Beautiful winter scenery. Tokachi has a high rate of sunny weather even in winter, so the blue sky and misty ice are very beautiful.

【Superb view of Tokachi River Onsen】Unryu It is a river fog that appears in the early morning when the temperature is below -15°C in the severe winter season of January ~ February. It came to be called "Unryu" because it looks as if a dragon is floating and lying along the flow of the Tokachi River. You can see this view at the Tokachigaoka Observatory. It is a spectacular view that can only be seen in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon, so please come to Tokachi River Onsen to see the cloud dragon!

If the weather is nice, you can soak in the hot springs and watch 🌅 the first sunrise over the Pacific Ocean How about the first hot spring of the new year at the late hot spring with a view of the sea?

This is today's Tokachigaoka Observatory! Tokachi Sunny 🌞 During the day, it is about -2°C, but thanks to the sun, it feels warmer than the temperature. There are ❣️ many ducks on the fence of the observatory It's cute, isn't it? 😳

"Eagle Observation Premium Tour" I participated in the winter-only tour held at the Tokachi Nature Center! In the midst of light snow, we will proceed along the quiet Tokachi River while receiving explanations from the guide of the Wild Bird Society. In addition to sea eagles and white-tailed eagles, we were able to see many wild birds such as striped long-tailed moths, swans, and kawaisa! I was impressed by the fact that I was able ✨ to use binoculars and telescopes to capture the figure clearly The other participants brought cool lenses that looked like bazookas 😎 It was a very satisfying 45 minutes. The tour will be held until 1/7 and will be held only on Saturdays and Sundays. Please contact the Tokachi Nature Center for details. 【Inquiry】 0155-32-6116 Tokachi Nature Center

Snow fell on Mikuni Pass~ The collaboration of autumn leaves and snow was beautiful It was cold... occasional blizzards It's still October, but it's cold in the middle of winter here. But I was impressed because I rarely see "autumn leaves" and "snow". The above was ⛄️ a report from Snow Dharma-kun (Kamishoro Town Town)

The day was finally getting cooler and I could feel the signs of autumn clearly. The mountain range looked beautiful today. It's chilly when the sun goes down. Photographed from the Tokachi Chuo Bridge.
