The surrounding area of Toyako is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty centered around the caldera lake, Lake Toya. A fascinating fact about the area is that Lake Toya is one of Japan's most northern non-freezing lakes, remaining unfrozen year-round due to its depth and geothermal activity. The region is a major tourist destination, with the closest major landmark being the iconic Mount Usu, an active stratovolcano that forms part of the Toya Caldera and Usu Volcano Global Geopark, a UNESCO-recognized site.
