Towering southwest of Lake Akan, Mount Meakan ranks among Japan’s most captivating active volcanoes. Known in the indigenous Ainu language as Matineshiri, it serves as the rugged counterpart to the nearby Mount Oakan. Adventurous hikers who scale its trails are treated to panoramic views of smoking volcanic vents, dynamic mineral-tinted lakes, and untouched Hokkaido wilderness. It offers one of the most unforgettable and raw volcanic landscapes in the country.
