Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya are the two most prominent geographical features of Shikotsu-Toya National Park. Both lakes, called Shikotsuko and Toyako in Japanese, are caldera lakes, which were formed from collapses in the earth after volcanic activity.
Shikotsu Kohan is a small, touristy town located on the bank of the lake. From there visitors can rent boats, bicycles, or scuba gear to enjoy the natural surroundings. There is a visitor center in the town, and cruises can be arranged for enjoying the area from the water.
