Enter: Akan Kokuritsu Koen [Akan National Park], Hokkaido, Japan

[Aepsilons]

Akan National Park is the second designated national park in Japan. It has splendid scenery with volcanoes and lakes based on the caldera topography.

The scenery of Akan seen from the surface of the lake is totally a different world. Experience the feeling of blending into nature.

ENJOY! Welcome to MY HOKKAIDO!

(a drive towards the nearest town -- Teshikaga (which is very close to Akan!)

Ah, the quaint, quiet roads of home...in the country......

Rolling plains as far as the eye can see, with scenic old fences...
(this is a place for lovers or poets to brainstorm, haha)

Enjoy a quiet canoeing experience in the hundreds of rivers near Mt. Mashu.

@Nihonjin1051 ,AKAN means ''flowing,running,runny(mainly water)'' in Turkish.
Does it have a meaning in Japanese?

The word AKAN is not Japanese word , but is an AINU word, it means everlasting , unchanging waters.

Btw, this area of Japan is mostly populated by Northern Japanese (Ainu or Ainu mix).
