Tomakomai is often enveloped in thick fog in early summer.
Poor visibility and trouble drying laundry can be inconvenient, but the softened glow of nighttime lights creates a dreamy, otherworldly scene.

A mountain-opening Shinto ceremony to pray for safety took place at the summit of Mt. Tarumae on June 12th.
A newly installed information board now includes an English description.
Mt. Tarumae stands at 1,041 meters and is considered relatively easy to climb.
Some hikers are seen wearing sandals, thin-soled sneakers, or short sleeves and shorts, but we recommend trekking shoes and a windbreaker.
(The trails are slippery due to pumice ejected during past eruptions, and strong winds always blow at the summit.)
