Showa Shinzan	# 2   of 4 most visited sights in Lake Toya
access  -  reports  -  ratings  -  tours

Showa Shinzan is one of Japan's youngest mountains. Accompanied by earthquakes, the mountain suddenly rose from a flat wheat field to its current height of 290 meters between 1943 and 1945. The mountain was named "Showa New Mountain" according to the contemporary reign of Emperor Showa (1926-1989). Still venting sulfurous fumes today, Showa Shinzan stands directly next to Mount Usu, which bears responsibility for the new mountain's birth. You can get good views of the young volcano by taking the Usuzan Ropeway. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.
