To the peak of Mt.Iwaonupri !

by Kazu

Can you see the small building over the woods on the hillside of Mt. Iwaonupri ? The outside hot spring spa of Goshiki Onsen is facing this lookout so the naked people can be seen from this place.

It is a problem for the tourists enjoying bathing in the spa. That is why new hot spring spas were made on the other side of the building of Goshiki Onsen.

The peak of Mt. Niseko Annupri could be seen from the lookout but the entrance of the trail to the peak is different from that for Mt. Iwaonupri.
The first stairs on the trail to the peak of Mt. Iwaonupri. White snow still covered the hillside. We start to go up to the peak early in the morning.
