Teshikaga, Rural municipality in Kushiro Subprefecture, Japan.
The town extends across 774 square kilometers, with more than half of its territory located within Akan-Mashu National Park in eastern Hokkaido.
Teshikaga transformed from a village to a town in 1947, following its initial establishment as an administrative region in April 1923.
The region maintains connections to Ainu traditions through festivals, exhibitions, and practices that honor the indigenous inhabitants of Hokkaido.
Visitors reach Teshikaga via rail services from Kushiro City to Kawayu Onsen Station, with local buses connecting to major attractions.
Lake Mashu, situated within town limits, maintains constant water levels despite lacking visible inflows or outflows, displaying its characteristic blue waters.
