One day, precisely on 7th June, our correspondent came into our office with a broad smile on his face giving me a USB.
It was obvious that he enjoyed backcountry, because his face was well sunburned :D
This time he went to Mt. Tokachi-dake.
Mt. Tokachi-dake is located among several steep peaks in Daisetsuzan National Park.
Daisetsuzan is called "Kamuimintara" - "God's Playground" by the Ainu - the indigenous people of Hokkaido.
Some come here for trekking, some come for boarding or skiing at this time of the year.
After this delightful day, he finally stored away his winter stuff in a closet.
Now he is addicted to pick edible wild plants in the mountains, and make processed food, like pickles.
Sometimes he joins flea markets to sell them. So if you come to Furano, you may have chance to taste the delicious mountain food :D
