Mount Shakotan

積丹岳

Shakotan, Hokkaido · Elevation 1,255 m

Mount Shakotan is a 1,255.3 m peak in Shakotan Town, Hokkaido — the only summit on the Shakotan Peninsula with a maintained hiking trail. It lies within Niseko-Shakotan-Otaru Kaigan Quasi-National Park and is renowned for its flower fields and panoramic views of the 'Shakotan Blue' Sea of Japan from the summit. A shelter at the 2.5-station, managed by the town and Shakotan Tourism Association, opens after early June; the round trip from the trailhead takes about 3.5 hours one way. It is counted on the 100 Famous Mountains of Hokkaido and, together with Mount Yobetsu and Mount Ponneanchi-shi, makes up the so-called Three Mountains of Shakotan.
