Hokkaido Komagatake is an active volcano at an altitude of 1,131 m. Intermittent eruptions that began between 50,000 and 30,000 years ago have given the mountain its present appearance, with steep peaks and gentle slopes. It is a representative landscape of southern Hokkaido and is surrounded by nature parks, ranches and campgrounds. The area at the foot of the mountain has been a popular resort area since the Meiji era (1868-1912), and in the past was visited by royalty from Japan and abroad. The area is still busy with many tourists and travellers.
