Fall Foliage at Sounkyo 層雲峡 (Daisetsuzan National Park), chair lift , Hokkaido 北海道 2013 (Part 2)

Ok, now come to 2nd part of Fall Foliage at Sounkyo. After took the ropeway, we continue to take chair lift which brought us to summit of mount Kurodake (1984 metres). The chair lift itself look quite scary right ? actually don't need to scare the height, it was very close to the ground. And we have very nice view of the difference colour of leaves through out the journey to the summit.

 

Here we reached to the top, from here, hikers can continue hike to higher level of summit of Asahidake.

 

We were going down to take ropeway after a short walk at the summit, weather on the top was kind of cold..

 

We were taking ropeway to go down to the ground. The view here were stunning, but my photos couldn't justify the beauty of this scene, you have to come yourself to have a look..

 

We have a short and rush visit to Sounkyo as we have to rush back to Sapporo  ( 2hrs bus drive from here to Asahikawa station, then 1 1/2hrs by train from Asahikawa to Sapporo) ...Next time I wish to stay a night here..
OK, in my next post, I share with you the most delicious ramen we had at Asahikawa ...
