Utanobori Green Park in Kitami Esashi !


by Kazu

On our way to Utanobori in Kitami Esashi, we dropped by Nayoro City to have lunch in the buckwheat noodle restaurant "Benihana" which meant "Scarlet Flower" in Japanese. We had to purchase some food for supper in the isolated hot spring spa and hotel "Green Park Utanobori".
It was my second business jaunt to the place in order to check up the waste water from the abolished mine. Once a mine was developed, even after the mine ran out of the copper, silver and gold, the waste water continues to flow out of the mine forever.
Most of the waste water tend to be acidic, so that should be neutralized with slaked lime continuously. Early in the morning, I was searching for an appropriate route for jogging. The trail to the upper side of the mountain was closed with heavy snow. I had to jog around the parking lot of the hotel to avoid brown bear attack.
