Lake Mashu, boasting the world’s second highest water clarity,
is
also called the “Lake of the Gods.”
A breathtakingly beautiful youth hostel
located in

Terminal of Eastern Hokkaido Mashu Lake Youth Hostel
Mashu Youth Hostel is
like a “nurse’s office” for
travelers.
At the end of a straight road,
lies Lake Mashu with the
second-highest water clarity in the world after Lake Baikal in Russia.
This lodge, standing closest to the lake,
is a quiet, comforting place for everyone.
It is
filled with “freedom” and “space.”
Located right in the center of Eastern Hokkaido,
it is close to tourist spots in all
directions—
the true “Terminal of Eastern Hokkaido.”
Lake Mashu
~ A mystical lake boasting Japan’s clearest waters ~
In Ainu language, Mashu Lake is called “Kamuy-to,”
meaning “Lake
of the Gods,” a place of mystery.
The lake’s water clarity ranks first in Japan and second in the world.
The unique color created by the reflection of the blue sky
is so beautiful that
it is called “Mashu Blue.”
The appearance of the lake changes dramatically with the seasons,
always offering new scenery
to those who visit.
Please enjoy Lake Mashu in each season.
Indigo Dye Therapy Experience
A special experience that dyes both mind and body
“Indigo dyeing not only colors fabric,
but also
colors the heart and body.”
Based on this concept,
it is more than just a dyeing workshop—
it offers visitors time to reflect on themselves,
feel the power of nature,
and relax deeply.
Indigo dye has antibacterial, deodorizing, and warming effects.
It has supported people’s health since ancient times as a blessing from nature.
In the great outdoors, sharpen your senses,
and use this time to refresh your
heart.
*Scheduled to start from July 7.
This is the lodge closest to Lake Mashu.
A warm and welcoming space where everyone can be themselves.
In the morning, hear birds chirping and leaves rustling,
at night, the voices of animals and a sky full of stars emerging from the darkness.
Step away from city noise and daily stress,
and feel the natural rhythm of the Earth
in the slow passage of time.
