Mount Tomuraushi, Active volcano in Daisetsuzan National Park, Hokkaido, Japan

Mount Tomuraushi rises to 2,141 meters above sea level, featuring distinct hiking trails that lead through diverse alpine vegetation and rock formations.

The mountain formed during the Pleistocene and Holocene eras, creating a landscape of non-alkali mafic rock that defines the current geological structure.

The Ainu people named this mountain Tomuraushi, which translates to the place with many flowers or the place with many water stains.

The climbing season runs from July through September, with access points available from the towns of Biei and Shintoku for mountain expeditions.

In 2009, the mountain gained national attention when severe weather conditions led to multiple fatalities, prompting changes in hiking safety protocols.
