We spent the weekend cycling out north from Sapporo to Miyajima-numa Pond (宮島沼) to see the 65,000 or so migratory Greater White-fronted Geese (マガン) take off at dawn. Always an incredible, humbling sight. That 3:20am -5 degree C start in the morning though...great to see @saoka_hokkaido_guide and @harlowamanda out there too! 🐦 Trip report link in bio. 🚲 #hokkaidocycletouring #hokkaidowilds #hokkaidobirdwatching #野鳥 #北海道 #bordwatching #geese #hokkaido

FULL CYCLE TOURING ROUTE | Teuri (天売島) and Yagishiri (焼尻島) Islands are meccas for bird-watchers and nature-lovers. Off the northwestern coast of Hokkaido, they're only about 12km in diameter, but perfect for pottering about on a bicycle. We headed over there in Golden Week last year to check out the 1 million or so sea birds. 🚲 Link in bio. 🌱 #hokkaidocycletouring #cycletouring #hokkaidowilds #japancycletouring #teuri #天売島 #焼尻島 #yagishiri #bicycletouring #foldingbikesociety #foldingbike #bikefriday #bicycle #islandlife

SKI TOUR ROUTE | At the foot of mighty Rishiri-zan is an unassuming hill with the cutest name on the planet: Pon-yama (ポン山, 444m). It is a very beginner-friendly hill, easily accessed from the Oshidomari township. Expect amazing views across to Rishiri-zan, and some fun, lappable tree-free skiing on its southern slopes. #rishiri #hokkaidoskitouring #hokkaido #japan #ponyama #利尻山 #hokkaidowilds #skitouring #backcountry

TRAMPING TUESDAY | @ricksiddle overviews an alternate route up Muine-yama this week. He writes The bulky whaleback mountain of Muineyama (無意根山, 1464m) is the second highest mountain in the Sapporo area and holds snow well into early summer, making it a striking sight from various places on the outskirts of the city. There are two summer routes. Here we describe the northern Motoyama Route (元山コース) starting from the abandoned mine at Toyoha (豊羽鉱山) above the Jozankei Onsen area. After climbing up the forest to the ridge the trail makes a long traverse through sasa dwarf bamboo to the stunted forests of the long summit ridge. On a clear day the views from the top in all directions are stunning. Link in bio. #hokkaidohiking #hokkaido #hiking #trekking #outdoors #japan #sapporo #sapporohikes #hokkaidowilds
