Mt. Daisetsu is not an independent mountain. It is the name for range of mountains located in the center of Hokkaido.
Mt. Daisetsu is well known as the place you can enjoy brilliant autumn color of leaves first in Japan.
It was on the 21st, September when I climbed Mt. Kurodake(one of the mountains in Mt. Daisetsu National Park) with the tourists I attended. It was only around the summit that was tinted at that time.
However, the following day, the local news said that there was a snowfall at the top of the mountain, and actually, it got much colder than the previous day.
I visited Furano, Biei, Sounkyo gorge, Lake Akan and Shiretoko on my guiding job last week. I am going to tell you about the trip of this time in a few parts for the coming several days.
I visited Biei the end of last month, and uploaded some photos of “Shikisai no Oka” meaning the Hill of Colors that always attracts many tourists.
This time, I would like to introduce another beautiful flowering field of “Kanno Farm” in Kamifurano town. This farm is also a good place to enjoy colorful carpet of flowers.
I went to Noboribetsu known as a nice hot spring village in Hokkaido on my tour guiding trip last Friday (10th).
On the way to the hot spring, we visited Noboribetsu Marine Park NIXE, a theme park focusing on fish, marine mammals, sea creatures and some other animals.
I have never been there since we have a wonderful aquarium in Otaru, but NIXE has a different feature.
