  • The season is early August. A scene from Hokkaido solo touring. Touring was also near the end, so on this day, we used the ropeway to go to the top of the mountain. There is a difference in elevation and it is wonderful. Of course, the hot springs were also good.
  • There are different scenery in different seasons. This visit just happened to not meet the time when the red leaves erupted. It is a pity that I will want to come again when I have a chance! The photo was taken on 2019.10.10
