Mount Eniwa is a 1,319.6 m Quaternary volcano in Chitose, Hokkaido, on Lake Shikotsu’s north shore. It formed inside the northwest wall after the Shikotsu caldera formed. Its Ainu name means a sharp-headed mountain, and it was designated an active volcano in 1991. Within Shikotsu-Toya National Park, viewpoints below the summit on the Poropinai route overlook Lake Shikotsu, the Hidaka Range, Ishikari Plain and Sapporo. Entry beyond the second lookout is prohibited because the summit rock tower is collapsing. The steep trail includes rope sections; allow 3 hours up and 2 hours 30 minutes down to the second lookout.
