Mount Ariju, Hokkaido is a breathtakingly beautiful town during the snow season. This trip mainly shuttles through the Ariju Mountain Cable Car and the spectacular Ariju volcano. The most profound realization of this trip: You must first take the cable car there is Pearl Mountain, the snow scenery along the way is super fantastic, the cable car slowly rises, feels like entering the world of ice and snow fairy tale! There is the Pearl Mountain Cable Car 📍Address: 184-5 Showashinzan, Sobetsu, Usu District, Hokkaido 052-0102 Japan 🕗Opening Hours: 08:00-18:00 (Open all year round) If you are like me and like to enjoy nature quietly, you might as well arrive at the cable car station early to avoid the crowds, the shadows of trees and ice and snow landscapes around you are especially healing during heavy snow. The cable car takes about 6 minutes and takes you directly from the base of Showa Shinsan to Yuzu Summit Station. The white cedar forest outside the window makes every second of scenery worth shooting. After getting off the cable car, you can enjoy the magnificent views of nearby Lake Toya and Mount Showa. You can also see the Pacific Ocean in the distance when the weather is beautiful! If you encounter a sunny day, the clear outline of the volcanoes and snow-capped mountains in the distance is super shocking (camera must be prepared!). Even if it is cloudy and rainy, the atmosphere surrounding the mountains and mountains is more mysterious. There is Pearl Volcano 📍Address: Mount Ariju, Ida, Hokkaido 🕗 Opening Hours: Open all day Not far from the cable car station, Yuzu Volcano is one of the most representative active volcanoes in Hokkaido. There have been several eruptions since ancient times, and the surrounding volcanic remains and rocky landscape are exaggeratedly spectacular. During the visit, the weather was sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, and the crater landscape under the ice and snow appeared particularly wild - not too many people, quietly hiking, along the trail to see the volcanoes, woods, snow, really more than the hustle and bustle of the city more tranquility, can fully feel the original power of nature. You can choose a partial hike or a complete detour according to your stamina and time, some sections are slippery in winter, remember to wear non-slip shoes! Itinerary Tips for Grand Glank Town: ⭐ The cable car up the mountain route is shorter, but the scenery is great value, remember to prepare warm and waterproof clothing in advance, especially in winter temperatures are super low, the ground is slippery with snow. ⭐ If you encounter cloudy and rainy days, remember to protect your camera, the volcanoes and forests under the fog are more flavorful. ⭐ There are not many restaurants near the summit. If you want to eat hot food, you can replenish your food in restaurants in the Showa Shinzan area. ⭐ Few tourists on weekdays, more suitable to slowly feel nature, no need to rush. Transportation: From Sapporo, you can take the JR to Toya Station, then transfer to a bus directly to Showa Shinsan (cable car base), which takes about 2 hours. It is most convenient to drive along National Highway 453. Pay attention to the icy road in winter. To sum up, the area of Mount Ariju in Shoghan-cho, Hokkaido is a place where you can quietly feel the volcanoes, snow scenery and forests. Even if the weather is changeable, just experience it with your heart, there is a different magnificence from every angle! Are you ready to pursue your own magnificent feelings in the snow country? #Hokkaido Travel #Arijusan Cable Car #Snow Scenery Hiking #Volcano Photography #Natural Scenery of Grand Gap Town
