutrients in the water and low plankton blooms, and its water quality has been rated the best in Japan for 11 consecutive years until 2018.
The clarity and quality of Lake Shikotsu's clear water gives off a blue glow known as "Lake Shikotsu Blue" when illuminated by light.
The clear water of Lake Shikotsu also enriches the surrounding nature. Lake Okhotampe, Moss Cave, Mt. Fufujidake, Mt. Eniwa, and Mt. Tarumae, all of which are over 1,000 meters above sea level, provide beautiful and magnificent nature.
