*WS 89: captivating autumn vista in Kurodake (黒岳山), Hokkaido, Japan*
The Daisetsuzan National Park is a huge national park in central Hokkaido, Japan. There are several mountains within the national park which have ropeways to enable tourists and skiers to get near the peak easily. We were here in 2018 and went up to 2 of these peaks, Asahidake and Kurodake, on 2 consecutive days. We would talk about only Kurodake here.
From the base of Asahidake our group took several hours to drive to the base of Kurodake, the town called Sounkyo Onsen. The 1st 2 photos show the magnificent autumn colours along the journey. The 3rd and 4th photo show the views from the observation deck of the 5th ropeway station. From here We had to change to a chairlift to go to the 7th station. Then tried to trek to the summit, part of the journey shown in the 5th and 6th photo. However we stopped after about 20 minutes because it started to rain and the trek became slippery. The last 2 photos show scenery near the bottom station of the ropeway.
