Yesterday, Sunday, I departed from Karikachi Pass and climbed Mt. Sahoro. On the way, it takes about two and a half hours to reach the summit of Mt. Sahoro via the summit of Mt. Sakura. Blessed with good weather, we enjoyed the Tokachi Plain below, Mt. Tomuraushi, one of the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group in the distance, the view of the Hidaka Mountains, which are scheduled to be designated as a national park in July, and the white flowers of the Chishima cherry blossoms, which are beginning to bloom along the way. #Hokkaido #Tokachi #Shintoku Town #Shintoku Tourism Association #Karikachi Pass #Mt.
