About climbing the Daisetsuzan mountain range

While now it is the popular season to enjoy hiking in the Daisetsuzan Range,visitors are reminded to double check the mountain conditions before you leave to prevent accidents. It should be noted that the weather is unsteady and can change rapidly.Even if it is sunny when you start to climb the mountain, it is not unusual that the weather will suddenly change and the vision can become blurry. During hiking or climbing, if you think that "I do not know the route" or "I got lost" please call the police for help immediately as it is the sign of mountain distress. Please call 110 to report an accident to the police call center for rescue. Careful planning and adequate equipment for winter mountain climbing is required in order to prevent accidents. Always check the local weather and avalanche forecasts before you climb.

TOUR COURSE
[July to mid-October]

In July, snow is still melting since June along with alpine plants are scattered everywhere and this scene gives us the realization that spring has finally come to Daisetsuzan. This time of the season is very special because the spring landscape transforms into a summer landscape all at once. Naturally, this transition can only be enjoyed for a limited time. The walking course shows the beauty of Daisetsuzan’s full-length. The Ainu people called the mountaintop of Daisetsuzan KAMUIMINTARA, which means the garden where Gods play. It takes approximately 1 hour to walk all the way around Sugatami Pond. We hope that you will enjoy this special walking trail.
