A tour through this wonderful and mystical lake born from ancient volcanic activity. You will be guided deep into the serene forests - to places many people will normally never have a chance to visit.

In this region, known as the national park of forests, lakes, and volcanoes, lies the stunningly blue, small lake called Onneto. Surrounding the area is one of the rare pure stands of Yezo spruce in the region. As you stroll leisurely through this primordial atmosphere, you'll be surrounded by trees over 300 years old, a carpet of moss, and alpine plants.
