Arrival of snow!!

The cold in the sky over Hokkaido brought the first snow inland before dawn on the morning of Oct 3 several days earlier than usual.

There is about 30 ~ 40 cm of snow around the crater of Tokachidake.

But the temperature will rise to normal this week

You can enjoy autumn colors and snow at the same time while soaking a cosy outside hot spring.
