Mount Fuppushi - Mount Fuppushi

Japanese: 風不死岳 - ふっぷしだけ

A volcano towering on the southern shore of Lake Shikotsu in Chitose City, southwestern Hokkaido. It is 1,103 meters above sea level. It is a cone-shaped stratovolcano that erupted into the Shikotsu caldera after it was formed. It is made of pyroxene andesite and pyroclastic materials, and due to erosion, the remains of the crater are no longer clear. The name of the place comes from the Ainu word "Huppuushi" (meaning "abies fir"). It belongs to Shikotsu-Toya National Park.
