Nakajima, Lake island in Teshikaga, Japan
Nakajima rises from Lake Kussharo, creating a natural habitat for diverse plant and animal species within the Akan Mashu National Park boundaries.
The formation of Nakajima dates back to volcanic activities that shaped the Kussharo Caldera through multiple eruptions spanning millions of years.
The indigenous Ainu people of Hokkaido maintain traditional connections to Nakajima and Lake Kussharo, integrating these landscapes into their heritage.
Visitors access Nakajima through boat rentals and guided tours departing from various points around Lake Kussharo throughout the warmer seasons.
During winter, the surrounding Lake Kussharo develops natural hot spots where migrating swans gather, creating observable patterns around the island.
