Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Hokkaido, within Shikotsu-Toya National Park, near the Niseko ski area · Japan
Mount Yotei
Mount Yotei is a near-perfectly symmetrical stratovolcano in Hokkaido's Shiribeshi Subprefecture, rising abruptly over the town of Kutchan and the Niseko ski region it overlooks. Its conical profile has earned it the nickname 'Ezo Fuji,' for its resemblance to Mount Fuji, and it is listed among Japan's 100 Famous Mountains. The volcano last erupted roughly 3,000 years ago and is now dormant but still classified as active, with a summit crater rimmed by several sub-peaks. In summer it draws day hikers up one of several steep trails, while in winter its symmetrical cone and reliable Hokkaido powder make it a celebrated backcountry ski-mountaineering objective from Niseko — though conditions can turn quickly, and the mountain has seen fatal avalanches even among experienced parties.
