Take the West Mt. gondola up to the scenic spiritual spot overlooking Mt. Yotei and Lake Toya.
Mt. Yotei is known in the Ainu language as “Machineshiri (Female Mountain)”, while Mt. Shiribetsu, located beyond Mt. Sorioi, is called “Pinneshiri (Male Mountain)”. Together, they have long been cherished as the “Married Mountains”. According to Ainu mythology, Mt. Yotei is believed to be the first land created by the gods, from which Hokkaido was born.
Mt. Sorioi (West Mt.) is also regarded as a special power spot. In Feng Shui, it is said to lie along a “dragon vein” of energy and is believed to correspond to the “head of the dragon”. Blessed with positive energy associated with vitality, prosperity, and good fortune, it is considered one of the most auspicious places in the area.
