Taisetsu info; A winter day in Souunkyo.

【 DATE 】30th Nov 2008
【 AREA 】Souunkyo, Taisetsu-Zan National Park, Kamikawa, Hokkaido, Japan
【 WEATHER 】Snow to Snow storm
【TEMPERATURE】Negative 4.6℃ 22:00(Asahikawa)

Hello.

I went to Kamikawa. The weather changed quickly and became snow storm
around Kamikawa area. It was fun but should't go out from car much ,so
enjoyed spending time for shopping and looking at inside of ice pavilion.

But I get off car sometime coz I wanted to feel the snow storm there.
10 seconds was the limit in the storm. Afterwards the storm harder and harder
even driving became hard with fogg. I drove slow and carfully.

This was real Hokkaido isn't it?

Bytheway, you should not drive with harsh weather if you are tourists who do not have experience on snow. You should take a public transport otherwise you will
have a problem.

Please be safety and enjouy Hokkiaido experience.

Hi.

I went to Souunkyo. It was so cold and I felt signs of snow season comming
but today was a calm and peaceful day.

The place I have been to Kitanomori Garden, Ice pavilion, Ginga and Ryusei water falls and Taisetsu manmade lake. As you could see a photo below, I had 100yen mashroom miso soup
and Riceball as a lunch. It all cost me only 500yen which was good value. Hokkaido mashroom
(Kinoko) is fresh and good quality. You should try it, if you like mashrooms.

And waterfalls, these were really beautiful. Especially Ginga waterfall was frozen. It is great to
look. I wish I had taken really good digital camera for shooting those waterfalls from far observation place. It was cool snowscape and scenary with sunset time anyway.

I want to go back there again with my better camera.
See you.
