A relatively young addition to the area's landscape, Showashinzan was created naturally in 1943, after lava broke through the ground after a series of strong earthquakes. Today, the 398 m (1,306 ft) tall mountain, which often lets out volcanic steam, represents a major tourist attraction. Take the ropeway to the top of Mt. Usu, another area attraction, or enjoy the walking trail with panoramic vistas of the surrounding nature, Pacific Ocean, and Lake Toya. Plan your visit to Showashinzan and a wealth of other attractions, well-known and undiscovered, using our Sobetsu-cho online tour planner .

大昔に教科書で習った実物との初訪問でした。ロープウェイからの眺めも壮観でした。 電車とバス利用だったので、駆け足訪問が残念でしたが。 more »
It was my first visit with the real thing that I learned in textbooks a long time ago. The view from the ropeway was also spectacular. Because it was a train and a bus use, i was sorry to visit.View original -
昭和新山は昭和19年に麦畑が隆起してできた山だとのことです。アマチュア火山研究家の三松正夫氏は麦畑を失った農民の支援と火山の保護のために、この土地を買い取ったとのことです。三松正夫氏の銅像が昭和新山に向かって立っていました。昭和新山は現在も噴煙が上がっている活火山なので、あまり近付けないのが残念です。麓には昭和新山野外博物館という散策路がありました。 more »
It is said that Showa Shinzan is a mountain that the wheat field was able to be made by the rise in showa 19. It is said that masao Mimatsu, an amateur volcano researcher, bought the land to support farmers who had lost their wheat fields and to protect the volcano. A statue of Masao Mimatsu was standing towards Showa Shinzan. It is a pity that it is not so close because Showa Shinzan is an active volcano where fumes are still rising. At the foot of the mountain was a walking path called showa shinzan open air museum.View original
