Mt. Eniwadake located in the southwestern part of Ishikari Plain in the western Hokkaido is an active volcano with an altitude of 1,319. As is called “Een-iwa,” which means “a sharp-pointed mountain” in the Ainu language, it features a beautiful conical shape that looks like a warrior’s helmet. You can see this beautiful mountain from any part of the central Hokkaido.

Mt. Eniwadake is blessed with bountiful nature and diversified landscapes. The mountain foot area is covered with dense virgin forests, while the mountainside is dotted with rugged volcanic rocks wrapped in white fume. The desolate summit is covered with communities of cute alpine flowers.

From the summit, you can command a panoramic view of Lake Shikotsu and the vast tract of Ishikari Plain. It is a breathtakingly beautiful landscape. Turning around, you will see the mystic cobalt blue surface of Lake Okotanpe, one of Hokkaido’s three mysterious lakes. On a fine day, you can also enjoy the distant views of the Niseko mountains and Mt. Yotei, which is called Ezo-Fuji. Located in Shikotsu-Toya National Park, the mountain is crowded with climbers in summer.
