If the representative hot spring in central Hokkaido is the Noboribetsu Onsen area, then the representative hot spring in northern Hokkaido should be the Sounkyo Onsen Resort, which is also one of the larger hot spring resorts in Hokkaido. Sounkyo is a canyon located in Kamikawa, Hokkaido, Japan, within the Daisetsuzan National Park. Travelers can drive from Asahikawa City towards the Daisetsuzan Mountains, which takes about 70 minutes. There are many hot spring hotels in Sounkyo Onsen Street, all of which are quaint and have a lot of specialty shops to visit. At the end of the shopping street is the Kurodake Cable Car Sounkyo Station. Visitors can take the Kurodake cable car, which takes about six minutes to reach Kurodake Station and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Daisetsuzan and other mountains from the perspective of the mountainside. Every winter, Kurodake Station has a chairlift that goes directly to the famous Daisetsuzan Ski Resort, but it is only open from October to April each year. If you want to go skiing, please pay attention to the opening hours and dates.

Kurodake Ishimuro, Daisetsuzan National Park, Hokkaido It is 800m and 20 minutes from the summit of Mt. Kurodake Ishimuro. From the summit, you can get there by walking along a relatively gentle ridge and then descending a little bit of rocky ground. It is open and there is only one path, so you won't get lost. If you have time, if you go to the summit, try heading for Kurodake Ishimuro. There is a shelter and camping space, where people who climb other mountains stay. As someone who doesn't usually climb mountains, I think the colorful tents are photogenic. The high altitude makes it cool even in summer, and in September the weather was just right for wearing a thin down jacket. #Secret summer resort #Summer trip#Breathtaking views

Mt. Kurodake is located in Daisetsuzan National Park in Hokkaido. Mt. Kurodake is a mountain that even beginners can climb from the 7th station to the summit using the ropeway and lift. I don't usually climb mountains, but I was able to climb this mountain. You can climb from the bottom, or you can start from the 5th ropeway station, and you can also head to another mountain from the summit. It was crowded on the way to the summit, so we climbed slowly, and it took just over an hour and a half each way, but we were able to see some amazing views along the way, and it was very beautiful during the autumn leaves season. #forestbathing #summertrip #amazingviews

Mt. Kurodake, Hokkaido Using the ropeway and lift, we went to the 7th station and then climbed to the summit! 1984m Even beginners who are completely unable to climb were able to do it! The day we had originally planned to climb was cloudy and rainy, so we postponed it, changed our plans, and climbed in sneakers on a day when the weather forecast predicted clear skies. Mountain climbers head to other mountains from the summit of Mt. Kurodake, and camp in tents and follow the route that suits them, but I just went down the mountain. #Mountain climbing #Forest bathing #Summer trip#Amazing view

Pair lift at Kurodake, Sounkyo, Hokkaido. Take the ropeway to the 5th station, then the lift will take you from the 5th to the 7th station.

Kurodake is a popular climbing spot in Hokkaido's Daisetsuzan National Park. It takes about an hour by car from Asahikawa to get there. Next to the ropeway is the Sounkyo Onsen hot spring town. There are many climbers and hot spring lovers here. Today I was the first to take the ropeway. It was around 6 o'clock. There were a lot of people waiting. I was lucky enough to see the sea of ​​clouds. The weather is very nice. Everyone should check the live camera conditions on the official ropeway website. You can usually see whether you will see the sea of ​​clouds.

#springsummergoodplace2024 #大雪山SOunkyo # Kurodake Ropeway #hokkaido 🕰️Business hours: 6:00-18:00 🗓️Itinerary: 1.5-2.5 hours 💞Reason for recommendation: beautiful scenery and cool climate 📍Address: 〒078-1701 Sounkyo, Kamikawa Town, Kamikawa County, Hokkaido The Kurodake Cable Car is located next to the Sounkyo Hot Spring Street. We bought a cable car + chairlift package, and first took the 7-minute cable car to the fifth station (elevation 1,300 meters). We walked around and took pictures, Kurodake Station. There is a viewing platform on which you can see the vast mountain scenery. Take the chairlift to the seventh station (elevation 1,520 meters) and take a walk in the air. The boarding area is not inside the station, you have to walk a short distance from the station to board it. When the service staff saw that we were taking the elderly with us, they would help slow down the speed of getting on the chairlift, which made people feel at ease. The speed and slope of the chairlift are very gentle, and it doesn't look scary. It is very suitable for a whole family to play together.

Biei Daisukesan Baekseok Hot Spring Hotel has great hot springs. There are open-air hot springs and large baths. Hokkaido's local hot springs have many plant hot springs, but this one is a germanium hot spring with a lot of sulfur. It was great to stay here with hot springs and kaiseki cuisine. It was even better because it was the first hot spring hotel during the 3 nights and 4 days with TLC Tour CEO Park. I recommend Daisukesan Baekseok Hot Spring Hotel, which is easily accessible, for the highly recommended Furano Lavender Tour. #FuranoTravel #Daisukesan #DaisukesanBaekseokHotSpringHotel #Hocation #HokkaidoTravel
