🍂Birao Mountain⛰️
Birao Mountain, standing at an elevation of 553.7 meters, is located in Teshikaga. Its name originates from the Ainu word "Pira Oro" meaning "place of the cliffs."
Situated near the center of Teshikaga, it was once a beloved symbol of the town, where local middle school students would hike and participate in ski lessons during winter.
Birao Mountain pairs beautifully with the autumn season, offering stunning views. The leaves gradually begin to change, allowing visitors to experience the transformation day by day.
The best time to enjoy the autumn foliage in Teshikaga is expected to be from late September to mid-October this year.
This is the most comfortable time of the year, with relatively stable weather, making it perfect for activities. So, please do come to Teshikaga!📸🍁🛶✨🐾
