Search flights from CTS to HKD
Lake Shikotsu
A deep, crystal-clear caldera lake surrounded by the peaks of Mount Eniwa and Mount Tarumae.
Mount Yotei
The 'Mount Fuji of Hokkaido,' a perfectly symmetrical stratovolcano visible in the distance.
Lake Toya
A stunningly round caldera lake with the forested Nakajima islands situated right in its center.
Mount Komagatake
A jagged, active volcano with a unique silhouette that dominates the approach into Hakodate.
Onuma Quasi-National Park
A picturesque landscape of island-filled lakes at the foot of Mount Komagatake.
The right side is a must for photographers. Mount Yotei and Lake Toya appear shortly after reaching cruising altitude. During winter, the snow-covered peaks against the deep blue lakes are breathtaking. As this is a very short flight (approx. 35 mins), keep your window shade up from takeoff to landing.
