The reason why Lake Akan can be described as having an exquisite sense of distance between nature and humanity is due to the space without a buffer zone.

Bokke Forest

Walking through a forest where steam rises from geothermal sources, one is enveloped by a sense of the natural world merging with the human realm. In this space without a buffer zone, we are embraced by nature and aware that we are permitted by it.

Close to Lake Akan Onsen, Bokked Forest is a special place where one can experience all the natural wonders of Akan—volcanoes, forests, and lakes. Here, the Bokked, where steam and volcanic gases continue to erupt from the ground, allows visitors to feel the pulse of a living Earth. The forest, rich in both broadleaf and coniferous trees, is filled with the chirping of wild birds and the presence of small animals, while glimpses of the majestic Mount Akan can be seen through the trees.

The scent of hot springs wafts through the air, quietly engaging the senses of visitors with a story that intertwines the forest, volcano, and lake. Additionally, during the summer, it becomes the stage for the Lake Akan Forest Night Walk KAMUI LUMINA, illuminating the national park's nights with light and sound, showcasing a completely different, enchanting side than that of the day.

Whether by day or night, throughout the seasons, it is a place that invites repeated visits, where the distance between nature and humanity disappears entirely.
