• HIKING ROUTE | The wonderfully named and shapely twin peaks of Horohoro-yama (ホロホロ山, 1322m) and Tokushunbetsu-yama (徳舜瞥山, 1309m) are connected by a high-level ridge that gives one of the best day hikes in the vicinity of Sapporo. Due to the cold winds off the Pacific Ocean the forest is sparse higher up and the ridge provides a fine open panorama to the sea in one direction and Lake Shikotsu and Yoteizan in the other. @ricksiddle fills in the details on this route guide. . . .

  • CYCLING ROUTE | This solid day-long gravel route around the Mena Valley in Rankoshi takes riders up and over ridges and valleys, through forests and some of the most productive farmland in the Niseko area. With just over 60km of riding, and over 1200m of vertical climb, it is a solid, rewarding day out. . . .

  • HIKING ROUTE | Teshio-dake (天塩岳, 1558m) is regarded as the highest mountain in northern Hokkaido on the main island, though it is actually not that far north of the Kita-Daisetsuzan range making it still fairly centrally located. Accessed by a long forest road, it is a remote and broad massif whose tops provide a fine horseshoe route in wild, open country with the added attraction of not one, but two, mountain huts. . . .

  • TESTED IN HOKKAIDO | The 100% electric Nissan Leaf - can it handle driving 200km with two Canadian canoes strapped to the roof? We found out, when we were asked by Nissan Sapporo Central dealership to take a 40kWh Leaf on one of our adventures. Long story short - don't drive it on the expressway...you'll spend most of the time on the road sitting at charging stations! . .

  • CANOEING | The slalom course on the Ikushunbetsu River (幾春別川) in Mikasa City is a great spot for honing the canoe and kayak skills. We checked it out last weekend, where by chance we found it with a solid 14 cumecs of water running down it. Perfect (or not so perfect) for capsizing not one but two canoes :-) . .

  • 2-DAY CANOEING | The Tokachi River (十勝川) is an iconic Hokkaido river flowing from high in the Daisetuzan Range, south to the Pacific Ocean. This 50km overnight section of the river arguably takes in some of the best the river has to offer: dramatic scenery, red-crested cranes, white-tailed eagles, and great river-bed camping. We teamed up with Greg and Mari for a perfect antidote to a sweltering late summer's weekend. . .
