To Lake Shikaribetsu !

by Kazu

It was a little bit foggy on the hillside to Lake Shikaribetsu. Tokachi Plain could not be seen clearly from the lookout on the hillside.

 The southern edge of the lake was frozen up even at the beginning of May.This small lake leads to the typical caldera lake Shikaribetsu.

Mt. Lips called "Kuchibiru Yama" in Japanese. The mountain is upper lip and with the reflection from the surface, the whole lips could be seen.
A foot-bath of hot spring was beside the pier on the lake.
