Discover more about Onuma Quasi-National Park

Onuma Quasi-National Park, designated in 1958, offers a captivating blend of tranquil lakes and volcanic landscapes. Located on the Oshima Peninsula, just north of Hakodate, the park is easily accessible and offers a refreshing escape into nature. The park's heart comprises the picturesque lakes of Onuma, Konuma and Junsainuma, formed by ancient eruptions of Mount Komagatake. These lakes are dotted with 126 small islands, many of which are connected by charming bridges, inviting exploration on foot. The park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. In warmer months, visitors can enjoy hiking, cycling, canoeing, and boat tours. The walking trails around the lakes offer stunning views and connect several islands. Bicycle rentals are readily available for those wanting to explore the area at a faster pace. During winter, the park transforms into a snowy playground, offering activities like ice skating, ice fishing, and snowmobiling. Mount Komagatake, an active stratovolcano, provides a dramatic backdrop to the park's serene lakes. Although climbing to the highest peak, Kengamine, is currently prohibited due to eruption hazards, the mountain's presence adds to the area's unique charm. The mountain's volcanic activity has shaped the landscape, creating the island-dotted lakes and fertile surroundings. Onuma Quasi-National Park has a rich history as a resort destination, drawing visitors since the late 19th century. The area was recognized as one of Japan's New Three Scenic Spots in 1915, solidifying its reputation as a must-see destination. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure or peaceful contemplation, Onuma Quasi-National Park offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Hokkaido's natural beauty.
