#2024TravelReview ICE BAR is very popular among Nordic people, and it is a novelty for tourists from subtropical areas like our country, who enjoy the ice and snow space with their senses. There are DJs playing music on some event days. Don Julio 1942 is a premium tequila that can be used in cocktails such as Magarita, Tequila Sunrise, or simply as a Tequila pop. "Ice Lounge by Don Julio 1942" has opened at the former site of "Hotel Niseko Alpen Site" in Niseko, Hokkaido, where you can enjoy the ice bar with all five senses. In addition to enjoying the magical world of ice and snow, including selling drinks at the ice bar, ice cups and ice lounge with ice tables, there are also places to chill.

#September2024 On my recent trip I came to the beautiful Toya Observation Deck, a great spot to look out over Lake Toya. When I walked to the observation deck, I was amazed by the scenery in front of me: the lake was like a mirror, surrounded by green mountains, and the sky was cloudless. Just as I was immersed in this natural painting, the setting sun slowly descended, dyeing the sky golden orange. I found a comfortable seat, sat down quietly, and felt the breeze. At this moment, my soul seemed to relax with the afterglow of the sunset. The people around were also attracted by the beautiful scene. They all took out their cameras to capture this rare beauty. I couldn't help but take a few photos, wanting to treasure this beauty forever. When the sun sets, the light and shadows on the lake surface change unpredictably, as if telling touching stories. At this moment, I felt the power and quietness of nature, which made me think about everything in life. This trip to the Toya Observation Deck is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual baptism. #100TravelWays #Check-in #GlobalTravel #Hokkaido #Lake Toya #SapporoAttractions #Japan #SunsetCheck-inPosition

"Fukidashi Park" in Kyogoku-cho, Hokkaido, is a famous water spot where the blessed water of Mt. Yotei gushes out. You can freely draw the spring water and take it home. However, you should not drink it raw, but boil it before using it. Because it is located at the foot of Mt. Yotei, you can enjoy the view on a sunny day. I remember that the view from this park was the most beautiful during my stay in the Niseko area. ■Address Kawanishi, Kyogoku-cho, Abuta-gun, Hokkaido About 15 minutes by car from Kutchan Station Free parking available ■Admission fee Free #QuintessaCampaign #Hokkaido #BreathtakingView

Nakayama Pass in Hokkaido is famous for its panoramic view of Mt. Yotei, but above all, it is famous for its fried sweet potatoes.

#thingstodo It says "8 views of Lake Toya", so if you look at the materials, the Hokkaido Regional Environment Office under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment held the G8 Hokkaido Lake Toya Summit at that time, and visitors from home and abroad can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Toya as a viewing spot where visitors from home and abroad can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Toya. It is said that 8 places were selected. As the name suggests, this place is located in the Toyako Onsen area. Lake Toya is a familiar name, but according to the materials I saw before, it is a lake made in the "Toya Caldera". It is the ninth largest in the country and the third largest caldera lake in the country. As you may know, the first is Lake Kussharo, the second is Lake Shikotsu, and the top is the lake in Hokkaido. In addition, Lake Toya is designated as Shikotsu-Toya National Park around the lake, and it is also registered as a "Japan Geopark" and "World Geopark" as a Lake Toya Usu Mountain Geopark. In addition, "100 Views of Japan", "New Japan Travel and Other 100 Selections" and "500 Beautiful Japan Travels" have also been selected.

During the ski season, many tourists gather in the Niseko Hirafu area.

They also had my favorite spinach and cheese curry. You can order the spiciness to your liking in 5 levels. I chose vegetarian samosa as a side dish. The naan was so big that I couldn't finish it, and I was very satisfied! ●Taj Mahal Niseko Hirafu Store ●Kutchan-cho, Abuta-gun, Hokkaido 3-3-8 Niseko Hirafu 1-jo ●Tel: 0136-55-7505 ●Opening hours Mon-Sun & Public holidays 11:30 - 22:00 #Niseko #Indian curry

#2024wish In January 2015, I embarked on an unforgettable trip to Niseko, staying in the quaint town of Abuta-Gun, nestled between Niseko and Kutchan. The nights were enchanting as the snow-covered streets came alive with food carts, creating a heavenly atmosphere for weary skiers. The warm glow illuminated the winter wonderland, and the aroma of delicious local delicacies filled the crisp air. After exhilarating days of skiing in Niseko's renowned slopes, these cozy gatherings became a cherished ritual. The charm of Abuta-Gun, its friendly locals, and the culinary delights made it a haven for winter enthusiasts. In 2024, I wish to go there again, reliving those magical nights and creating new memories in the snow-kissed paradise.

Speaking of Kutchan in Hokkaido, there is a local dish called Gosetsu Udon, characterized by its clear noodles. This udon is made mainly from udon starch rather than wheat flour, giving it a unique texture. Here at Yukitei, you can enjoy a variety of Kutchan's local dishes, with a focus on Gosetsu Udon. The restaurant is a little far from the station, but within walking distance. It is located on the first floor of Hotel Daiichi Kaikan. There are many options for Gosetsu Udon on the menu, so please come and try it out. #HokkaidoTourism #HokkaidoGourmet #Kutchan

On the hot spring street of Toyao Lake, the gas station is about 100 meters ahead, and a 70-meter-long light tunnel is built. Every winter from November to March, every night from 6 to 10 will light up. When I saw it during the day, it was very inconspicuous. It was a white passage. Before we had dinner, we used to wait. When it was six o'clock, the lights didn't shine. We were paralyzed. Is it a holiday today?

Many anime fans are no strangers to the name of Lake Toya. The "Toyako Lake" knives of the actor "Silver Soul" in Japanese anime "Gintama" make Toya Lake an anime fan in China in such a form. Widely known. Toyako Lake is part of the Tokyu Toya National Park and is the northernmost non-frozen lake in Japan. Azure blue sky, clean lake water, pure white snow, free flying seagulls, everything is like a fairyland, legacy and independent. Because the lake is wider, the outer mountain is lower than the lake, so it gives a very broad feeling. There is the famous Toyako Onsen on the lakeshore, which is one of the few hot spring resorts in Hokkaido. In 2008, the G8 G8 Summit was held at the Windsor Hotel in Lake Toya. The leaders of the countries from all over the world gathered here and made Toya Lake the focus of the world.
