A six-minute walk in the air one way! You can enjoy a panoramic view of the incredible nature of the active volcano "Mt. Usu."

From" The Usu Crater Basin Observation Deck," a seven-minute walk along the boardwalk, you can see the Gin-Numa Great Crater, which was cratered in 1977, and Eruption Bay, leading to the Pacific Ocean.

"Mt. USU Terrace" at the summit observatory is equipped with couches and a cafe, where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular view from the open-air terrace. "Cafe Mt. USU" attached to the deck offers a menu using local ingredients with seasonal flavors.

There is also a well-stocked store and restaurant at the Sanroku station, so you must stop by.

Highlights

  • You can enjoy the panoramic view of Mt.Usu through the large glass windows.
  • You can even see the sea of clouds spreading out f you are lucky.
  • The "Lake Toya Observation Deck" near the summit station overlooks Mt. Showa Shinzan and Lake Toya, making it the perfect place to take a commemorative photo.
  • There are also the learning facilities at Kazan-mura ("volcano village") where you can learn about the eruption of Mt.Usu.

    At the platform beside the Usuzan Ropeway station, getting ready to take the striking yellow cable car up the mountain. As the car slowly starts moving and climbs higher, the cable car supports and the car traveling in the opposite direction cross paths over the valley. Below, a vast sea of trees dyed golden yellow and green by autumn stretches out, with richly layered colors.

    As the cable car continues to rise, the view becomes more and more expansive. Looking out the window, you can take in the mysterious deep-blue lake in the distance and the surrounding rolling mountains, along with a clear view of the distinctive textures of the volcanic terrain. Being able to look down on this entire magnificent natural landscape without the effort of hiking, and watching the scenery outside constantly change as you easily climb higher, is truly exhilarating.

    The summer weather here is so refreshing! From the observation deck at the top, you get an amazing view of Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan with its white smoke rising. Loved it.
