Mount Usuzan via Usuzan Ropeway. Love this fiery and Live volcano especially winter . To go up the mountain that you can ride the Usuzan Ropeway or hike up the mountain. As tourist and I need to save time I choose the Ropeway . The Usuzan Ropeway brings you close to the volcano's summit. The upper station's observation deck offers panoramic views of Lake Toya and neighboring Showa Shinzan. Once the rope way brought you near the summit , a staircase hike of half an hour is required to go near the craters. Magnificent sights and view. Very beautiful place even during winter time. The mountain and also the crater including lake Toya from mountain view. Made my hike worthwhile.#bucketlistreboot #MustDo

A perfect day at Usuzan Ropeway !

It’s not too cold but not too warm either ! Perfect weather w a very beautiful green scenery. As the gondola goes higher, we can alr see the panaromic view overlooking Lake Toya & Showa Shinzan mountain. The view is just soooo breathtaking. You wish you could just stop and take in the moment to enjoy the view. We went during early Sept, which is still summer season therefore the trees were still green. Pretty sure it’ll look even more amazing during autumn season. Also, we even get to see the Mt Usu Crater ! This is definitely a must go attraction & experience it yourself ! #usuzanropeway #Japan #Hokkaido #summer #timetotravel #freehotelstay #Trip
