Onneto hot water waterfall

A mysterious lake 2.5km around the mountain at the foot of Mt. "Onneto" is the Ainu word for "old swamp" and "big swamp". It is a weir lake formed by the eruption of Mount Meakan and the river has been stopped by lava, with a maximum depth of about 10m. The appearance that the color of the lake surface changes every moment depending on the season and time attracts many people. As you travel about 1.4km along the lakeside walking path from the on-netaw south parking lot, you can also see the Yutu Falls, which has been designated as a natural monument in the country as a rare producer of manganese oxide.

The roadside station is located at the intersection of national highways connecting the Kushiro area and the Tokatsu area, and is used as a tourist base for the Tokatsu area. Because it was built on the site of the abandoned line of the Furusato Galactic Line "Ashoro Station", the feature of the railway remains in and around the hall. At "Shop & Bakery Ashoro", a specialty shop with a focus on Rawanbuki products and cheeses and dairy products, as well as a bakery selling freshly baked bread, among other items, is set up. "Rawanbuki Soft" topped with Rawanbuki sauce is a recommended dish for its surprising combination. There is also a gallery that displays the stage costumes of Chiharu Matsuyama, a singer from Ashoro, and the history of his release works.

In the middle of Higashi-Hokkaido, a museum with a special display that expresses the "evolution of sea mammals" with the skeletons of related fossils and living animals, centered on fossils of primitive desmostilids and cetaceans found from Ashoro-cho. The skeleton of a large whale is impressive. In the fossil workshop, "mini excavation" where you can experience excavating fossils and minerals of the world by yourself is popular.
