Mashu Onsen Roadside Station

Mashu Onsen Roadside Station sits on the banks of the Kushiro River in Teshikaga town center, a 20-to-30-minute drive from caldera lakes Mashu and Kussharo. The facility combines a bilingual information center with a food market selling fresh produce, local sake, soybeans, and Ainu crafts. A hot food counter serves locally sourced venison burgers and other warming dishes. Outside, a free natural hot spring foot bath is open to anyone. Drone footage of Akan-Mashu National Park plays in the exhibition space, giving a clear sense of the park's scale before heading out to explore.
