After spending the night in Kitami, we took the road 240 to Kushiro. The first stop was in the Akan National Park, Akan lake, with a wonderful view. Me-Akan mountain is still active volcano.
The lunch was a famous fish “don”; the fishes are very small, I don’t remember the name (-.-)#... also, a special sashimi that is prepared frozen, like a Korean sashimi.
Lake Kussharo is the biggest lake in the park. In Kussharo, there is a track around the lake, where there are high places you can have the best view of the lake. At the end of the track, there is a house, we thought it was abandoned, but in the reality, it is an onsen room, with 2 big baths and everybody can take free relaxing time there. This is Japan!
Between lake Kussharo and lake Mashu, the most beautiful view driving the car. You feel as you are in the middle of giant trees, between the mountains and you are part of the landscape.
The best actually was still to come up… considered one of the most beautiful views in all Japan, the lake Mashu! As the weather was wonderful, all the lake was in the best blue color. There is free stop point going forward from the paid parking. Don’t need to pay to see the lake.
If you go further, there is an onsen “central” mountain, where you see the steam changing the rocks color to yellow. Japanese boil eggs on those onsen focus which are called “onsen tamago”.
