…and if it is Room 1316 at the Yumoto Ginsen-kaku, you just might see a view like this one.
I took the photo circa 5 p.m on May 28, as sunlight and cloud danced through Sounkyo Gorge.
The mountains above it are also very beautiful…of which more later this year.
Today included mountain vistas, a walk through snow, a glorious pair of waterfalls, some exquisite forest, and a memorably close encounter with a Hokkaido Red Fox.
At lunchtime, back down in Sounkyo, we saw a sign which was attempting to draw people into a Bar & Grill, whilst reminding them of nearby natural features.
“Canyon” is probably Sounkyo Gorge. “Kurodake” is Mount Kuro – on whose snowy flanks we met the fox.
