The entire area is designated as Shikotsu-Toya National Park. The vast caldera lake measures approximately 11 kilometers from east to west and 9 kilometers from north to south. A pyroclastic plateau several tens of meters thick was formed around the lake as a result of an eruption about 110,000 years ago. Together with the Mt. Usu area to the south, the lake is designated as the Toyako Usu Geopark and a World Geopark. The southern shore of the lake is a hot spring resort, which attracts many tourists during the season.
