Climb the hill again ?

 by Kazu

Upper side of Mt. Esan was not filled up with azalea flowers blooming yet. The forest on this mountain seemed to be well-planned and trimmed.

 Getting down the mountain, we headed to Hakodate City and turned to the north to go back to Sapporo City. The scenery of the southern part of Hokkaido is so mild, I think.

 Mt. Komagatake is also an active volcano. There are 6 "Mt. Komagatake" in Japan. My root is in Nagano Prefecture and there is another "Komagatake" in Nagano.
