Mount Ponpon

ポンポン山

Teshikaga, Hokkaido · Elevation 258 m

A small hill reached by a roughly 2 km, one-hour walk from near Nibushi Onsen on Lake Kussharo. Its name is said to come from the hollow sound heard when stamping on the ground. Geothermal warmth limits snow cover in winter, allowing green moss and band-legged ground crickets to remain active. The trail is unmaintained, and summer vegetation can obscure its entrance.
