Embrace the ethereal beauty of Lake Toya(洞爺湖, Tōya-ko⭐⭐), a volcanic caldera lake nestled amidst the mountains of Hokkaido, Japan. Here,
mornings often begin shrouded in a soft mist, creating a mystical and serene atmosphere. As the sun peeks through the wispy clouds, the landscape comes alive with a breathtaking display of color.

Between April 18th and 20th, 2024, I visited Lake Toya after spending time in Noboribetsu (登別). The weather during my stay was mostly cloudy, obscuring the peak of Mount Yōtei (羊蹄山), also known as Ezo Fuji (蝦夷富士) or 'Hokkaido's Mount Fuji'.
A lake cruise departed from the Toyakokisen ferry terminal during my visit, but it didn't stop at the Tōya Lake Forest Museum on those days. While many tourist groups opted for the cruise, I decided to explore the lakeshore for its scenic views and relaxation.
