Near the peak !

by Kazu

I felt as if I was on the pass of Middle Asia barren and windy but the blue ocean made me re-recognize that I was in Hokkaido with amazing grace.  

This contrast may be the cutting edge of Hokkaido tourism. Lava rocks made up so nice scenery as by-players beside the trail.

Can you imagine how the scenery was made as a result of the eruption of this volcano thousands of years ago ? The percentage of silicon must be so high in the lava.
