Shikisai no Oka

Reviewed By J1734GVmichellec - Tokyo Prefecture, Japan

Absolutely stunning! This "rainbow field" is definitely our favourite one in the area. The parking fee is waived if you purchase the food at the restaurant on the second floor of the entrance building. Very fair and reasonable. The food was good too. Highly recommended and must visit!

Asahidake Ropeway

Reviewed By I6347QWjang

Mount Asahidake in the first snow, is marvellous. We didn't believe our eyes when we went up with the ropeway, going from a white-ish shine on the plants to a full 7 cm layer of crispy fresh white powder. Add another 30 cm and we would have been frustrated not to habe brought our ski's on the plane. The sight of the steam plumes coming out of the mountain's sides was awesome, to say the least

Sounkyo Gorge

The main attraction at Daisetsuzan National Park is this 12.4-mile gorge with towering cliffs and tumbling waterfalls.

Reviewed By Onn11 - Jurong, Singapore

We visited this place on two consecutive days, on 9-10 October 2019. The first day was raining and wind was strong, and hence both Ropeway and Pair Lift was closed. Suggest to check the weather for the day before making the trip down, as unfavourable weather can really render a day trip to the Gorge area fruitless. We took a local train from Asahikawa to Kamikawa station, followed by the bus ride from Kamikawa which took about 30 minutes. Do check out the train and bus timings before you make the trip down. On the way to the Gorge, you can already see a beautiful row of trees in their yellow autumn colours on the right side of the bus ride. The Gorge itself is beautiful and awash in autumn colours in the 2 days we were there, as early October seems the best time to visit. One good place to visit is the Momojidani Hike, the start point being a 15 minute walk on the road to the right from the exit of the Ropeway station. It is a moderately difficult hike especially from the halfway point due to the largely uneven walking trail. The Gorge area has various shops and places for drinks and food, plus an informative tourist information centre adjacent to the Ropeway station.

Daisetsuzan Sounkyo-Kurodake Ropeway and chairlift opened on June 29,1967, as the climber's gateway the Daisetsu Mountains, and also to enable visitors tosee the magnifcent views from above the Sounkyo Gorge. The splendor of natural environment can be enjoyed throughout the year on Mt.Kurodake(1984m),Daisetsu Mountains' highest peak with the mountain greenery budding amid the snow melt in June, the commnunities of aipne plants in summer, the colorful leaves in autumn, and skiing and snowshoeing in winter. ●Kamuy-Mintara● The Daisetsu Mountains, where Mt.Kurodake is located, are known as Kamuy-Mintara(the garden where gods play) in the Ainu language. The area boasted over 300 virieties ob alpine plants, and the magnificent scenery can indeed be said to be "a paradise above the clouds".

Winter wonderland came early in Sounkyo. Masjectic views of the mountains covered with snow and the freezing cool air made it so worthwhile to be up in the mountains while enjoying the scenery. Plenty of snow made it more fun. This was in November. Woo-hoo!!! You can also enjoy your delicious ramen and coffee as there was a dining area for those who are starving.

Ginga Falls

Reviewed By ChrystleAdventures - Niseko-cho, Japan

It's a great spot to visit for beautiful views, with a few places to go hiking up to better viewpoints. I'd recommend bringing closed in shoes to get up a little higher for a view. There is a large car park below the falls and a beautiful pathway that winds around the base of these falls and a few other smaller ones in the area. But you can't see both falls from the one spot down the bottoms and need to get a little higher.

We were told that first time skiers best learn to ski in powder snow and it was correct --our 10 years old daughter (after 9 lessons of 2 hours each) is now able to ski downhill without poles!

Shirogane Blue Pond

Reviewed By Rainne_T - Singapore, Singapore

Although this place is often swarmed with tourists, it is still a must visit if you are already making a trip down to Biei. Just don't get your expectations too high (most photos you see on the internet have been edited anyway), and you'll still find yourself blown away by the view. It is a one-way path around one side of the pond, so there won't be any reverse human traffic happening. There are still plenty of spots for you to take photos without being photo-bombed. Do go all the way to the end though - you get to see the blue pond ending on your right and there's lovely autumn foliage on the hill right in front of you. Toilets are available at the site as well.
