This outer-rim circuit starts at Mount Tarumae's Seventh Station Hut and follows the east rim, 1,022 m East Peak, West Peak and north rim. It overlooks Lake Shikotsu and the Pacific Ocean, with close views of the lava dome formed in the 1909 eruption. Mount Tarumae is an active volcano: the crater floor and the area inside the rim, including the lava dome, are a designated danger zone. Volcanic gas can also reach the outer rim, so check current trail and volcano information and descend immediately if you smell gas or sense danger.
