  • HIKING ROUTE | Kotengu-dake (小天狗岳, 765m) is a rocky prow standing above Jozankei Dam, visible from Prefectural Route 1 across Lake Sapporo. Its modest height means it can be easily climbed in a few hours return, making it an easy day out for Sapporo residents, especially during the spectacularly colourful autumn. . . LINK IN BIO . .

  • On Shiribetsu River's (尻別川) Rafting Course (ラフトコース), the rapids can be bony, pushy, and require quick, decisive maneuvering in a Canadian canoe. Depending on conditions the crux of the route, Futamata Rapids (二又の瀬) can top out at close to Class IV. As the route winds its way around the dramatic Yotei-zan (羊蹄山, 1898m), dramatic views of its conical peak await. At the end of the route, tall clay cliffs with spring-water waterfalls give paddlers a send-off. . .

  • CITY CAMPING | Ebetsu Forest Campsite (江別市森林キャンプ場) is a quiet campground nestled on the far northeastern corner of the expansive Nopporo Forest Park east of Sapporo City. From the campground, there is access to Nopporo Forest Park via an over-grown trail near the Osawa Reservoir, or the Forestry Research Center. The campground itself makes for a great forested getaway micro-adventure on bicycles for Sapporo dwellers - from Sapporo Station, almost 75% of the route is on separated cycle paths. . .

  • DEEP DIVE | Since the 1960's, drinking untreated water directly from streams in Hokkaido in northern Japan has been a risky business. The local foxes carry a parasite which causes Echinococcosis, a disease with a 90% fatality rate in humans if left untreated. Inspired by @adhokkaidotours recent overview, we do a deeper dive into the history of this disease in Hokkaido. . .

  • HIKING ROUTE | Hakken-zan (八剣山, 498m) is a fantastic beginner-friendly mountain east of Jozankei in Sapporo City. It is popular because despite its simple, straight forward climb, it gets the heart racing with a precipitous cliff on its northern face, right next to the summit. The route here continues northwest from the summit to complete a circuit via the Hakken-zan settlement. Keep an eye out for the Hakken-zan winery and a bakery along the way. . .

  • HIKING ROUTE | Moiwa-yama (藻岩山, 531m) is a tall hill to the west of Sapporo City, the sprawling capital of Hokkaido. This route tackles the summit from the longest trail on the way up (Asahiyama Park Trail, 旭山公園コース) and then takes the shorter Jikeikai Hospital route (慈啓会病院コース) on the way down. We've included the walk from Maruyama Subway Station too for a wander through Sapporo's up-market Maruyama neighborhood. The hike offers great views, which attract both hardcore hikers looking for a quick city getaway, as well as first-timers with kids in tow. The summit will be shared with hordes of tourists who take the easy way up via the Moiwa Ropeway but hikers get to enjoy about 3 hours of sustained views of the city on the way up and down. . .
