Situated in Daisetsuzan National Park (literally translated as 'big snow mountains'), Asahidake is Hokkaido's tallest mountain standing at 2,290m. It lies inland in the centre
of
Hokkaido, and has some of the driest snow in the world. Because Asahidake is in a National Park, it has no resort and is serviced only
by the gondola and park
rangers. The 100 person cable
car takes you to 1,600m where you can come out to see the puffing smoke of this volcanic mountain.
The Daisetsuzan mountain ranges
around Asahidake are said to be
the roof of Hokkaido receiving metres and metres of snow. In 2006, the ropeway had to
close as February brought too much snow.
Asahidake is a fun and challenging mountain best for experienced riders and on clear weather days, as this remote
big mountain can be difficult to orientate in conditions of
low visibility. Asahidake also has a hot spring which you can relax in after a day's riding in
the
garden of deities. The Ainu people called the Daisetsuzan mountains "Kamui
Mintara" (the garden where the deities play).
Access- Around 1 hour by car from Asahikawa. |
