Teshikaga, Rural municipality in Kushiro Subprefecture, Japan.

Teshikaga is a town in Kushiro Subprefecture located mostly within Akan-Mashu National Park in eastern Hokkaido. The land features lakes, forests, and mountains that define this corner of Japan.

The settlement began in 1923 as an administrative region and became a town in 1947. This change reflected growing development and organization in eastern Hokkaido.

The area keeps Ainu heritage alive through museums and traditional practices that visitors can experience during their stay. This indigenous connection shapes how the community sees itself and welcomes guests.

Reaching town is easiest by train from Kushiro to Kawayu Onsen Station, where local buses take you to the main spots. Choosing when to visit depends on whether you prefer quiet winter views or green summer days.

Lake Mashu sits within the town and puzzles visitors with water that stays level despite having no obvious sources or outlets. This natural mystery has long drawn people interested in the lake's strange behavior.
