The stunning caldera lake of Shikotsu in Chitose, Hokkaido provides the dramatic natural backdrop seen in ERASED. Its crystal-clear waters surrounded by volcanic mountains create the same sense of isolated beauty and hidden danger that characterizes the anime's Hokkaido setting.
📺 Scene from the Anime
The lake and surrounding forests appear in scenes depicting the Hokkaido wilderness. The isolated natural setting plays a role in the suspenseful atmosphere of the kidnapping storyline.
