Wild Hokkaido!

Season 1 Episode 8: Mt. Usu

Our stage today is Mt. Usu, a registered UNESCO Global Geopark. Our host will visit the Volcano Science Museum and explore the crater that was formed by the eruption of 2000. Steam rises from the crater of Mt. Usu even to this day and gives visitors a sense of the power that the volcano that erupted 4 times in the 20th century possesses. In addition, NHK has been documenting the changes to the surrounding nature of Mt. Usu since the eruption. These precious footages display the destructive power of volcanoes, as well as nature’s incredible ability to restore itself.
