When it comes to the first autumn leaves, the Taisetsuzan mountain range in Hokkaido stands out. The highest peaks, from Mt. Asahidake to Mt. Kurodake, offer some of the best views of autumn foliage in Hokkaido. The vibrant colors of the leaves gradually spread across the entire region day by day.
After enjoying the autumn foliage, Sounkyo in Asahikawa offers a relaxing retreat with its numerous hot springs and ryokan. Spending a couple of days here is ideal for immersing yourself in nature. For a memorable experience, consider a day-long hike up Mt. Kurodake. You can drive to the base of Mt. Kurodake and then take a ropeway and lift to the 7th station, where the hiking trail to the summit begins. The ascent takes just 30 minutes, but be sure to prepare proper hiking equipment, especially sturdy shoes.
Visiting during autumn is truly rewarding and worth experiencing firsthand.
