Mount Mokoto, Dormant volcano in Akan Mashu National Park, Japan.
Mount Mokoto rises 1,000 meters above sea level, straddling the towns of Koshimizu, Teshikaga, Ozora, and Bihoro in eastern Hokkaido.
The volcanic formation of Mount Mokoto contributed to the development of Hokkaido's mountainous landscape through continuous geological processes at the convergence of four tectonic plates.
The mountain holds connections to Ainu heritage, with its name potentially originating from the language of Hokkaido's indigenous inhabitants.
Visitors can start their hike at Highland Koshimizu 725 rest house, following a marked trail that takes approximately two hours to reach the summit.
The hiking path features seasonal white birch trees called dakekanba, mountain sakura blossoms in spring, and a Buddha guardian statue at a rocky clearing.
